Family-friendly holiday rentals in Varsity Lakes

Rod’s place was fantastic. We chose it because we have children aged 1, 2 and 4. It’s walking distance to everything - the beach, the pirate playground, great footpaths for scootering, walking distance to shops and restaurants and the facility also has a pool that is wade-in which meant our young children could splash in the shallow area without us holding them. The apartment was kitted out with everything we needed - and more! We brought our own baby Bjorn travel cot but they have the exact same one in the apartment. There was even a small step for toddlers to reach the sink. We loved having access to a few puzzles and books - we brought our own with us not expecting the apartment to have anything but my 4yo completed Rod’s 100 piece puzzles multiple times! The underground secure carpark is great. We drive a Kia carnival and had no problems with the carpark at all. Rod and Kathy provided very clear instructions and information. It was also extremely clean!

Caroline’s place at Surfers Aquarius was absolutely incredible! The view from the 33rd floor was simply breathtaking—waking up to that ocean view was something else. The apartment was spotless, stylish, and had everything we needed for a super comfortable stay. The building itself had great amenities, and the location was perfect—just a short walk to the beach, cafes, and shops. Caroline was a lovely host—very responsive and thoughtful. Easily one of the best Airbnb stays we’ve had. Highly recommended!

A great location and unit for a family! We loved our stay here, super clean and comfy. Josie was excellent from the moment we checked in with clear instructions and so quick with communication. We will be back soon!

Absolutely amazing stay! The highlight was definitely the balcony — we could watch both the sunrise and sunset right from there, each painting the sky with breathtaking colors. At night, the city lights created a magical view that we couldn’t get enough of. The beach was just a short walk away, making morning strolls and evening beach visits so easy and enjoyable. The place was spotless, well-equipped, and truly felt like a home away from home. Pete was very responsive. Highly recommend this stay — we’ll definitely be back!

Great location could walk to so many attractions and food places, so close to Cole’s. Amazing pool and spar facilities. Was nice to have a dishwasher and washing machine. The parking spot being included saved us so much money.

Brad gave clear instructions to self check-in which allowed easy access at flexible hours. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. Location was very convenient as well. Most of all, the view from the bedroom and balcony was absolutely beautiful regardless of the time. We'll definitely return. Thanks✨️

We had a great experience with Jenny and Steve. They were amazing to deal with in checking in and help us with check out. The location is great, with everything you need in walking distance. We will definitely be back next year.

This was our second booking with Jose & Liria and will continue to choose them (if available) for all of our future weekend family getaways!!! As per the first time we stayed, they were amazing and accommodating to my family and I. It's absolutely Home away from Home!! It's central to EVERYTHING and unless you want to catch a tram to Pac Fair etc, then everything else is within walking distance. Check in was smooth, check out was also good going. I highly recommend Jose & Lirias place!! It's family friendly and comfortable. if I could give more stars, I'd give 100/10 😁

Great place to stay, quiet location, walking distance to the beach. Cleve sent clear instructions prior to arrival which made check in super easy. Would definitely stay here again.

Thanks for a wonderful weekend! Rare to find a place with plenty of bedrooms and beds for a group getaway in such a central location, close to beach, breweries, coles, restaurants and more. Pool was lovely, living areas well presented, and in a very quiet neighborhood.

Brad’s place was easy walking distance to great cafes and restaurants. It had everything that we needed, so we felt right at home. We were grateful to be able to be able to bring our dog along with us. Thanks Brad.

Second stay at this amazing place! Kynan was very responsive to our queries and the house is set up so well. Love the location on the water with beautiful morning and evening views.

Had a lovely stay with family. Perfect for 6 people. Very responsive host. Recommend!

Nice and clean. It was so great that Estelle let us early which is so great. Love the bathroom bath and wash stuff smells amazing. amazing apartments would love to go back. My dogs had the best time going to the beach which is walking distance. Thank you

it's all about the river. for us it was a sense of peace and wonder. for a family of 5 the cottage is small but the kids loved the cosiness and front balcony with views galore. walking distance to Blonde Baker (best pies) and Tumby Tavern (excellent feed). kayaking option too when it's not so cold

A lovely home to stay in - we had a wonderful relaxing family birthday celebration. :-) x

The property was perfection for a holiday stay!! Everything was just right, the pool and back view was amazing. It was in a great area where everything was easy to get to. The host is absolutely outstanding and helpful. 10/10 would recommend 😍

I had a great stay at this place during my trip to the Gold Coast. Everything was more than just good – the cleanliness, comfort, and overall setup exceeded my expectations. The check-in and check-out process was smooth and hassle-free, and the place looked exactly like the photos. The host was responsive and helpful throughout the stay. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the area. Great experience overall!

Really enjoyable stay at Maria's house, great host and very responsive to any questions. Very clean and modern accommodation. Very well equipped with all the comforts of home. Loved the roof top terrace for those afternoon bbqs. Highly recommend this place to stay in Broadbeach. Thanks again for making our family holiday perfect.

We loved our time at this property! The hosts couldn't have made us feel any more welcome and the house was a favourite for us across our travels, giving us plenty of space and a really homely feel to spend our time. Places like this really add that little bit extra in making time spent travelling feel special. Would book again in a heartbeat!

Michelle was super communicative. Booked at the last minute and she had us sorted in no time. Arrived late at night and auto check-in was seamless. It was a work trip so we weren't there much, but the house was very tidy and well presented and had everything we needed. Highly recommend.

I loved dealing with Deirdre. She was so easy to communicate with, and we loved the home. It worked really well for us. We would like to come back again.

Great little secluded and comfortable place to stay. Close to cafes and shops, and was surprisingly quiet for being in town.

Very easy process. Quick responses. Great location. Value for money. Highly recommend Martin and the apartment.
