About Us

Straddie View is a small family business. We own and operate two side-by-side stunning properties (Aqua & Sunset) with STUNNING Water and Brisbane City Views, located on Illawong Crescent Dunwich, North Stradbroke Island, The two houses collectively host up to 23 guests—perfect for family gatherings, retreats, or a relaxing escape with friends.

More about the Owners

Hi, we are Kate and Pip! We’re a happily married couple blessed with two beautiful daughters and a shared love for travel, exploring new cultures, good food, and time in nature.

Straddie has held a special place in our hearts for over 15 years since moving here from Sydney. From the beach to the bush, we love everything this incredible island has to offer—scuba diving in crystal-clear waters, photographing breathtaking sunsets, enjoying local art and design, and unwinding with great food, coffee, and a glass of wine.

Hosting guests is one of our absolute passions. Nothing makes us happier than helping people experience the deep, rich beauty and relaxed vibe of Stradbroke Island. Whether you’re here to soak up the local culture, hike hidden trails, swim, surf, enjoy the sunsets or simply recharge, we want your stay to be effortless and memorable.

🤝 Host Availability & Support

We offer contactless check-in for your convenience, but since we live just 3 minutes away, we’re always nearby if you need anything in person.

📍 Local Tips & Assistance

Before and during your stay, we’re happy to share our insider recommendations—from the best spots for fresh seafood and coffee to secret swimming holes.

You’ll also find a detailed guest info book in the house, filled with:

We respect your privacy and will leave you to enjoy your stay—but if you ever need us, we’re just a message away.
