Businesses in Coochiemudlo Island, Redlands QLD

Coochiemudlo Island — known to locals simply as "Coochie" — is the smallest and most accessible of the southern Moreton Bay islands, reached by a short passenger ferry from Victoria Point. Around 800 residents live on the island year-round, and a thriving day-tripper and short-stay tourist community shapes a small but distinctive local business mix.

Hospitality leads the island's commercial offering. A handful of cafes, a tavern, and casual eateries cluster around the ferry landing and the foreshore. Many Coochie venues are seasonal in tempo — quieter midweek, busy on weekends and through the school holidays.

Accommodation is the other significant category. Beach houses, B&Bs, short-stay rentals and a holiday park serve the steady stream of weekenders, families and groups making the short crossing from the mainland. Property management, cleaning and changeover services support the local short-stay economy.

Tradies and service providers on Coochie often operate as island-based generalists — handymen, gardeners, painters, electricians and plumbers who know the practicalities of working in a barge-access environment. Mainland trades regularly take island jobs too, and the directory lists operators willing to travel.

Lifestyle on Coochiemudlo is built around the beach, the ring road, the community hall and the local sailing club. The island is small enough to circumnavigate on foot in an afternoon, and many residents get around by golf buggy. It's a tight-knit community with a long history of local volunteering.
