Family-friendly vacation rentals in Darling Downs

Annette is The Best host you can ask for. Very responsive, proactive and really good-hearted. She took the extra effort to inform me of potential road closures on my road trip due to flood. Not only that, upon hearing that my flight timing from Singapore was advanced by few hours, without any hesitation she told me to just come early 7am check in, and this happened months before the trip, and even told me that no worries about any potential booking the day before. Talking about the house, it was great. Lots of space and privacy, and the jacuzzi is wonderful to use on a cold early winter night. It’s like onsen experience but a lot more private. The surrounding of the house is beautiful and peaceful. Of course you will need car to get around but then again you need a car everywhere in Australia. And the supermarket is just 3 minutes drive away within the same estate (no need to drive to main roads). Overall if we come back to Brisbane again, we know where to stay. Thank you Annette!

The place was perfect for our needs. It had plenty of space for the 2 of us. We love walking and beach access was very close so we were able to walk on the beach multiple times each day. Walking along the beach is also a great option to get to the sunshine beach cafes and restaurants.

This is a wonderful place to stay in probably the best location in Rainbow Beach. It has spectacular views, and the beach and shops are a short walk away. The apartment is beautiful and spacious, and the main bedroom is huge. We had a little trouble with check in, but Georgia was extremely helpful and did her best to make sure we had a great stay. We would definitely come again!

Lisa was lovely to communicate with. She always replied quickly. The unit was comfortable to stay in. Thank you.

The balcony’s view of the running creek and rain forest was just amazing, a beautiful time in nature, absolute relaxation, wonderful hosts and vibe, we loved it

Great location, easy access and parking. Very homely and also catered for our 22 month old, with portable cot and a variety of toys. Would stay again if down this way and certainly recommend this accomodation

Such a great stay and Melissa was wonderful to deal with and very accommodating with our check in and out times. Thank you so much. We look forward to returning

We stayed in Possums Retreat (unfortunately just for one night) and had a fantastic time. We love this place and will definately be returning. From the awesome spa, lovely bathroom, and tasteful decor, to the thoughtful breakfast hamper supplied, everything exceeded our expectations. We didn't hear the rooster make a noise until well after 8, and we had been up for a while by then! Great directions from the hosts, who are super thoughtful, even supplying new runners beside the beds as the weather was so cold. We will definitely be back!

Such a beautiful stay here over the weekend. such a nice big spacious home with everything you need. would definitely stay here again!!

Absolutely stunning property. Everything was perfect we had a great break there. Our pup loved the place, she played tennis, love meeting Mixie. Great hosts

A great place to stay, close to Queens Park and the city. Peaceful and private with excellent dining options within walking distance. Jess was an awesome host, very helpful, and extremely patient with us at check out time.

Lovely house in peaceful surroundings. We didn't have the best of weather so was great to sit around in front of the fire playing games, watching movies and sitting on the deck looking at the countryside. Lunch at the local pub was very good. I would recommend Karens place for anyone looking for a peaceful, relaxing break away in the country.

Absolutely magical stay, we didn’t want to leave. Such a beautiful space that had everything we needed! The beds were incredibly comfortable, the kids loved the pool, kitchen was really well equipped and the location was perfect for us as we had a wedding right around the corner. 5 mins from the beach and cafes too. Will hopefully be back for another weekend stay soon!

Amazing location! Gaz was very responsive and checked in to see if everything was suitable.

Thank you Dawn for yet another awesome holiday experience! Coming from the Netherlands this was our 3rd time, for 6 weeks here and we will keep coming back. Dawn is the perfect host, dog lover and we thoroughly enjoyed her friendly company! Everything was very clean and fresh. The location is perfect, with a lot of beautiful birds around. Grocery shopping is a 5 minute drive away to Woolworths and ALDI. Again thank you so much Dawn, cheers Lyn and Bert.

Our stay at Bertha is one to definitely remember, the atmosphere and surroundings were perfect

Had a great stay at Lisa’s. Probably the biggest bargain in Brisbane.

The hosts were really helpful and very responsive to my messages. The bnb was so lovely and clean and they even offered for us to check in early. Would highly recommend and will definitely be staying there if in casino again.

We had a lovely peaceful stay in this beautiful home. we loved the fireplace and quiet setting. would definitely come back. Thank you!

We so enjoyed the peace and quiet that permeated the space, along with the magnesium pool. We were very appreciative of the many extras provided that we have not come across in other AirBnB’s. We found Reinhold a very gracious and welcoming host, and just loved his little pup, Jack. Thank you Reinhold for opening up your slice of paradise to us. 😃👍😃💪😃

A beautiful apartment to stay in. Very clean, everything you needed and more. Perfect location and close to everything. You could walk everywhere. Great communication from Sandra as well. Very accomodating and lovely. Finding the key was easy with the instructions provided. Parking was a bit tricky but I paid to park at Opera Apartments for convenience at $30 per night - I had to get there early to purchase parking from the front desk as they closed at 12 on the weekend. They had to let me in as I didn’t have the apartment key yet but I could get to ground floor and explore the city, without a key, until check in. Highly recommend. I will stay there again when I return to the city.

How is this a real place! Absolutely beautiful as soon as you hit the gate. Stayed here for a wedding at Crows Nest and all of us agreed we would stay here again. I put up a few photos on my socials and had several people ask where we were staying, it looked that enticing! Thank you Julie for opening up your beautiful home.

Lil’s apartment was leafy, tranquil and sumptuous. Her linen was second to none and the place was sprinkled with complimentary homemade condiments. A nice walk to shops, markets and restaurants so our every need was easily accessed.

We had a great stay, wish we could have stayed longer and made the most of it. Karen was flexible with check in and out which was really great for us as we had a big night at a wedding the night before. Location is phenomenal, so close to everything, right near the beach and omg the patisserie accross the road was a lovely surprise!
