Kirsti King and her husband moved to a sleepy beachside town where property prices have soared by more than 80 per cent in four years, but an analyst says it's still "extraordinarily cheap" compared to capital city property prices.

Five hours north of Brisbane, nestled between cane fields and the ocean, is Moore Park Beach in the Bundaberg region. Ms King, 28, and her husband are among the area's newest residents after moving last year for a lifestyle change. They swapped their mortgage in Brisbane for an "oasis" with a backyard full of kookaburras and private beach access. "We found this beautiful little town at Moore Park Beach, which is only about 20 minutes out of Bundaberg, and we found this beautiful home," she said.
