We bid you a warm welcome to Eliza Fraser’s Cottage. Here is your opportunity to own one of Fraser Coast’s grand Queenslanders with an amazing story and history!

Elders is proud to present Eliza’s to the sale market for the first time in many decades.

In the 1920′s this beauty was a holiday home in Torquay in Hervey Bay on the Esplanade. It was called “The Hove” and in those days it was used as a holiday beach destination for prominent Maryborough families.

Then in the 1940′s the property was used as a Rest and Recreation Centre for the British Fleet, which has its headquarters in Maryborough (legend has it that Prince Philip once stayed here during the war).

In the 1980′s the current owners bought the house and shifted it to Elizabeth Street across from the Botanical Gardens in Hervey Bay. They named her “Eliza Fraser’s Cottage” and it became a museum for Eliza Fraser and Fraser Island. The popular home then morphed into a place that held wedding receptions (many a bride and groom have had their wedding photos taken on the steps of the verandah).

Next Eliza’s became one of the most popular entertainment destinations in Hervey Bay as Eliza’s Musical Hall from 1988-2003, which used to seat up to 100–at 6:15pm you were served a delicious three course dinner and then cabaret/variety show started at 8:00pm like clockwork. There are so many residents of the Fraser Coast area which have such fond memories of spending time at Eliza’s (as well as countless international visitors).

In 2003-2007 Eliza’s then became a popular bed and breakfast. Finally she was moved onto her current location in beautiful and serene Burrum Heads, where she returned back into a much loved family home.

Here are just some of the features which Eliza’s offers:

* Spectacular Queenslander with stunning street presence
* Traditional wrap around verandah
* Charming original Eliza’s signage proudly displayed at front
* Lattice doors, French doors with leadlight
* Crystal chandeliers in main rooms
* Grand formal lounge and dining room with vaulted ceilings (this room is huge)
* Beautiful, spacious commercial kitchen which every home cook will love
* Another sprawling lounge/family room
* Separate study area
* Five bedrooms (two with ensuites)
* Three bathrooms in total
* Internal Laundry
* Two car garage/shed
* Huge commercial grade 9×7 shed fully lined and insulated
* Beautiful gardens in a lush sub-tropical setting
* Just shy of an acre
* Air-conditioned
* Ceiling fans
* Solar panels
* Rainwater tank
* And so much more…

This beautiful, spacious home would work well as a dual occupancy dwelling. It can easily be converted into a dual occupancy property with only minimal renovation to achieve this. You could live in one side and rent out the other side–either permanently or as a holiday let (Burrum Heads is one of the most popular holiday let areas on the Fraser Coast). Just ask Gwen and she will be happy to explain how it would work. And don’t forget about the commercial grade shed. All of this adds up to great earning potential!

It is also an ideal home for multi or extended families. If you were to convert the property into dual occupancy, you would still have ample room in both sides for everyone to reside comfortably with plenty of privacy for all.

Don’t miss your opportunity to own this unique treasure. This home has been filled with love and laughter for so many years…and you can feel it the moment you walk in through the front door! Call Gwen Nugent now to arrange your personal inspection.
