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!

The Executive! 1Bed, 1Bath, 1Car, VIEWS ~ CBD
We really enjoyed our time at Andy’s unit. The view was incredible,especially at night when the Storey Bridge was lit up. The accommodation was everything advertised and in fact the photos did not really do the space justice. The kitchen was all high end appliances,while the shower was outstanding. Of special note was the overall spotlessness of the unit. We have stayed in many Airbnbs and Andy’s is definitely amongst the best we have experienced. Really enjoyed the stay and we must complement Andy on his wonderful communication throughout our time.

Spectacular Botanic River View CBD/ STAR Casino
Fantastic place to stay. Great location. Great apartment. The only slightly disappointing thing was such a new apartment that didn't have a smart TV. We had to go for a wander to Officeworks and buy some cords. Aside from that, it was amazing.

Celebrate 'n' Chill in the City
Selina was a lovely host to meet and greet. Very obliging and helpful. The apartment was comfortable and suited our needs.

Amazing views! 2BRM Beachfront Apartment, Labrador
Sandra's place is fantastic. Wonderful apartment over looking the Broadwater. Great public space nearby to relax and enjoy. Sandra herself was very warm and friendly and provided essentials to get you started upon arrival which was great! Two things that were exceptional was PLENTY OF TOWELS AND TOILET ROLLS WOOHOO!!! Nothing worse than only two towels for a total stay period. Thanks again Sandra, we'll definitely be back soon. Regards, Todd 🙂🙂

Stunning Waterfront Penthouse | 3 or 4 Bedrooms
My wife and I spent a few days here and enjoyed an excellent stay. Huge balcony. Useable and practical kitchen, quality gas range is a plus. Large and multiple windows and glass surrounding balcony make for an excellent view. I was impressed with how clean all of the glass was. Compliments to the cleaners. We stay in air-bnb’s 2-3 times per year. This is a good one.

River Fire Apartment- Best River Views and Carpark
This is one of the best AirBnBs we've ever stayed in. It had everything you could possibly need, a great view, a great layout, a nice building, and a really good location. It may as well be a model for how to run a good AirBnB. The in-unit guide was so extensive and had all of the information you could ever want or need, and the hosts were very responsive and helpful as well. Though the CBD and further up Roma can be a little weird at night, the building is surrounded by police buildings 😅 and is very safe and secure. Honestly the only trouble we had was a roach falling from the AC unit overnight, but it was pretty much DOA and all we had to do was clean it up. I don't blame the host and I thought the unit was fairly clean overall, especially the bathroom. We loved this place and especially loved the shower and the view. We would rebook 100% if we're ever back in Brisbane!

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…..

Ocean Front Paradise Fish off the deck
We had a great stay at Peter's place, amazing location lots to do and make use of such as crab pots, fishing rods etc. we had a great time and would highly reccommend Peter as a host.

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.

Waterfront Holiday Home - Family Friendly
We had such a wonderful stay at this beautiful home! We travelled up from Canberra to spend some quality time with family, and this place was absolutely perfect for it. The house is spacious, clean, and so well set up for groups—it felt like a home away from home the moment we walked in. There was plenty of room for everyone to relax without feeling on top of each other, and the layout made it easy to enjoy shared meals, game nights, and quiet mornings with a coffee. The attention to detail in the home really shows—everything was thoughtful, comfortable, and easy to use. The location was also great—peaceful, yet close enough to everything we needed. We couldn’t have asked for a better spot to reconnect and make memories. Highly recommend this stay to anyone looking for a warm, family-friendly getaway. We’d definitely book again!

Westlake Lakeview Stay:Black Swans & Golf Close By
place was as described. very responsive when we did not have hot water as the gas tank was empty. Henry came to check and assist. although it was quite a wait and had to postpone some of our itinerary, it was handled well. it was beautiful and calm. worth your money for the serenity. thank you Joy and team!

Absolute Beachfront Family Paradise
A hidden paradise on Macleay Island. My family of 9 thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this spacious beautiful home with ocean views from every room. Very well stocked with everything you could possibly need, from kayaks to a cake mixer, to 2 fridges and many beautiful serving platters. The large verandah gives direct gated access to the ocean. Very calm water, perfect for young kids to play in. Large BBQ to cook up a feast while relaxing in front of the magnificent view. Highly recommend.
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!!

Except for a couple of little things like a leaking shower… everything was excellent. The place, the location and the area.

Lovely place to stay in a fabulous complex. The apartment was a great open space with all the facilities and equipment you could ask for. Communication with the hosts was always rapid and helpful. I would definitely stay again.
