Waterfront apartment accommodation

Very large apartment, steps away from Manly hub
Awesome place to stay.we have stayed here twice now an will come back again

Stunning 2-Level City Sky Home with Carpark
Kalie is a fantastic host with a fantastic getaway right in the heart of Brisbane! My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed the space, the proximity of the apartment to stores and transport and the communication and cleanliness she provided. Would absolutely stay again and recommend to anyone considering accommodation in Brisbane City. Cheers Kalie!

Location! Brisbane City Centre! Whole Apartment!
Thanks for having me, all positives from my side except for one things. I found the bed to be not very comfortable but other than that great place to stay and the spa was great although not the hottest still did the job.

Woody Point by the Water
Dythea and Travis are amazing hosts and people. They made us feel at home straight away, instructions were clear, house was squeaky clean. Always available and happy to have a little chat or provide anything we needed. We also very much appreciated the food left for us for brekkie! Thank you to both of you!

Entire restort style apartment
If you have anything planned in the Hamilton area, this place is absolutely perfect. Great apartment, everything you need..

River views of Brisbane, lovely 1 Bedroom appt
Great location fabulous views had a great stay here. Host was very helpful and responded quickly. Would highly recommend a stay in this lovely apartment over looking the river. Would stay here when in brisbane anytime.

Wanting to relax and unwind
We had a very pleasant stay and especially loved the personal touches including hand written notes of welcome and clear instructions! Provided snacks and simple continental breakfast was also appreciated!

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.
Waterfront house rentals

Island Beach House Country Cabin
The island was great, perfect if you want to get away from it all. The property was spacious and in a great location.

Absolute Waterfront Island Oasis
We had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb and would highly recommend it! The location is unbeatable—right on the water, offering beautiful views and a peaceful atmosphere. Bernice was incredibly communicative, providing clear instructions and helpful guidance to make planning our stay easy. Although the weather wasn’t on our side, the comfortable and well-equipped accommodation allowed us to fully enjoy our time on Russell Island. We’ll definitely be returning on our next visit!

Beach House-Bundaleer-Among the trees on the beach
We loved going back to Bundaleer! Kitchen is well stocked. Beds are comfortable. Quality fixtures in the bathrooms. The back deck is the highlight! We spent much of our time there overlooking the water. We enjoyed the kayaks--going out on the water each day. Also enjoyed the wine and cheese. Neil was always responsive to any questions we had. Lovely spot. Highly recommended.

Exclusive Seaside House + Pool
Helen’s place was absolutely immaculate, cannot recommend highly enough…absolutely perfect….have already recommended to another adult family that visit there regularly…..

Getaway on Gordon
A wonderful stay. The additional bedroom and bathroom was excellent for us as an extended family. Evie (granddaughter) loved the area for play. So good our son and family could stay and enjoy their own space. Easy to eat together and close enough to go to planned events and activities like Blueys World and the Koala Sanctuary.

Beach Side Studio
Our first visit to Brisbane, hence our first visit to this property, the host is very friendly and helpful, would have no hesitation to stay at this property again, thank you for all your help. Cheers Sarah & Steve Gray

Bribie Island Beach House with Water Views
This was a great choice for a breakaway. 8 nights and it felt like a weekend. Bribie bustles on the weekends but it was quiet and very peaceful during the week. Everything is either walking distance or a short drive. The house is so cute and homely, filled with everything you need to make the stay feel like your very own holiday home. Comfy beds and lounges. Fully fenced yard was perfect for keeping the doggy’s contained. We will be back for sure. 10/10!

Dugong Place - Absolute waterfront & private jetty
We absolutely loved our stay at this island Airbnb! The amenities made it feel like a true retreat—especially the stunning water views from the deck, perfect for morning coffee or sunset wine. The kitchen was fully stocked with cooking essentials, and the cozy bed with soft linens made it hard to leave. Best of all, it was just a short walk to the ferry, shops, and restaurants—super convenient without needing a car. We can’t wait to come back!
Waterfront condo accommodation

Luxe Master room w/ Brisbane River views
Natasha and Tim are the most amazing hosts you can ever have! They were very easy to talk to, easy going, and even trying to find ways to improve their already perfect hospitality! My brother had his 18th whilst there, and they were very accomodating to such the occasion! In terms of location, it was perfect. Transportation was so easy, and walking along the Brisbane river was a great experience! I highly recommend these two amazing hosts, such an amazing family! Thank you for making our stay amazing!!

My Relaxing 2BR Get Away #4
Except for a couple of little things like a leaking shower… everything was excellent. The place, the location and the area.

Comfort Zone From Home 2 Bedroom Unit #3
We were hosted by Randall for the second time and everything was great again. The place matched our expectations and we would stay there when visiting Brisbane next time. Thanks Randall a lot.
