Ultimate Tropical Holiday - Turtle Beach Resort

BethanyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Very happy with our stay. Fantastic location with kids. So much to do and Jackson had provided all the items needed for the activities available in the Resort such as golf balls/clubs, basketball, tennis balls/rackets, Nintendo Switch etc. Well equipped for kids with high chair, toddler step, plastic plates etc. It is on the 3rd level, so lots of stairs. But worth it. Beautifully decorated, very comfy beds and stylish fittings. A little oasis. Amazing pools and Resort editions such as a cinema, cafe, water slides… fun! We really enjoyed our stay and are looking forward to rebooking next time.

Burleigh by the Sea

BradRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
Absolutely loved our stay at Helen’s place in Burleigh Heads! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by refreshing sea breezes and sweeping views to die for. The apartment was impeccably clean, with every detail thoughtfully considered. Helen’s beautiful styling created a space that felt luxurious yet homely — a true coastal sanctuary. The balcony quickly became our favourite spot — perfect for soaking in the sun, sipping a morning coffee, and watching the surfers and the passing parade below. We also enjoyed daily walks along the headland, taking in the breathtaking beauty of Burleigh and its surrounds. Helen was a wonderful host — warm, responsive, and respectful of our privacy. If you’re after relaxation, style, and that unbeatable Burleigh vibe, this is the place. Can’t wait to return!

Beachfront Bliss for Two: air-conditioned, parking

LucyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had the most incredible stay at this beautiful Airbnb. The location honestly couldn't be better — right on the water, with breathtaking views and such a peaceful atmosphere, yet still close to everything. Waking up to the sunrise glistening on the water every morning from bed was perfect. The house itself was spotless, spacious, and thoughtfully designed with everything we needed. Plenty of scenic places to relax, eat and drink! Our hosts were absolutely lovely — so warm and welcoming. They made us feel right at home and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect. We couldn’t recommend this place more. If you're looking for a relaxing getaway in an unbeatable location, this is it!

Waterfront house-pool, firepit, jetty, kayaks/SUPs

MitchellRating, 5 stars6 days ago
Matt’s property is amazing! The house is very spacious and has everything you need for an enjoyable and comfortable stay. Being right on the water is delightful, the kayaks and SUPs are great fun. Unfortunately it was too cold for us to try the pool but it looked fantastic. Stayed with our two small children and there was lots to keep them entertained, and everything we needed for an easy stay with toddlers. Thanks again Matt!

Beach House-Bundaleer-Among the trees on the beach

PeterRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We loved going back to Bundaleer! Kitchen is well stocked. Beds are comfortable. Quality fixtures in the bathrooms. The back deck is the highlight! We spent much of our time there overlooking the water. We enjoyed the kayaks--going out on the water each day. Also enjoyed the wine and cheese. Neil was always responsive to any questions we had. Lovely spot. Highly recommended.

Level 12… 180° of Uninterrupted Beachfront Views.

ClaireRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Beautiful unit. Photos don’t do it justice. The view is absolutely spectacular and all the finishes were incredible! The bed was very firm (ok for husband not for me) and very squeaky when rolling over during the night. The balcony and the way it opens up provides a beautiful breeze and the fans are wonderful on those warm nights. Jason was wonderful to deal with and very quick to respond. Wish we didn’t have to leave but will return. We met friends for dinner and drinks and they loved it also and will also come stay here next time!

We really loved the location of Sammi's place, super close to shops, beach front and restaurants/cafes. Plenty to do, but also a great spot to relax and watch the waves roll in. Everything was accounted for and we felt right at home as soon as we stepped through the doors. Definitely recommend this gem and will return!

Stunning Beachfront level48 with parking /L

TenielleRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had a really good 4 night stay. Great location, walking distance to everything. Check in was easy, clear pictures on where to find the keys. Good accom if you have little ones as in the cupboard there were a bucket and shovel, scooters and boogie boards provided. The only downside was there was a smell that lingered around the whole time and no hot water the morning we were checking out so could not shower.
