Coochin LodgeCoochin Lodge Overlooking Pumicestone Passage and Bribie Island is our renovated 100 year old Queenslander located one hour north of Brisbane in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. Coochin Lodge Bed and Breakfast is on the edge of Pumicestone Passage Marine Park and overlooks extensive estuarine flats with abundant birdlife including brolgas, jabirus and migratory birds from as far away as Siberia. Coochin Creek is located in the Sunshine Coast hinterland, one hour north of Brisbane, 20 minutes east of Beerwah and 20 minutes south of Caloundra. Coochin Lodge has three large bedrooms with queen size beds and ensuites and a smaller room with two single beds. There are tea and coffee facilities and TV/DVD in every bedroom. Communal lounge, dining areas are warmed by a fireplace in winter and there are wide verandahs for guests to laze on in summer and enjoy the sea breezes and bird life. Totally screened from the mozzies. Enjoy our 12 metre pool with barbeque facilities or laze under the pool umbrella. Perhaps you might enjoy a quiet paddle on surf skis on the Passage exploring the mangrove islands. Our library will help you identify the birds you see or provide just the pleasure of reading a book.
We try to be as “green” as possible. We have recycled the house – it was a removal house that spent its first 100 years at another location. We recycled timber, windows and French doors from the original house. We have recycled silky oak furniture collected from junk shops. Enjoy home grown vegetables from our vegie patch, fresh eggs from our chickens, honey from our bees and jams from our fruit trees. Our own vegie patch supplies much of our produce and our very happy chickens provide our eggs. We have our own bees for honey and we make our own pure soap. We positioned the house to avoid the hot and windy weather from the west and the south, and to enjoy the winter sun on the north and eastern verandahs. We have a fireplace in winter but in summer the cooling sea breezes give us natural air conditioning. You can explore the Pumicestone Passage on our surf skis and pretend you are Matthew Flinders discovering this area for the very first time. We can show you plants the local aboriginal tribes used as food and native sugarbag honey bees. We can tell you of the history of the area and how it used to be. Maybe you could try your hand at archery. Take a relaxing stroll around our garden identifying our many native plants.
