Services
Macleay Island's Licorice Cottage offers an ambient combination of panoramic bay views and tranquil bush surroundings, allowing you to relax, unwind and revitalise. The first thing you'll notice as you step inside your accommodation is the natural light filtering through the floor-to-ceiling windows, which face out onto the calm waters of beautiful Moreton Bay and nearby Stradbroke Island.
From the welcoming hydrangeas blooming at the front porch, to the basket of ready-chopped wood next to the fireplace, it's the attention to detail that makes Peppermint Cottage so special. You'll love the warm and rustic vibe of this quaint timber cottage from the first moment you step inside, taking in the original hardwood floorboards, stunning open-plan living space and homely French provincial interior design.
Our popular island holiday homes, both Peppermint and Licorice Cottage, are located on Macleay Island, a relaxed and peaceful island in Queensland's Moreton Bay. Macleay Island offers the perfect combination of tranquility, relaxation and natural beauty in the midst of sparkling bay waters, native Australian bushland and vibrant ocean sunsets.
Peppermint Cottage - what can I say! The love, care and thoughtfulness that has gone into its making is evident from the moment you walk through the front door. You are transported to another era - an era of a life that is less complicated. A great place to nourish the soul! We have really enjoyed our stay at Licorice Cottage - it's a lovely place to be.

A couple of days in Licorice Cottage is enough to rejuvenate your soul. Where it’s sometimes a difficult feat to find a place that accommodates two rather large fur babies, Licorice Cottage welcomes them with open arms.
The fully fenced garden provided the perfect location for a little outdoor time for the pup dogs and humans.
The deck that offers beautiful water views, was the perfect location to enjoy both a morning coffee & the spoils of a glass of bubbly.
This is a very well appointed and clean property, far away from the crowds and bustle of normal life. You have no choice here but to

My partner and I, and our two 12yr old deaf mini foxies, had the very best stay at Licorice Cottage. It is absolutely divine in every way and is the perfect getaway for any time of year. The yard is fully and securely fenced, and there are plenty of interesting areas on the island to explore on foot. There is a wonderful book inside the cottage that details lovely drives and things of interest to see on the island, so we took a photo of the pages on our phones, and set out to discover everything! We were so grateful for these tips and it really made our stay. In fact, Licorice Cottage has lots

An absolutely amazing find. EVERYTHING at Licorice Cottage was perfect. The views, the deck, the bed, linen, spa etc. We were also impressed by the attention to detail and thoughtful extras. (binoculars, board games, books, mozzie coils and even a bottle of sparkling and licorice on arrival!) The home is spotlessly clean and best of all, your 4 legged fur baby can enjoy it all with you, in a truly pet friendly home. We never tired of the stunning view and we are already planning our return. Thank you so much Sandra and Craig for your generous hospitality.
