Rental unit in Newtown
4.99 out of 5 average rating, 354 reviewsCockatoo View
We had an amazing stay at Cockatoo View. This place was filled with beautiful touches which made our stay nice and relaxing. Much like others have stated, the photos don't do this place justice. Really well kept and stunning space that had a great amount of room. Would definitely recommend the stay!

Our stay at this property could not have been better. Perfect location opposite magnificent beaches, cafes, restaurant and take aways. The property was well equipped with all that you require for a comfortable stay. Parking not a problem. One short flight of stairs to the apartment. Our host Chris was prompt to assist and provide whatever information we required. A truly memorable and pleasurable stay. Thank you Chris for taking such excellent care of us. Much Appreciated Anna

What a lovely place to stay. Large accommodation with everything supplied that you could possibly need for a break away. It really is right by the beach and was wonderful going to sleep with the sound of the Ocean at your window.
Rental unit in Port Macquarie
4.92 out of 5 average rating, 231 reviews42StepsOceanView right across FlynnsBeach WiFi=NBN
We had a great time at 42 Steps. It's a beautiful location and Nicole seems to have thought of everything to make it a comfortable and enjoyable stay for her guests. We enjoyed the small touches like the complimentary snacks and breakfast foods and a range of tea/coffee options. The rooms were clean and comfortable and we felt right at home.
Rental unit in Coolum Beach
4.98 out of 5 average rating, 128 reviewsCoolum Beachfront Studio
A thoughtfully appointed studio. The generous proportions make it seem much more than a studio however. Appreciated the dual access toilet and the fact it is separated from the bathroom by the laundry space. My favourite things were watching the waves break while laying in bed, the top-of-the-range coffee machine and feeling a fresh sea breeze from the dining table as I cleared a few work emails each afternoon.
Rental unit in Port Lincoln
4.98 out of 5 average rating, 146 reviewsPeaceful Stay w/private Garden+Sneaky Seaviews!
One of the best airbnbs - a stylish space to relax and enjoy, the garden made us feel we were transported somewhere else. Everything was provided, the kitchen fully equipped to make cooking a breeze. We also loved being able to pick fresh oranges, lemons , herbs from their garden and a bonus of collecting fresh eggs! Teresa and Nigel were great hosts providing local knowledge, great tips and chat. Mini the dog a source of amusement. We would love to stay here again if ever back in Port Lincoln. Thanks!

Staying at Billabong was wonderful; itâs truly a dream house. We stayed for three nights and spent a lot of time relaxing on the deck, reading, and talking. Our two boys had fun finding tadpoles in the pool. The outdoor hot shower was awesome, and the house was very clean. Itâs definitely a great place to stay!

Home in Sunshine Bay
5 out of 5 average rating, 284 reviewstheCOVE North-Absolute Beachfront Couple's Escape
What a special place Paulâs house is. Not only is it in a stunning location but it is impeccably kept and every possible thing is thought of. You can be active, thereâs plenty to do up and down the coast or just sit with the natural rhythm of the ocean and the tides. This is my second visit and hopefully not the last. Thank you Paul.

Condo in West End
4.97 out of 5 average rating, 101 reviewsAbsolute luxury riverside living in inner Brisbane
Just spent a month in this beautiful place by the river and was very sad to leave. The apartment is amazing and Deborah is a very gracious and accommodating host. Very convenient location, easy bus ride into the CBD and made good use of the Ferry Terminal too as an alternative way to travel. Easy walk to the Montague Centre to Woolworths and the various shops and eateries. Mostly got coffee from across the road as so close and such good coffee served by lovely people. Made full use of the pool while I was there and loved my early morning swims when I had the pool mostly to myself. Easy walk along the river on Saturday mornings to the West End market and West End Village only a short bus ride away. Deborah also has a very well stocked kitchen with pretty much anything you would need unlike some who only leave the very bare minimum - so really feels like being at home. Thank you Deborah...
