"Karma Waters" Beach House

Maddy Rating, 5 stars1 month ago

My partner and I stayed at Christine and Brad’s place. It was such an amazing location with a beautiful view. Everything was spotless and the bed was comfy! It has a massive bathroom and walk in robe too! The kitchen was excellent to use, and sitting out on the deck with a drink felt so relaxing! The spa was the best, and such a beautiful way to start or end the morning! Will definitely be returning! Thanks again!

Beachfront Beauty - Living the Dream!

DorothyRating, 5 stars1 week ago

This is a fantastic place to chill out with family or friends. There is plenty of room to play together or have time out. The location is ideal with proximity to children’s play areas, the beach as well as takeaway stores. The home is clean and welcoming and easy to live in. Thanks Sara. We will definitely come again

Ball Bay Bliss (Mackay area) Beachfront

JulzRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Absolutely loved my stay at Sue’s Place. It was everything I hoped for and more. If you're craving peace, quiet, and a break from the chaos of everyday life, this is the spot. The home is beautifully styled with thoughtful touches that make it feel warm and inviting the second you walk in. It's clear Sue takes pride in her space. One of the biggest highlights for me was the secure yard. Traveling with my furbabes, and knowing they are safe and happy is always my priority. They had plenty of room to explore while I got to relax without worry. Waking up each morning, grabbing a coffee, and sitting out on the front verandah watching the ocean waves roll in, having ducks visit and listening to the birds, well it was pure magic. You can actually feel your shoulders drop and your mind slow down. The view is stunning and the calm is unmatched. It’s more than just a place to stay it’s an experience. Peaceful, pet-friendly, and picturesque. I’ll definitely be back.

The Wallaby House

Demi-LeeRating, 5 stars4 months ago

This place is stunning both inside and out! It's a massive house with tons of space for all the kids to roam around. There's nothing quite like waking up to a breathtaking beach view every morning all from your bed. The outdoor space is just right for kicking back and taking it easy. Everything in this house is spacious, from the bathrooms to the kitchen and the even bedrooms! Everyone can enjoy their own space while still being together.

Paradise on the water at Dolphin Heads

EmmaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

AMAZING VIEW! The view from the room is incredible. I could walk straight out onto the beach from the room. The room itself was lovely, very clean and comfortable. Jamison was easy to communicate with and had some great suggestions for things to do and places to eat around the area. I would definitely stay there again.

A view from a balcony captures a lagoon pool surrounded by tropical greenery. Palm trees sway gently in the breeze, and glimpses of the ocean are visible in the background, enhancing the outdoor space. The patio furniture offers a place to sit and enjoy the scenery.

Serenity

AnitaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Accommodation was perfect exactly as described. Host was the best we have dealt with, excellent communicator, informative and very responsive. Stayed at 2 accommodations from Dale and can highly recommend them. Accommodation had everything noted and more (included hairdryer). Our expectations are high but I can honestly say Dale and his accommodation gets 10/10 thank you.

South Mackay Unit

AaronRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Elisabeth's unit was exactly what I needed. Being away for a decent period of time, it was great to have a place of my own where I could do what I wanted in my own time and be able to prepare my own food in the kitchen as needed. The place was relatively quiet and private as well, so easy to relax.

Tropical Beachside Paradise

VeronicaRating, 5 stars13 months ago

Barry's home was just beautiful. Absolutely everything you could possibly think you would want was available. The views from the kitchen and dining areas were nothing short of spectacular. And the views from the master bed? You just don't want to get out of bed in the morning. Debbie's (within walking distance) had beautifully fresh seafood and the pub meal we had on the first night was very good. Will definitely make this a regular stopover for our road trips in future. Loved everything about it! Thank you Barry!!

A shaded outdoor seating area features a table surrounded by four chairs, overlooking a grassy yard. In the background, the villa can be seen alongside palm trees, while the beach and water are visible just beyond the grass.
