Stunning 2-Level City Sky Home with Carpark
Kalie is a fantastic host with a fantastic getaway right in the heart of Brisbane! My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed the space, the proximity of the apartment to stores and transport and the communication and cleanliness she provided. Would absolutely stay again and recommend to anyone considering accommodation in Brisbane City. Cheers Kalie!

Location! Brisbane City Centre! Whole Apartment!
Thanks for having me, all positives from my side except for one things. I found the bed to be not very comfortable but other than that great place to stay and the spa was great although not the hottest still did the job.

Stylish apartment with pool in central Brisbane
Enjoyable stay in the Valley. Great views back over the CBD from the balcony. So close to a wide range of restaurants on James St and walkable to the river and city. Car park an added bonus. Fitted the requirements of our stay perfectly.

Woody Point by the Water
Dythea and Travis are amazing hosts and people. They made us feel at home straight away, instructions were clear, house was squeaky clean. Always available and happy to have a little chat or provide anything we needed. We also very much appreciated the food left for us for brekkie! Thank you to both of you!

Thank you for a fantastic stay — we had a great time and hope to return :)

Wanting to relax and unwind
We had a very pleasant stay and especially loved the personal touches including hand written notes of welcome and clear instructions! Provided snacks and simple continental breakfast was also appreciated!

Dreamy apartment with panoramic views and pool
I really enjoyed my stay at Fernanda’s place! Great location for exploring the best areas of Brisbane, and it was very cozy and inviting. I would stay there again!

River Fire Apartment- Best River Views and Carpark
This is one of the best AirBnBs we've ever stayed in. It had everything you could possibly need, a great view, a great layout, a nice building, and a really good location. It may as well be a model for how to run a good AirBnB. The in-unit guide was so extensive and had all of the information you could ever want or need, and the hosts were very responsive and helpful as well. Though the CBD and further up Roma can be a little weird at night, the building is surrounded by police buildings 😅 and is very safe and secure. Honestly the only trouble we had was a roach falling from the AC unit overnight, but it was pretty much DOA and all we had to do was clean it up. I don't blame the host and I thought the unit was fairly clean overall, especially the bathroom. We loved this place and especially loved the shower and the view. We would rebook 100% if we're ever back in Brisbane!
Waterfront house rentals

Island Beach House Country Cabin
The island was great, perfect if you want to get away from it all. The property was spacious and in a great location.

Absolute Waterfront Island Oasis
We had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb and would highly recommend it! The location is unbeatable—right on the water, offering beautiful views and a peaceful atmosphere. Bernice was incredibly communicative, providing clear instructions and helpful guidance to make planning our stay easy. Although the weather wasn’t on our side, the comfortable and well-equipped accommodation allowed us to fully enjoy our time on Russell Island. We’ll definitely be returning on our next visit!

Luxury Water Front, champagne, pool, EV charger
Beautiful house and in a great area. We love staying here for our Brisbane holidays and will be back again. Matt and Jemma are excellent hosts, very helpful and kind. Thankyou :)

Exclusive Seaside House + Pool
Helen’s place was absolutely immaculate, cannot recommend highly enough…absolutely perfect….have already recommended to another adult family that visit there regularly…..

Getaway on Gordon
A wonderful stay. The additional bedroom and bathroom was excellent for us as an extended family. Evie (granddaughter) loved the area for play. So good our son and family could stay and enjoy their own space. Easy to eat together and close enough to go to planned events and activities like Blueys World and the Koala Sanctuary.

River Front, Fisher Retreat with boat ramp access
Thankyou for the stay at short notice. It was just myself and my cat so we enjoyed the peaceful walks along the river in the early mornings. Craig’s place would be perfect for families with children and animals. There is so. much to do along the river, boating, fishing, BBQs, playground, coffee shop and friendly people. I had a quiet time and it was very comfortable and I had everything I needed. Thankyou Craig. Judy

Beach Side Studio
Our first visit to Brisbane, hence our first visit to this property, the host is very friendly and helpful, would have no hesitation to stay at this property again, thank you for all your help. Cheers Sarah & Steve Gray

Bribie Island Beach House with Water Views
This was a great choice for a breakaway. 8 nights and it felt like a weekend. Bribie bustles on the weekends but it was quiet and very peaceful during the week. Everything is either walking distance or a short drive. The house is so cute and homely, filled with everything you need to make the stay feel like your very own holiday home. Comfy beds and lounges. Fully fenced yard was perfect for keeping the doggy’s contained. We will be back for sure. 10/10!
Waterfront condo rentals

Luxe Master room w/ Brisbane River views
Natasha and Tim are the most amazing hosts you can ever have! They were very easy to talk to, easy going, and even trying to find ways to improve their already perfect hospitality! My brother had his 18th whilst there, and they were very accomodating to such the occasion! In terms of location, it was perfect. Transportation was so easy, and walking along the Brisbane river was a great experience! I highly recommend these two amazing hosts, such an amazing family! Thank you for making our stay amazing!!

My Relaxing 2BR Get Away #4
Except for a couple of little things like a leaking shower… everything was excellent. The place, the location and the area.

Comfort Zone From Home 2 Bedroom Unit #3
We were hosted by Randall for the second time and everything was great again. The place matched our expectations and we would stay there when visiting Brisbane next time. Thanks Randall a lot.

Really convenient, comfortable apartment walking distance to lots of great restaurants and the ferry. We loved walking along the river with the dog. Would happily stay again
