Excellent stay
The house was in a lovely quiet area close to shops, restaurants and beaches. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could possibly need. Easy checkin process and a very obliging owner. Everyone loved the pool and had lots of fun. I highly recommend this property as a great holiday rental.

Great for family
Host gave us very clear and easy directions on how to find the house. Layout really suited the family and the pool alone was a massive winner on the hot days. Views and breezes from the outdoor patio was excellent. Highly recommend.

Fab house and pool
Maggie has a lovely home, you will want for nothing. A short walk to a park, a coffee shop and close to the beach ( long walk ) The property is on a hill, so the views are amazing. Only downside is the steep hill. 4 takeaways within 5 minutes walk and the coffee shop does cakes and some lunch items. it is a grewt base for a family holiday. The hiuse is huge, and there are 2 full bathrooms, so even with lots of people there are plenty of facilities.

Great location and pool
It was very easy to get to all of the parks, outlet shopping malls and the seafront. Local restaurants are great. Minimal outside noise. The large pool really made our stay. The house was a bit smaller than we expected. There is a great queen bedroom with walk-in robe, and two much smaller rooms (1 dbl bed, 1 with 2 singles), and all 3 bedrooms share 1 bathroom/toilet on the main level. The 2nd shower/toilet is downstairs off a strange room that must be bedroom 4 but didn’t have a bed set up. Still, if it’d just been parents/kids then we wouldn’t have even gone down there. I was also a bit meh about the living area as the lovely big windows have very imposing diamond security screens that made it feel very enclosed but I’m a bit claustrophobic so maybe it was just me. Lovely veranda with outside seating. The gardens are immaculate. The kitchen really has everything you could possibly need. I think the gutters might need a clean out, or the aircon is on the roof. There was a constant drip of water from the gutter onto the front veranda. Someone before us had moved a pot plant under but it didn’t stop it. But I didn’t mention it to the owner so I can’t really moan. It’s also quite a noisy house to walk around but that may only be because I have a 6yo with the grace of an elephant. Still it should be said that the house was cheaper than a lot of comparable properties, nothing was a deal-breaker and we had a really good holiday.

Hi Eve Thank you very much for your kind review, we are pleased that you and your family enjoyed your stay at our holiday home. Our swimming pool and back terrace area is always a winner with our guests! I would like to take this opportunity to clarify a few issues in response to some of your comments about our home. I think perhaps you may be a little confused about the size of the beds. The master bedroom has a standard Australian King size bed (L203cm x W183cm) and the 2nd bedroom has a standard Queen bed (L203cm x W153cm). There are no double beds in our home. The downstairs beds in the large study room are not made up if they are not required by the current guests. We have wooden floorboards throughout our home, so if you live in a fully carpeted home, then yes I agree that you would find it a little noisier, especially as you point out, with young children running around the house! The front gutter has a spitter in it…this is a specially designed overflow pipe built into the gutter and a common solution to cope with the overflow of water from the gutters during very heavy rainfall. We have of course seen some exceptionally heavy downpours in recent months and I do apologise if the noise of dripping water was annoying to you. You were very lucky to secure such reasonable rental rates for our home! This was because you booked many months in advance and before I had time to review and adjust our rate structure for the year ahead! We do however feel that our home offers good value for money at all times, especially when compared with similar homes along the coast of comparable standard and amenities. Thank you again Eve for your posting your comments and sharing your feelings about your recent stay with us…we do appreciate this and hope that we may look forward to providing our services to you again sometime in the future. Kind regards Maggie (owner).

The property was amazing. The kids would not stay out of the pool. They would be in there at 7 am till 6 pm. It was a good location for us cause we away from all the chaos in surface and Broadway beach. I would recommend it to any family with children, the host was amazing.

Quite location close to main attractions
Maggie’s place is in a quite part of Labrador, with a number of great cafes and restaurants nearby. The house is spacious and well equipped. The main attraction is surely the large verandah with great view of the gold coast skyline and the large pool . It’s only a short drive to Sea World and main beach.

A Generous Sized Gold Coast Gem
We had a fabulous stay. Communication with the Owner was spot on. We felt comfortable we knew everything we needed to and check in was easy. This was our first time staying on holidays with our two small dogs. We were a little nervous about how this might go, but this house is really well suited for small dogs and our pups had a terrific holiday too! The home is very comfortable, big and close to everything the Coast has to offer. We will definitely be back. Thanks Maggie :)

Everything you need for Christmas
The highlight after every day was coming back to this place for down time, a swim, cool evening breezes and a wonderful view of city lights while having a beverage on the patio. We stayed here from 24th Dec to 31 Dec, myself, husband, 3 teens and 2 dogs. Not knowing what to expect and not wanting to risk being under prepared especially for Christmas day, we packed a few extra cooking utensils and serving bowls and took it down. We didnt have to do that because the house had everything! Every bowl, pot, serving spoons and dish, right down to christmas themed place mats. All were put to great use on Christmas day and the entire week we were there. A separate laundry with all the usual creature comforts e.g. Iron, baskets, pegs and extra hangars. Even a spare dog bed and bowls were avail. The house was so spacious with the right amount of furniture scattered around the place. Parking for 2-3 cars comfortably on the driveway. Secure key lock. Fast internet. Quiet suburb yet so close to every place easily within 10min drive. Plentiful takeouts around that offers uber eats. Awesome, right softness and comfortable king, double and single beds in all rooms. A wonderful home that caters for all your needs and your family. Which if you're like us, you make it feel as if its your own and treat it with care and respect. Only one suggestion, a fly screen door on the kitchen patio door to prevent flies and mozzies as we basically kept the door open the whole time we were home. Plus, it gets the best breeze through here when you are cooking. Thank you Maggie, your quick communication and early check in made it that much more memorable. We hope to get another opportunity to come back in future. Happy new year. Chrissie and Ty.

Lovely home with everything you could need
Maggie’s property is just lovely my family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and waking up to the lovely pool, backyard and views from the deck and balcony made our stay that much more special. Maggie helpfully left instructions around the house and has a noticeboard full of local recommendations. Location was close to all the sights and Check in was super simple. Would definitely recommend for family groups

Paradise Garden
The photos don’t do justice to the garden and aspect of this charming older home. Sunrise and sunset are equally beautiful from the table on the terrace, and the pool is amazing for those warm days or nights. There are views down to the waterway and over the neighbourhood. The location is great, away from the hustle and bustle but a very short drive to anywhere. Maggie was a very attentive host an we felt we could always get the information we needed. We thoroughly enjoyed this property.
