Wow what a beautiful home Matt has!! The house looked better than the photos!! Booked for eight days for me, my husband and our five children beds were comfy, had the best sleeps and fell in love with the place. It felt like home, peaceful and clean. From start to finish Matt was very responsive and helpful. House had everything we needed and more. Children enjoyed the pool and kayaking. Loved the view and how spacious the house was. Thank you Matt for being an amazing host would highly recommend Matt’s place to anyone wanting to stay in the Gold Coast. We will be back for sure to stay because Matt is cool and the house is beautiful!!

Gold Coast Studio unit with swimming pool.

SofiaRating, 5 stars4 days ago
Not only was Nataliya a great host, but the room was also fantastic! As a young traveler leaving home for a year, this was an ideal place to stay. The room was equipped with everything you need, plus a convenient shopping center less than a 10-minute walk away. She was kind enough to give me some homegrown bananas that were delicious as well! She had tons of helpful recommendations for local restaurants, shopping areas, beaches, etc. Overall the stay was clean, homey, safe, quiet, and overall perfect. I would most certainly stay here again!

A wonderful, clean, spacious unit! Watching the creek and birdlife from the balcony was a highlight for us, especially as it rained a lot. Be aware there is a local triathlon event at this time of the year (beginning December) with road closures which requires getting cars out of the complex the night before .

Cabarita Beach House

NarelleRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Our stay was perfect. The home, the location and Danielle’s communication and lovely gifts were a beautiful touch. From the moment we arrived we felt like we had so much privacy. The home is designed in a way that once you enter you leave the world behind. We laughed, we played board games which Danielle has a cupboard full. We swam in the beautiful pool and cooked amazing family meals in the industrial kitchen. We walked into town and the beautiful beach. Everything was so close. We loved our stay over Christmas and made some beautiful memories thanks to Danielle. The home is certainly one where you can unplug and relax with your loved ones. We would definitely go back again.

Carmels house was an ideal family holiday home. So many things to do; kayaks and surf boards provided, pool toys and the table tennis tournaments were hectic!! So many comfortable spots to relax, enough room to get away from each other if needed. Shops, beach, cafes in walking distance. A great house in a beautiful part of NSW.

Summer Escape Modern 4 Bedroom Waterfront Home

HelenRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had a lovely stay at this beautiful home over Christmas. The house is spacious, well-maintained, and has a gorgeous outdoor area that we really enjoyed. The location is peaceful, and the house itself is stylish and comfortable. While there were a couple of minor issues during our stay, which we brought to the owner’s attention, we understand that these couldn't be addressed immediately due to the holiday timing. The owner was very friendly, professional, and responsive, making sure to communicate openly with us throughout. One thing to note is that the living room doesn't have a TV, which was a bit surprising, but we still had a great time making the most of the space. Overall, we had a wonderful experience, and we would definitely consider staying here again in the future!
