Living in Donnybrook: Rural Coastal, Genuine Character

28 May 2026ยท Beverley Gibbons

On the Pumicestone Passage opposite Bribie Island, Donnybrook is a quiet rural-coastal community with acreage blocks, a boat ramp, a general store, and some of the most affordable water-adjacent blocks in South East Queensland. Views of the Glasshouse Mountains complete the picture.

Donnybrook sits on the Pumicestone Passage looking across the water to Bribie Island and the Glasshouse Mountains. The view โ€” Beerwah, Tibrogargan, and the other peaks of the range โ€” is one of the most spectacular backdrops of any coastal community in the region.

Acreage blocks, a boat ramp, a general store โ€” that's about the extent of it. Donnybrook State School is one of Queensland's smallest. The Bribie Island bridge is 10 minutes north. For buyers who want a rural-coastal lifestyle with water views and genuine character at the most accessible prices on the coast, Donnybrook is a genuine find.

Who Should Buy Here?

Donnybrook is for buyers who want the Glasshouse Mountains as their backdrop and the Pumicestone Passage as their front yard โ€” rural coastal living at its most authentic.
