Family-friendly holiday 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!

We had an amazing 6 nights at Rachael’s place. With 2 kids in tow, holidays can feel like parenting in a different location, but the Noosa international has a great pool and facilities, and the apartment is perfectly suited to a young family. There’s a lot of walking but the bus system was unreal! The Junction has awesome restaurants - would definitely recommend the burger place and Flo’s creperie! Rachael was super efficient and flexible with communication, and the apartment had everything we could need, down to a high chair, cot, and even a set of floaties for the pool. Thanks for a great stay, we’ll be recommending your place to everyone we know going to Noosa with kids!

Steph’s place was exactly as described. It was out of the hustle and bustle of Noosa but only a 5-10min drive from Noosa. I loved waking up to the birds chirping every morning. I would definitely stay here again.

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!

Spent two lovely nights in Noosa. Very comfortable accomodation with a perfect space for entertaining on the balcony. Spent a cosy night playing card games in the lounge room. Close to everything that we needed. Will definitely be back!

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

Loved staying here! Beautiful, spacious apartment with great amenities! Walking distance to Hastings street with the bus stop right out the front if you need. Communication was great, very responsive and easy check in! Would recommend and definitely stay again! Thank you!

Lovely short stay, will come back again for a longer visit next time

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

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

I had an amazing experience staying at Karen’s place! From the moment I arrived, everything was smooth and welcoming. The check-in process was super easy, and the host provided clear instructions and a house guide. The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay — including a fully equipped kitchen, and cozy bedding. We were down visiting family and everything we needed was easy to get to. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

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!

Would highly recommend this for any wanting to stay in Maleny!

The place is perfect with a nice view and beach front. The host is very helpful. We loved our stay here. Thanks

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

We had a lovely peaceful weekend at Sue’s! The house was a beautiful old farm house, with ample spots to sit and take in the amazing views. We loved the indoor fireplace! The dogs loved the place and the fenced yard was perfect for them to get out their energy! A wonderful country stay, we’ll definitely go back!

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

Fabulous views and gorgeous seaside style.

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. 😃👍😃💪😃

We had a wonderful 3 day stay with family and friends to share an 80 th birthday. Our ages ranged from 1 year old to 80 and all ages in between and everyone had a wonderful time. The kitchen with its cooking facilities, crockery, cutlery, glassware etc. was everything we needed and more. The pizza oven was a treat as was the BBQ. The children loved the well stocked dress up box, the spa and the grounds for running around and being active. The pool table and table tennis were well used and there were many cosy areas to sit and chat or have quiet time. The train was very cosy and the beds so comfortable. Those who camped enjoyed the shady area under the macedamia trees. There were so many quirky, interesting additions and decorative features to the various areas especially the Irish Pub which was a popular venue for nightly games. We would recommend this accommodation and venue wholeheartdely. The hosts are very welcoming and always responsive. Thank you.

Bob and Carmen were wonderful hosts. Carmen lovingly stocked our refrigerator with hard boiled eggs, milk, a loaf of bread, grapes and other goodies. They were a pleasure to talk with and were super generous in allowing us a later checkout.

Heidi's accommodation is a gorgeous freestanding unit, across the driveway from the main house. Very stylish interior, with a fresh, nautical feel. Spotlessly clean, the standout for us was the thoughtful addition of so many complimentary accessories provided. The property is safely secured behind an electric gate entry on their property. Easy to find and you will have a set of keys and remote for the duration of your stay. Thank you for a great experience, Heidi!

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.
