You know those places you flick past in a travel magazine and think, yeah right, maybe one day? Well, this is one of those, except it’s real and you don’t need a passport to get there.
Tucked away beside the calm waters of Moreton Bay, the Overwater Villas at BIG4 Sandstone Point Holiday Resort are what happens when someone takes a luxury island vibe and drops it just an hour from Brisbane. These beauties sit right over a natural lagoon with fish swimming below, a plunge pool, fountains cascading down rocks, a sand beach area and a jetty to dive into the water.
Inside, you’re talking three bedrooms, a crackling fireplace for those cool nights and enough space for the whole crew without stepping on each other’s toes. Step outside and you’ve got your own deck hovering over the water, ready for morning coffees, afternoon lazing or a sneaky sunset wine while the kids cannonball into the lagoon.
It’s not quite camping, not quite a five-star hotel but comfortably somewhere in between. Nature at your doorstep, a comfy bed waiting when you’re done and that feeling you’ve escaped without having to deal with baggage carousels and jet lag.
