The Hidden Gem Broadbeach with private rooftop spa

SallyRating, 5 stars4 months ago
Maria’s place is a hidden gem. It was comfy clean and had lots of options including a lovely shared swimming pool downstairs but we loved the rooftop balcony where we could have a bbq and a spa. It was close to restaurants and the beach. We had an issue with an appliance and Maria and Mario fixed it straight away. Lovely venue and lovely hosts. No need to look further.

Absolute Beach front Home

CaitlinRating, 5 stars1 month ago
A beautiful home in a quiet neighborhood. The house was immaculate and exceeded expectations in terms of beauty and amenities. Jim was the most responsive host we’ve had during any Airbnb stay. He went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and the house was in good condition after the cyclone. He was truly fantastic. Because of the cyclone, the private path to the beach was unusable but 200m down the road (Wareham St) was another entrance to the beach which was accessible for my elderly father. The beach is not patrolled this time of year but has shade and was still beautiful despite the erosion/accessibility issues. There was a playground next to the property which worked well for our 2.5 year old (with supervision). A 10 minute walk up the road was a great bakery/coffee, a small grocery store and a great Indian restaurant among other shops. Easy 10-15 minute drive into Byron which has a woolies and is patrolled. Highly recommend.

A well presented spot within walking distance to everything needed. Had a lovely space to accommodated our dog, with a nice safe closed in space for her to be outside when needed.

Bangalow B & B Dog friendly

JoanneRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Pip and her husband were very friendly and met us on arrival, offered to help us with our luggage to the self contained beautiful, private accommodation at the rear of their property. All the little extras made such a difference, fresh sourdough, jam, butter, ground coffee and plunger, bowl of fruit and cookies, such hospitable hosts. Nothing was too much trouble and Pip and her husband were happy to give us local recommendations for the area and nearby places of interest. Such a beautiful garden and our dogs will be sad to leave, they have made themselves at home ! Thank you for a lovely stay and we hope to be back another time when the weather is kinder and would not hesitate to recommend your beautiful accommodation to others. Best wishes, Jo and Vic 🙏

Gold Coast Hinterland Retreat

My family & I stayed at Gold Coast Hinterland Retreat to attend a family wedding. The house was perfect for a large number, we had plenty of room both inside & out, at no time did we feel cramped or in each others way. I have no hesitation in recommending Michelle’s property if you’re planning a Gold Coast get away with a larger group. The description & photos accurately describe the property.
