Great family getaway

Black Pelican is a very well appointed house for Kooringal, with great internet, TV, dishwasher etc and has partial water views.The house is neat and tidy, and the host was very responsive to any small issue that arose. Would recommend it if looking for a house in Kooringal.Kooringal itself is quiet, even during school holidays, which was a pleasant surprise.

We loved the Black Pelican and Moreton Island.

The house was terrific, it all that we could have asked for and more. Loved the open plan living space and the proximity to the water and the Gutter Bar made for a fantastic Easter stay.

Kooringal Moreton Island

We had a great week on Moreton and this house was perfect for our family of 6. Loved the kitchen space flowing out to the deck. Having never stayed at Kooringal before we had to watch the tides a bit more than other stays on the island to plan our activities. Bed linen is provided but no towels so make sure you pack 2 per person.

Moreton magic

Great open verandah and deck area is perfect. House is very well catered for and the large garden is lovely to have to set up lunch or kids play cricket. The outdoor shower just makes your stay.
