Wonderful
This property is tranquil and is very comfortable and well presented. The owners are very helpful and accessible and the rooms are thoughtfully decorated and arranged. A great place to unwind. Breakfast provided was.eggs, yoghurt, blueberries and croissants - really very lovely. The driveway is avoidable with on street parking available. No trouble at all accessing the property. Highly recommend.

Fantastic holiday venue
The property is in a beautiful peaceful rural setting, with lots of melodious bird calls, a 20 minute drive to the Gold Coast beaches and a 25 minute drive to the Gold Coast Farmhouse, where we attended our son's wedding (fabulous location for a wedding). Well appointed self contained unit, very comfortable beds with all you could ask for, well stocked fridge and pantry and fruit bowl for ample tasty breakfasts. Host Shayne very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this place for value for money.

Lovely Getaway with Friends.
Had the best stay with friends at this property but i didn’t realise it was underneath the owners home, however this was no problem for use as we still had a wonderful time. Huge backyard off the mountain with an amazing view. Just be aware that the fridge is rather small so you may have to bring an esky. The apartment is really well decorated and the space is used really well.

not safe for my wife and not dog friendly
Although I told the owner that my wife was waiting for back surgery, it was only when it was too late to cancel that I was told that the property was on a very steep block. The only facility for our dog was on to a very high patio with no area to relive her self. We left after one of the 5 nights that we paid for.

I’m sorry that the apartment wasn’t suitable however I told you about the stairs and driveway within the cancellation period and also offered you a refund when you left. We are on 11/2 acres with a flat area outside the apartment suitable for dogs.

Amazing stay/ beautiful location and quiet
We had the most amazing stay at this property. It was in a beautiful location, it was quiet and comfortable. We were able to bring our little sausage dog which was the best because we can’t leave him at home alone. It had a beautiful backyard which had an amazing view, we took our dog out there and sat in the yard so he could play. It was quiet away from the noise of cars and highways, but still close enough to the shops and beaches which we spent a lot of time at. We were close to bond university which is why we were there to see my son graduate. It was close to everything and amazing food close by too. You do need a car to get to the beach it’s not walking distance but it’s not far at all, 15-20 mins drive. We will stay at this location every time we are up on the Gold Coast, when it’s available because we loved it that much. It felt like home with beautiful furniture, comfortable beds, everything we needed. They also provided heaps of breakfast options, eggs, orange juice, strawberries, pikelets, bagels, croissants, waffles, syrup, it was divine. My kids really enjoyed the food. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash and soap, I’ve never stayed in a place that provided these in big bottles to use what you need and leave the rest for the next person. I give this place a 10/10. Thank you so much for our beautiful stay.

Beautiful tranquil apartment
A beautiful apartment that can not be faulted. From the small things like milk, juice, eggs and fresh fruits. To the bathroom toiletries including moisturisers. The bedding was lovely to sleep under not to mention the beds are very comfortable. If you love tropical gardens, birds and wildlife this is the apartment for you. Did I mention the cleanliness well you guessed I couldn’t fault it. To the hosts both very lovely and very approachable. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again or recommend this tranquil beautiful apartment.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Relaxing and great value
We all had a relaxing couple of nights at this beautiful house. The location was out of the hustle and bustle but a short drive to sights and conveniences. The apartment was clean and cool with beautiful views of the garden. The hosts also provided some very thoughtful inclusions (grateful for the yummy breakfast items!). Thanks to the hosts for a lovely stay :)

Quite peaceful little gem, to relax and enjoy a beautiful view from both rooms, sitting room, even from the bathroom window. Relax on the patio or in the garden and enjoy nature. Plus point is that your pet is allowed. Near Coles and Robina shopping mall. Shayne is a friendly host and it was easy to access the property. We will definitely book this place again

A nice quiet location to have a relaxing getaway. Awaken to birds chirping in the morning with the odd Wallaby and Rabbit in the back yard. But close enough to all the attractions and a trip to the beach. On arrival a nice hamper to save running to the shops. Very accommodating hosts.
