Sunset Waters
We had such a lovely stay right by the bay. Waking up to those stunning water views was a dream! The place was spotless, the kitchen was really well stocked, and everything felt super cozy and comfortable. Perfect spot for a relaxing getaway—couldn’t have asked for a better location.

Lobster Pot Cabin - Waterfront Escape Freycinet
My partner and I had such a wonderful stay at the cabin. The place was peaceful, cosy and surrounded by absolutely stunning natural beauty. Perfect for unwinding and disconnecting. The cabin had a warm, welcoming feel that made it easy to relax right away. Our host, Heidi was friendly and communicative, making everything smooth start to finish. Would definitely recommend anyone to stay here for a serene getaway!

Karoola
Helen was kind-hearted, receptive, prompt and extremely generous with her service and ensuring that we had the most correct and updated information. There was such attention to detail in the home which made the stay that extra step personal and warm. Helen’s home at a certain charm and character which again, made our stay delightful. The location was absolutely stunning and were walking distance to the essentials. Our group wanted to thank Helen again for allowing us to stay in their beautiful home for the weekend.

"Eau de Vie" Canal front home with private jetty
Our second stay here. Loved it. Excellent location. Clean, well maintained. Will definitely be back.

The Waterfront - 4-bedroom waterfront home + pool
We had a brilliant few days at this stunning property in Noosa Waters. Clean and tastefully decorated it was spacious and comfortable. The pool and outdoor area were also a bonus. The location is absolutely perfect - a short stroll to the river and all the cafes, shops and restaurants it boosts and so close to an amazing organic food shop with delicious smoothies and salads. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend.

Waterfront home with private jetty
We enjoyed the house and area for an extended family trip. Lots of room and activities at the house. Kids loved the painting spot, and the short walk to fish off the jetty. Some nice foreshore walks, with a well formed track to Verona Sands. Thanks

Thank you Shannon and Stefani for allowing us to stay in your beautiful paradise! Had everything we need for a large group and we had a spectacular sunset. Spent most of our time out on the beautiful deck overlooking the water! Shannon and Stefani also accommodated us for early check in which was very appreciated. Highly recommend!

Stunning Beachfront level48 with parking /L

"The View" Waterfront Apartment Shoal Bay
Thanks so much Mark & Leah for a wonderful stay. The view from this appartment is just stunning and the appartment itself was spacious, spotless and so comfortable for our stay.

Ideally located Waterfront Apartment
We had an amazing stay at this beautiful apartment right in the heart of the Darwin Waterfront. The location is absolutely unbeatable — just steps away from fantastic restaurants, cafes, and the refreshing lagoon. Waking up to stunning water views each morning was a highlight of our trip! The apartment itself was spotless, stylish, and fully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was well-stocked, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and the balcony was the perfect spot to unwind with a drink and soak in the vibrant atmosphere. Communication with the host was seamless, with clear instructions and quick responses to any queries. The added touches — like local recommendations and thoughtful amenities — made us feel right at home. If you're visiting Darwin, staying at this waterfront gem is a must. It’s the perfect mix of luxury, convenience, and a true taste of the Darwin lifestyle. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again!

Sunset Beachside Apartment
Samantha’s place is a relaxing retreat with everything you can possibly need for a beach holiday. It has a homey feel with comfortable beds, a good shower and kitchen amenities. The location is perfect- super close to the beach and Tods cafe.
Absolute Harbourfront Apartment with Fabulous Panoramic Views
Harbour View is an outstanding property and we had a lovely stay there. Great location with stunning views across the harbour. A pleasant walk to Mosman bay Wharf where you can get a ferry to Circular Quays where there are many restaurants, the opera house and trams to other paces in Sydney. There is a closer Ferry Wharf at South Mosman, but that was closed for refurbishment while we were there. The apartment was clean, tidy and very comfortable. Fiona, the host, was really helpful. There were a generous selection of goodies when we arrived, including a bottle of Prosecco, which was very welcome after a long journey. One issue to be aware of though is that the parking spot is on level 1 and to reach it you need to go down a spiral road via the car park on level 2. There is limited height in the space provided with the apartment, so would recommend a small to medium sized car. The walk to the wharf is hilly so might not be ideal for everyone but you can use Uber if you prefer.
