All I could sayw as WOW! what a great house we have just bought…

Bethsaida

I had never been inside a Queenslander before and were staying with friends up at the dam when we went to the house we bought to borrow a cake tin from the previous owner. As soon as I walked inside I thought ‘retreats’ and on my return to our friends cottage, the street below, said to Greg that he must come and have a look at the house. We did that the morning after and Greg had similar reactions to me, but was thinking about Special Needs groups as he is a special needs teacher at the local special school near to where we live.

We decided to return to Brisbane and over the next week think of any reasons NOT to buy the house and neither of us could come up with anything significant that would prevent us from buying it. People were also telling us how good the house was, we would be mad to pass up an opportunity such as this, and that it was one of the biggest houses in the dam, so had more versatility around it.

We put the offer on the house which was accepted and over the last few months have been buying furniture to put into the house. We have utilized the maximum sleeping arrangements so that larger groups can stay at the house with 6 single bunk beds, totaling 12 beds, and 2 Queen sized beds

We have had a number of enquiries, from family groups to jet ski and fishing groups, so once live, and online, it will be prudent to book quickly because we are expecting people to be booking soon.

We have two air conditioners, both situated in the two smaller bedrooms. There is plenty of room to lounge around and veg out if that takes your fancy. Modern cooking facilities are available with an electric oven and hot plates as well as a Wood range for use during the winter months if that takes your fancy. The wood heater in the lounge also works and we tried it out before the warmer months came upon us.

We have just been up at the dam for the last few days and were surprised at the amount of people that were there. We are going to get pre-paid Internet as well as our broadband account we have, so that we can access the website up at the dam and accept bookings when we are staying up there.

If you wish to book the house, please ring 07 3351 6236 and if there is no answer please ring 07 5426 0090. Please leave a message on both phones to register your interest and we will endeavor to get back to you as soon as we can.

We hope that you enjoy this site and we will post photo’s and announcements of activities happening in and around the dam as we become aware of them. Greg and Janine.
