Yellow Cottage, Agnes Water / Town of 1770, Queensland

Yellow Cottage itself is a "home among the gum trees" to relax and get away from it all. Stroll around the property, which has two dams and trees and lawns that are home to a family of kookaburras and many local kangaroos.

Our holiday house, parts of which date back to the early 1900s, has four generous bedrooms, with comfortable beds, a fully-equipped kitchen, large rustic outdoor dining with barbecue - a perfect place to unwind and just relax. Linen, bedding and towels provided. The style is country charm with retro touches and modern comforts. It has polished boards and original windows and other features, 

Families of kangaroos and kookaburras call this acreage home, and the softly rolling style of the property invites you to walk around it. 

All this comes with easy access to shops, boutiques, a hairdresser, beauty treatments, doctor, dentists and, of course, a choice of eateries and the local pub. They are all five minutes' drive away.

Agnes Water beach offers a "Point Break" enjoyed by surfers, and the 1770 Bay provides a calm place to paddleboard, swim, canoe, snorkel or just lay back in the warm sub-tropical water. The fishing is great, too.

This delightful area is packed full of Australian history, because this is where Captain (then Lieutenant) James Cook landed in 1770. Each May, the landing of Captain Cook in 1770 is celebated with a festival. Click on the useful links provided on our 'Explore' page for details.

Plus, you can access the southern area of the Great Barrier Reef through regular boat trips from the 1770 Marina.
