Coastal Runaway - Studio Apartment, close to beach
We had the most amazing stay at Karen & Antony’s stunning home ! It is absolutely beautiful. Very spacious and ultra clean and tidy, we loved the decor and the most fabulous views WOW ! The bed was very comfy with a great shower and kitchen. Karen & Antony are wonderful hosts, very kind, friendly, helpful and lovely to chat to we wished we could have stayed longer. Set in the perfect location we didn’t have a car and were able to visit Surfers Paradise & Paradise Point by bus very easily and the local supermarket is only 5 minutes walk. We also walked to pretty Labrador to see the fabulous pelicans being fed which is a daily ritual at 1.30 pm. We would not hesitate to recommend this very special home thank you so much for looking after us Sarah & Martin x

La Paloma Guesthouse
A lovely overnight stay to attend a wedding at Tweed. The accommodation had everything we needed. We checked beforehand that there was an iron which turned out to be a steamer so I had great fun watching my partner trying to iron his shirt. An easy stay which was facilitated by Renee and her efficient communication.

Tropical Elanora Hideaway
Comfy property and lovely hosts. Good value, would recommend.

Kosmo’s Studio: City Style in a Retreat Setting!
Kristy was an awesome host who went above and beyond from getting the place ready with a welcome board and gifts including freshly laid eggs and some milk, to giving us a tour of her property, to offering her own facilities and catering to anything we needed. We had a very peaceful weekend and felt very welcomed and comfortable.

Gold Coast/ Burleigh -Short walk to Beach & Cafe's
If you’re thinking about staying here… definitely do! The place was perfect for what me and my partner needed! There was a kitchen with a toaster oven and two stove top burners, the bathroom was great and there was a nice place to sit and eat. The place was super clean and the host was absolutely lovely! The suite shared a wall with the main house but you wouldn’t even know, it was very quiet and peaceful. We had our own washing machine and clothes line which was lovely as we stayed for 2 weeks. There’s transit super close and we walked to the beach, to many popular restaurants, breweries and coffee shops. 10/10 would stay here again it was my best air bnb stay thus far! Thank you for having us!
