Beautiful apartment on the Canal
Wow we absolutely love it amazing views and location would love too stay again for longer 😃 also has a super comfy bed

1 Blue Bay View Spectacular Views of the bay
We love the place. Great sunset from the balcony, well-stocked pantry with condiments, etc. Place was clean, well-appointed size. Modern. Tip: the beds are really nice but has different firmness - check before choosing your room! This is the downstairs apartment. Choose upstairs for better view. Direct access with private driveway, too!

Stunning Location Close to Lakeside.
If you're a single traveller or a couple looking for peaceful, affordable accommodation in Mallacoota, Arlene's place is a great choice. We stayed overnight and thoroughly appreciated all that her space had on offer, which included a nice bedroom, living area, small kitchen and bathroom with as nice deep bathtub. Arlene has clearly put a lot of thought into making sure her guests are comfortable and catered for as we found everything we needed and didn't once need to contact her with any questions or issues. While we didn't get to meet Arlene in person, she was a very friendly communicator and provided very clear check-in instructions. All-in-all we enjoyed our short stay immensely and will definitely be returning when we visit Mallacoota next.

Sunday’s Beachside Apartment
Lovely and cosy place. Great location with awesome cafe beside it and beach right across the road.

Modern Designer Apartment with Panoramic Harbour Views
An exceptional place to stay! Great apartment- very kid-friendly with a warm, welcoming feel. The location is super convenient, with a short and easy tram ride to the city. Perfect for families or anyone wanting a relaxed stay close to the action. 🏙️👨👩👧👦🚋

Luxurious 1 Bed Penthouse with Hot Tub
The place was gorgeous, lovely atmosphere however lighting was limited at night time. Easy to find the keys and get inside however took a bit of guessing to find the parking. But overall it was an amazing stay, had everything we needed there and the spa was wonderful. Me and my partner enjoyed our stay.

Luxury Apartment Overlooking City and Darling Harbour
The apartment was clean, comfortable and in an excellent location. We came for a long weekend from Canberra with our kids. It turned out that Vivid was on and you could see some displays from the apartment balcony. John was very helpful, responsive and attentive, great host
Admire Harbour Views from a Hip Potts Point Sanctuary
We had a great stay at Tina's cozy home. It was very clean and in a very convenient neighbourhood, very easy to walk to Circular Quay/Opera House. Lots of cute cafes and restaurants in the area. View of the ocean from the room. Lots of thoughtful inclusions, had everything we needed for our stay. More affordable option in Sydney.

Luxurious Unique, Private Paradise-Kangaroo Manor
Absolutely stunning views, you walk outside the sliding doors that overlooked the pool and it is breathtaking. The house was in very clean condition. I was able to take my children to the stables that’s on the property to feed the horses, donkeys and dogs. The kangaroos came to the front of the property each morning. Honestly a 10/10. Hosts were very helpful too, were super responsive and helped me find a private chef that came out to the property. Thanks again

Oysterhouse: Luxury & privacy at the water's edge
The Oyster House is absolutely amazing. The perfect place to rest and unwind with a spectacular view and peaceful surrounds. The kitchen was well stocked and the home very spacious and comfortable. We loved sitting in front of the fire and soaking up the ambiance. This was our first trip to Tasmania and we have enjoyed every minute. We will definitely be returning to the Oyster House. Thank you Nigel and Denise for sharing your special home 😊

Huon River Hideaway Luxury Huon Valley Tasmania
The bush setting , the water views, the design and fit out are all top notch . Private and tranquil . We appreciated the expresso coffee machine ( and local beans in generous supply ) and other welcoming touches . Everything has been thought of in this immaculately presented house . Loved watching the light change as the sun went down . Thank you Jennifer and team .

The Post Office - Luxury Wilderness Escape
The best air bnb ive ever stayed at, in the most perfect location. The hosts kept the place stocked with essentials. Would recommend this place if you are looking for a place surrounded by nature and close by to Corinna and Cradle mountain.

Billabong Falls
This little peace of heaven was perfect for our family to celebrate my 40th birthday. From the moment we walked in the front gate to see the house amongst the gum trees and then the waterfall from the bedroom. We felt like we stepped into an old fairytale world with our own treehouse. Everywhere we walked felt like little fairy’s were waiting to greet us. The ferns throughout and stepping stones between each area made for the best adventures. The kids loved watching the frogs and tadpoles in the back pool. The natural pool was incredible and soul nourishing. Our first experience with a natural pool and it was breathtaking, especially being able to swim under the waterfalls. Thank you so much Sarah, we hope to return sometime Soon.

Elbert - Crackenback - 2BR
We have just returned from a fantastic 3 night stay. The property is quiet, very cosy, well equipped, nicely furnished and very clean. The owners have clearly put a lot of effort in ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The setting right on the lakeside with fire pit is beautiful with an excellent view of water, bushland and wildlife. We highly recommend this property. Thank you!

Listen to the ocean crash against the shore.
Excellent stay at Ben’s lovely home. Quiet, comfortable and had everything we could have needed and more! Hot tub was fantastic and the fire pit at night was perfect. Would highly recommend staying here and listening to the ocean waves

Cosy cottage in the trees
Loved our stay here, beautiful tranquil surrounds and a wonderfully appointed cabin. Thanks Donna & Jason 😊

Ocean view 1 bedroom apartment
We really loved the location of Sammi's place, super close to shops, beach front and restaurants/cafes. Plenty to do, but also a great spot to relax and watch the waves roll in. Everything was accounted for and we felt right at home as soon as we stepped through the doors. Definitely recommend this gem and will return!

Minka - A Japanese lifestyle inspried design home
Kelvis place was fantastic!! Perfect location, great communication and was made life so easy!! Definitely value for money!

"The View" Waterfront Apartment Shoal Bay
Have had a lovely week at Mark and Leah's apartment in shoal bay. Loved the views and the place was great, everything you needed for a comfortable stay was provided. Shoal Bay itself has a really laid back vibe, with great places to eat right at your doorstep. On our drive home we were already planning on coming back, which speaks volumes on how much we enjoyed our stay.

City Luxury Skyline 2BR2BTH &Hot Tub@WSP Free Tram
Victoria was a great host and always responsive

High floor ocean view & spa @ Legends hotel
The best of the best. Exceptionally clean and well appointed apartment that went above and beyond our expectations. Floor to ceiling views, spacious, extremely comfortable bed, awesome location and appointed with fantastic amenities. The in-room spa was a highlight. Aaron was friendly and easy to communicate with, and made the stay seamless. We won’t be staying anywhere else on the coast for our next trip. Thanks for everything mate. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Mandjar Maisonette
We had a wonderful stay at CJ's Airbnb. The place was very comfortable, cozy, clean, and well-equipped with great facilities that made our stay relaxing and convenient. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a pleasant and hassle-free stay at Mandurah. Thanks CJ!

Waterfront 3BD Condo - 5 min from Airport
We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful waterfront condo. The location is unbeatable—across the road from the Esplanade with stunning ocean views right from the furnished balcony. The condo was clean, spacious, and well-appointed, making it easy to relax and feel at home. The host was incredibly responsive and friendly, ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Cairns!

Eventide - stunning views of city, river and park
Jordan’s place in South Perth is the perfect place for a couple to stay, close to everything. The top floor apartment was very clean and had everything needed for a self-catered stay. There is a lift in addition to the stairs which is very convenient for getting your bags up. Off street parking is also a plus. The waterfront parks are fantastic place to get out and explore with bike and walking paths and a nearby wallaby sanctuary. However, no reviewer could help but mention the view to the city from the lounge and balcony - it’s gorgeous, particularly sharing a drink on the balcony as the sun goes down. A great and recommended place to stay; hope we can come back sometime
