The Happy House is located at Happy Valley on the Eastern, surf side beach on K'gari, and to get there a 4wd vehicle is ESSENTIAL.
Happy Valley is almost mid way along the beautiful 75 mile ocean surf beach and we think Kāgari has the best beaches in Qld.
K'gari - is a World Heritage listed National Park and the most beautiful location.
The Happy House is situated near the front of Happy Valley, it is only a 70m stroll down the boardwalk to the 75 mile ocean surf beach.
Its only a 150m stroll on the boardwalk in the opposite direction, back to the local corner shop. The shop sells ice, groceries, takeaway, bait and fuel, souvenirs and barista coffee.
There is also bar / restaurant and an ATM, an Australia Post box and even a public pay phone.
From the house, it is only a 10 min drive North along the beach to lovely Eli Creek and 15 minutes to the famous Maheno ship wreck.
