Our stay exceeded our expectations. Wow what a lovely clean unit and so spacious. Communication with our host was great.

Stunning 2-Level City Sky Home with Carpark
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The apartment has outstanding views over the city and is in a superb location for enjoying the river boardwalk and gorgeous central city. All we needed was there for our family of 6. Comfortable, clean, welcoming and enjoyable. I highly recommend.

We had a great stay at Nikki’s apartment. The accommodation is pristine, the fit-out, view and interiors are stunning. Nikki has gone above and beyond with extra amenities which we really appreciated - milk, spices, salt and pepper, coffee and tea, washes in the bathroom etc. The location is fantastic for families. It’s walking distance to an IGA, an amazing playground for kids and there is a rooftop pool to keep kids occupied for hours. The only ‘down’ side is that key pickup is at a nearby bottle shop on a busy street. Google maps couldn’t find the address, it was pouring rain and we had two crying babies in the car. You should factor an extra 30mins to find the keys, then drive to the apartment and find/get into the car park. Once you’ve found it, it’s super easy to get in. Nikki was quick to respond to my call for help, and was lovely to deal with.

Artemis on Minjerribah
I took my 4 year old daughter for the Easter long weekend and we had a great time. With the pool and beach right on our doorstep it was the perfect little getaway. The apartment was in a great location, with ocean views, beautiful sunrises, and everything we needed supplied. Communication with our hosts was always prompt and friendly. Five stars!!

Celebrate 'n' Chill in the City

Stunning River City Views 2B
We had a great stay. The location was ideal and apartment was perfect. Loved the view, especially in the evenings. Highly recommended. Thanks again.

Stylish Riverside 1Bed/Studio with Rooftop Pool
Cute and clean little studio apartment near Roma street in Brisbane. Having the kitchenette is especially nice during a longer stay when you want to cook a basic meal here and there or simply make breakfast in the morning. Maeva was a very responsive and helpful host. The only thing I'd advise others about is that there is only one keycard to this apartment, which for solo travelers or couples who come and go at the same time would not be a problem, but I had a friend join me what was originally planned to be a solo trip last minute, and trying to coordinate one keycard between two independent adults with different schedules was a bit of a hassle. The hassle was self-incurred due to last-minute planning and no fault of Maeva's :) but for those of you with more foresight I would advise that this apartment is probably best suited for solo travelers and couples.

River Fire Apartment- Best River Views and Carpark
We had a great stay at Neil and Sharon’s place. Room had all the amenities we needed and the view over the Brisbane River is sensational. We were in town for a match at Suncorp Stadium, which is only a short walk away. Also convenient for South Bank and the city. Would definitely stay again!

Exclusive Seaside House + Pool
Place was great stay for me and the family the Manly location was beautiful very close to coastal strip with plenty of spots to grab a nice bite to eat close by. The house was great setup and kids loved swimming in the pool as much as they could.

Ocean Front Paradise Fish off the deck
We had an absolutely amazing stay! The house on the water was even better than we expected - honestly, the photos don’t do it justice. The views were stunning, especially the sunsets, which were truly out of this world. The home was spotless, beautifully set up and had everything we needed. It was especially great for families with young kids - lots of thoughtful amenities that made our stay so much easier. Highly recommend!

Large entertaining deck, Water views, leafy.
We have stayed in a number of Airbnbs recently, Jason’s place by far has been the best! Really lovely house, well presented, felt right at home instantly. Great location. Well equipped with everything we needed, easy check in and out also! Jason was a fantastic host, we will definitely be back and highly recommend Jason and his beautiful home.

Getaway on Gordon
Sails on Gordon was super well equipped for a large family. The location was perfect for close access to walking/bike paths. Belinda was very prompt with communication and was quick to assist us with changes to our booking when we needed to add an extra guest. The extra little welcoming gifts were also very appreciated.

Luxe Master room w/ Brisbane River views
Natasha's place was clean, spacious and very comfortable. As a host her and Tim were kind, open and hospitable. Natasha's place is beautifully located next to the river, perfect for sunrise runs. I felt taken care of as well as feeling like my privacy and boundaries were respected. Highly recommend.

2bedroom2bath entire condo near BrisbaneCBD&QUT&UQ
Scarletts place is a little gem. Perfectly placed to explore Brisbane. Clean and tidy with plenty of space for a couple.

Exceptional value that's close to city with views
I booked this place super last minute because I just wanted a couple of nights away, and honestly, it couldn’t have worked out better. Charles met me at reception, showed me how everything worked, and walked me up to the apartment, which was really nice of him. He was super informative, really easy to get in contact with, and just made the whole process smooth. The place looked exactly like the photos — super clean, cozy, and had a great vibe. When I was checking out, I accidentally spilled my water bottle on the carpet, and Charles was super chill about it and helped me sort it out without any stress. I’d 100% stay here again and definitely recommend it if you’re looking for somewhere chill to relax for a few days.

KIANA BAY home away from home
Neat and tidy little unit in a quieter part of the Gold Coast. The master bed may just be the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in! Very clean with a responsive host. Would definitely recommend.
