We had an amazing stay at Tim's place over Christmas. The house was so spacious and homely, and very private. Thelma & Louise were the loveliest well natured dogs ever, we didn't hear them bark once. Tim was a fantastic host, he left us to ourselves and knowing that we wanted to go paddle boarding, he kindly kept an eye on the weather and as soon as we got a break of sunshine he took us straight down to the creek and let us use his boards whilst he ran his own errands around town. The house has everything you could possibly need, the area is lovely, the house is nestled in the woods far away from the road so all you can hear is the wildlife around you. We wanted to see waterfalls and Tim recommended the Currumbin Rock Pools about a 14 min drive away, it was a lovely place for a swim! On Christmas Day the weather was rubbish, and the TV was awful so Tim sweetly brought us some DVD's to watch. We can't thank you enough for a wonderful stay Tim! Thank you!

What a gem. Right in the heart of the Gold Coast yet right in the middle of the bush. Tim is a great host and has supplied every thing one needs for a short stay. In fact we extended our stay for 2 extra days. We recommend this place without reservation.

The host canceled this reservation 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Tims place. The scenery is spectacular and the house is so comfortable and inviting. The house was very clean and beautifully presented with everything we needed for our stay. Tim is such a gracious host and made us feel very welcome. The dogs are an absolute delight!!! I often found myself just sitting outside with them. Thanks again for giving us such a wonderful stay :)

I loved staying here, the location was beautiful and secluded. It felt like living in the middle of the rain forest with the convenience of being close to town. The deck is amazing and great for birdwatching and having a good read. The living space was super comfortable and the appliances were good quality. We took full advantage of the espresso machine. Overall, he was an amazing and hospitable host, and even offered to take us paddle boarding (unfortunately the weather wasn't great that day).

We had a lovely 2 days at Tim's Place. He met us on arrival and gave us tips about the amenities, then left us in peace (with the knowledge he was there to help of needed ) Clean, all mod cons, binoculars and bird book a thoughtful touch. Highly recommended.

Tim's place is exactly as described in his listing. The apartment is spotless and well equipped for any of your needs. My husband and I loved sitting on the deck watching and listening to the beautiful birds in the area. Tim supplies binoculars and a bird book, which we had a lot of fun using. Tim made some wonderful bushwalking (hiking) recommendations and we hope to try them out someday. Thelma and Loiuse (the dogs) were adorable, sweet and well mannered. You will have a fantastic time at Tims!

Tim made me feel very welcome, the accomodation is fabulous, don't need for anything. The apartment is immaculate and very tasteful. The surrounding is superb, extremely relaxing and private. It is a great place to restore and recharge and with it's tranquil and so peaceful atmosphere a great place to think things through, listen to the birds and wildlife and feel that you are miles away from everything. At the same time local shops are close enough. I wish I could have stayed longer but still came away relaxed, calm and ready to go back to my busy schedule. Now I know where it is, I will most certainly be going back. I have already recommended it to one of my closest friends. Also as a female alone you feel very safe and the apartment can be completely locked if you feel the need. Thelma and Louise the boxer dogs are just lovely and an asset to the place.

Michelle and her family are friendly,it's a beautiful and comfortable house,we like it,thank you Michelle.:)

My kids and I stayed at Michelle's house and they made us feel like part of the family. Michelle's partner and her 3 kids are lovely. We loved our 7 night stay there - it went way too fast. Everything was clean and everyone amazing and friendly. We'll be back :) Thank you very much!!! :)

The host was very friendly and made us feel welcome! She let us check in before the check in time which was we appreciated :) We lived in a shared house and the family was quiet and considered so we could sleep in after a big Christmas day.

The place was lovely, and such a wonderful alternative to the Gold Coast high rise apartments you usually see. Karen was just delightful, and very welcoming. She struck the perfect balance between friendliness and giving us our space to explore the area. The cottage itself was cosy and just right for a long weekend away, and the sheep/dog/chickens were an added bonus. The pool and spa were great - overall I'd definitely recommend!

Karen's place is a perfect getaway if you are looking for peace and quiet. There are things you can do like enjoy the hot tub or take a dip in their pool or feed her lovely sheep! I recommend it to people who are looking for a break from their usual city life.

We had a lovely weekend at Karen's. The place was nice, clean and cosy. Karen was away for the weekend and left a nice wee note with a muffin for my partners sons birthday and some bread to feed the sheep. The little thoughtful gifts were really nice. Would stay here again:)

Lovely property, accom was clean and cozy, perfect to get away from the hustle of the city

We really enjoyed our 4 night stay, my Air BNB benchmarks are a) is the place as described? b) is the bed comfortable? This little cabin scored full marks on both, and bonus brownie points for added thoughtful touches, the warm spa in winter and the friendly sheep! The location is a great base for a range of day trips around the local area, including 12 minutes to Burleigh Heads. Karen and her family are very welcoming, helpful and easy going. We don't hesitate to recommend their little corner of paradise.

Met by Karen at the front & showed us to the cottage. Some bread to feed the pet sheep. Just so relaxing.

Really enjoyed our stay.. Thanks Karen and family!

Had the most wonderful stay with Karen, Matt and Emily. Aston was completely adorable, feeding the sheep was a definite highlight (don't know who enjoyed it the most: the kids, the sheep, or us! I'm sure they're noticeably fatter) and the spa and BBQ made it a very relaxing weekend. The cottage is a perfect little hideaway and so close to the beach and gold coast. Highly recommended! Thanks Karen

很漂亮的度假庄园。我们一行人度过了非常快乐的2天。庄园里有各种漂亮的孔雀,鸭子,山鸡,白鹅等动物。像置身动物园。房东还很NICE的主动带我们去看袋鼠,但是因为时间上无法配合最后没有成行。房东还亲自烤了一个蛋糕来欢迎我们!

Staying at Bend of the River was superb, a holiday in itself. Justy is a really lovely host, and had fresh eggs, bread and home made cake waiting for us. (The cake alone was worth staying there for...). The house is very beautiful, comfortable and well equipped, with fabulous views and spacious grounds. Its also very peaceful and relaxing. We had a wonderful stay there.

Justy's place was gorgeous and cozy, just like what we saw in the pictures. It was exquisitely decorated, and so different from all other places we'd ever stayed. We saw an adorable koala bear up on a tall tree, and lots of peacocks and horses. Having lived all my life in big cities, this was something I'd never experienced. I would like to thank Justy for the home-baked cake, the eggs, the jam and everything else she prepared for us, and thank Geoff for welcoming us. I will definitely recommend Justy's place to all my friends going to Gold Coast.

My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely Queenslander home. Our host Justy was warm and friendly which made us feel very welcome on the property. The house is amazingly well equipped complete with fresh bread, eggs and cake on arrival. A great escape from our busy lives in Sydney, we will definitely be returning.

Bend of the River was the loveliest mid winter holiday destination. Justy made us feel so welcome and was the perfect host, going "above and beyond" to make us feel at home. The house and surroundings are a perfect example of country living with the orchard,chooks and geese but with the added advantage of having Tallebudgera Creek nearby for fishing and Burleigh Heads over the hill for retail therapy (if needed). I never normally sleep soundly the first night on any holiday but we all fell into a dreamless sleep every night at Bend of the River. I highly recommend this accommodation and I am very grateful that we had the opportunity to stay in this this beautiful old home.

Justy was very responsive and helpful during the reservation process. The house is exactly as described in the post - warm, homely and contains everything that is needed for our stay , including two ovens and a ready supply of firewood! The surroundings were beautiful and my sons especially loved the peacocks, chickens and ducks roaming freely around. We want to thank Geoff for hosting us as well and for giving us fruits from their orchard to try. The Brazilian custard apple was so sweet and could not be bought from markets. Thanks to Justy for baking a lovely cake to welcome us as well!

This is a unique scenic property: it is secluded yet close to everything the Gold Coast offers including Burleigh and Palm Beach. The farm animals, fruit trees and the view of the river were delightful. Inside, the historic Queenslander, the art works, varied interesting books, free wifi and well stocked kitchen made for a relaxing holiday.

Superbe maison de caractère dans la verdure, à proximité des plages. Ce gîte offre un vrai contraste entre la campagne et surfer paradise. De plus, Justin est une hôte charmante et qui parle très bien le français. N'hésitez pas ă lui rendre visite.

A brilliant ideal retreat which is in the words of Hemmingway " is a pause in tranquility" the residence is vast and it just flows, on a ridge with views of the city skyline and water, but nestled in bush, with a pool, there is even a rain forest on the acreage, the layout of the residence allows interaction or non interaction with others as when is desired, a brilliant gem of an oasis

This beautiful hidden gem was everything we were looking for. A place to reconnect with nature but in the comfort of a lovely home full of personality! Nat is such a easygoing, chill and helpful host, we felt welcome the minute we got there! There is also heaps of rooms if you prefer privacy . The pool , the garden and the view have nothing to envy to 5* hotel! At this price its a steal ! Well be back

The stay at natalee's property was a joy. It was peaceful, secluded and very comfortable. It was easy to feel welcome and at home due to natalee's warm relaxed and kind nature. Would definitely recommended, Couldnt of been any more pleasant

Staying at Natalee's was an amazing experience. Her house on the topside of hill gave a spectacularly tranquil view of the ocean in the distance. The mornings greet you with warm sunrises and smiles. Nat herself is a delight. I thought of her as a cool aunt. We enjoyed late nights by the fireplace (!!) and she even cooked us an full-blown roast. We loved Natalee and will be wanting to go back soon again.

You will be very well received by Peter and Deborah. It's a great way to get to know some locals and get in touch with the local wildlife too. Make sure to have a drink with the hosts on the deck as they have great stories !

Peter and Deb were excellent hosts! Their place is in a pretty great location for feeling far away but close enough to the conveniences but immersed in gorgeous nature. We shared our breakfast with 2 very inquisitive magpies and a kookaburra and hopefully the koalas do come back, Deb! Nothing was too hard for the hosts, especially considering the entertainment we thought to provide them by locking the keys to our rental car down at the shops.. really appreciated the kindness and lovely chats. My partner and I really enjoyed our stay and would easily recommend this hidden treehouse!

The host canceled this reservation 113 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Our 1st experience was a delight! Our host Katherine was welcoming and accomodating .....our space was superb, bed , pillows, bathroom, extra space for dining ! Pool , what more could any one ask for ! Thanks again Lyn & Kev

My friend stayed here and really liked it ! It was good, the pool was nice. He felt very well accommodated , everything was clean. And he had all the creature comforts, plus extra! He would highly recommended this place.

Great people, awesome family. Its like staying with your own family. Genuinely good people.

Our host was friendly and made every effort to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Best AirBnB experience to date, and don't think they get any better then this either. Amazing location. Would recommend to stay more than 1 night, and make sure you don't miss the sunset.

The barn is situated in a beautiful lush almost tropical area. The room itself is a whole seperate building amazingly well furnished with antiques and modern appliances. I left wishing it was my own home.

Cynthia was very accommodating. The barn is stunning; perfect for a romantic getaway.

WOW... What an amazing place!!! It was like stepping into the pages of a magazine... beautiful from inside to out. Every detail has been thought of to provide the most perfect holiday accommodation, from a comfy bed with lovely linens to a well equipped kitchen, including treats and a goodie fridge you are able to purchase from. A lovely space to relax and get away from it all after busy Gold Coast days but so close that you can still head out for the night and the beach really is only 15mins away!!! Cynthia THANKYOU for allowing us to stay in your beautiful property and also for the delicious tea cake!!! We will be back.

We loved our stay hitting the beach in the morning and spending the afternoon in the resort style pool. Perfect house for the kids and dogs
