nice view, great location.

Apartment in Teneriffe
5 out of 5 average rating, 8 reviewsRiverview Woolstore car park 10
Location, location, location! Jonathan's place is perfectly located for both ferry trips on the City Cat and bus trips, making it easy to get around Brisbane for those who want or need to use public transit. Teneriffe itself is beautiful and walkable with great restaurants, coffee shops, brew pubs, and grocers just minutes away from Jonathan's place. The place is comfortable, well kept, and fully appointed to make it your home away from home.

Apartment in Sandstone Point
5 out of 5 average rating, 14 reviewsSandstone Point 2 Bedroom Apartment
Robyn's place had plenty of carparks on arrivals, clear instructions on how to get in and when you got into the room plenty of room and minimal clutter. Bed was very comfy and bathroom and kitchen spotless clean. No outside noise could be heard and views of the water to take in. Only down fall is we didn't have enough time :( and would love to have stayed longer.

Apartment in Brisbane City
4.97 out of 5 average rating, 126 reviewsRiver Fire Apartment- Best River Views and Carpark
Neil and Sharon’s directions for check-in and check-out were very clear. They provided extensive information on all amenities, as well as local recommendations, which were concise and easy to follow. The view is nice, more specifically at night. We had some very small issues with ammenities, being that the air conditioning struggled to cool the entire space and would often stop blowing cool air. Also, the light in the fridge does not work, however all in all we had a lovely stay and are grateful to Neil and Sharon for hosting us.

Waterfront house rentals

Home in Karragarra Island
4.83 out of 5 average rating, 98 reviewsIsland Beach House Country Cabin
Another amazing family break at our favourite place. The birds and trees are so incredible, the house so welcoming. We did lots of fishing with the children and had a really gorgeous day on the beach too. Cannot say enough good things about this beautiful island and the lovely house. Already planning for another booking!

Home in Banksia Beach
4.96 out of 5 average rating, 25 reviewsSpacious Holiday Unit on Canal at Banksia Beach
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Banksia Beach! The property was spotless – easily the cleanest accommodation we have ever stayed in. Everything was well thought out, and the attention to detail made it so welcoming and comfortable. The location was perfect – away from the hustle and bustle but still so convenient, with groceries nearby and just 8 or so minutes to the beach. We also loved fishing off the dock – we had so much fun and caught quite a few fish! Leanne was an amazing host, incredibly helpful and responsive, even going out of her way to assist us when we accidentally locked ourselves out. We can’t recommend this place highly enough and will definitely be back. Thank you for a fantastic stay!

Home in Bellara
4.94 out of 5 average rating, 196 reviewsParadise on the passage
This property is perfectly positioned to attend events at Sandstone Point Hotel. Shops, beaches, cafes & restaurants a short drive/walk away. Comfortably sleeps 6 with 2 spacious bathrooms and a terrific undercover outdoor deck area. Well equipped kitchen & plenty of books & toys for the kids. A lovely touch was the turntable and a terrific array of LP records to choose from. A very spacious & welcoming home away from home. Highly recommend Gillian's property.

Home in Coochiemudlo Island
4.95 out of 5 average rating, 19 reviewsBeachfront Oasis Steps Frm Ferry
This is such a welcoming home to settle into and just relax. The barge ride over allows you time to decompress, even if it is only 10 minutes. You can easily connect with nature and feel the sand between your toes and swim in the ocean. There are so many different areas in the home to sit and read. The kitchen is well equipped and has a wonderful coffee machine. Our 17yo son was very appreciative of the Smart TV as he isn’t much into board games, however there are a selection on offer in the bookshelf 😊 We are so glad we got to experience this lovely home on Coochiemudloo Island.

Private room in West End

We didn’t get to meet Natasha but our communication was very clear. We omitted a couple of requests in our initial booking but Natasha was very helpful in addressing those omissions, for which we were very grateful. Their home was beautiful, very clean and peaceful. Our room was all we expected and made our weekend in Brisbane very pleasant.

Charles place is a very nice and small apartment , near everything. Very very clean. Just across the brisbane river and the ferries. Just four minutes drive to a shopping centre. Very quiet and private. Charles is a very friendly host, would definitely book this place again. I already recommended it to my friends. Oh the kitchen was super clean. We got a free 1.5 litre of cold water in the fridge. I needed that after an 8 hours drive. There was a 1 litre of milk for free in the fridge.
