The Theme parks - Paradise Country is 6kms, Wet 'n' Wild, Movie World and Top Golf are 5kms away, Dreamworld is 10kms, Sea World is 9 kms.

Broadwater Parklands at Southport - 15 mins or 9.5 kms, is a wonderful destination for families, open spaces, water play area for little children - with lifeguards, netted swimming area (still water) lots of events, boat ramp, great kids' playground.
Surfers Paradise beach is 20 mins or 14km, Burleigh Heads is another beautiful beach which is about 22-25 mins drive or 24km.

We are close to major shopping centre's:-
Westfield Helensvale - 4km 7 mins
Harbour Town - Biggera Waters- great for outlet shopping 7.5km approx 13 mins
Robina Town Centre Robina - 17km 17 mins
Pacific Fair Broadbeach - 25 mins 18 kms

Gold Coast University Hospital, Gold Coast Private Hospital and Griffith University are only 4.5kms away.

We do recommend a car, we are in an acreage suburban area, public transport is nearby, the light rail which is a 15 minute walk, or a short 1.2km drive. This is an easy way to get you to Surfers Paradise, but your own vehicle gives you the freedom to explore all the Coast has to offer. The light rail also connects to the main rail line at Helensvale which connects to Brisbane.

The property is very secure, with security screens on all windows, security screen doors, which means you can leave the doors locked open at night in summer to allow more ventilation. There is no air conditioning, but the area is very cool as it is downstairs under the main house, set into a hill, is fully tiled, with lots of doors and windows that allow good ventilation. Each bedroom has a ceiling fan, and the main areas have pedestal fans.
After a busy day exploring the Coast or visiting the Theme parks, this is a little oasis to come home to, quiet, relaxing and very private.

We have lived on the Coast for over 30 years and know lots of places that are great to explore, we are also very close to the green behind the gold, the beautiful hinterland.

We live upstairs, we have our own driveway and entrance. We have dogs who live upstairs, and are confined to our deck.

We won't invade your privacy; we understand how important it is to relax and how precious holidays are but saying that we are here if you need us or want to know anything.

The wildlife here is amazing including - cockatoos, rainbow lorikeets, corellas, and kookaburras.

If you want to know more, please contact me and I will be more than happy to assist you with any enquiries, or better still look forward to meeting you soon. Cheers, Susie

Awesome
This was an awesome family holiday that we desperately needed. The accommodation was immaculate, the tropical garden gave a gorgeous outdoor atmosphere, and the pool and cabana area were delightful. The location was perfect for our day trips, but the place was so nice that one day we chose to just stay there all day. This is a place that we will return to again!

Home away from home
Susie and Brad have done a great job creating very comfortable accommodation within their tropical hideaway home, and all so close to the typical Gold Coast attractions. Why stay in a noisy high rise apartment when you can stay here and feel completely at home? Thanks for making us feel welcome Susie.

Beautiful accommodation
The most beautiful accommodation for me and my family. The owner Susie was just an absolute delight and extremely accommodating to our needs even putting chocolates and wine in fridge and juice boxes and icypoles in the freezer. The house was beautiful and clean and the outdoor area was to die for with a huge area for relaxing with table and chairs, bbq, outdoor lounge area and ping pong table not to forget the huge pool which was gorgeous at night all lit up with the lights. Thank you Susie I would definitely recommend to anyone to stay here just incredible.

About the host

Hosted by Susie Smith

Host profile image
Brad and I love to meet people, we have travelled abroad, and enjoy all that the world has to offer. We love good food, nice wines, entertaining, and showing our guests wonderful hospitality. We have 3 sons, who have all completed university degrees. We look forward to meeting our new guests and treating them the way we would like to be treated. We also respect your privacy, we understand how important holidays are.
We love our home due to its relaxed feel and also due to its great location we are so close to everything, but feel as though you are miles away at the same time.

Why they chose this property

Our property is private, luxurious, spacious yet still cosy and very family friendly. The beds and pillows are comfy. The kitchen is huge, there is a large dining room table and 2 leather lounges. Parking is right at the door, your car is covered by a large shade sail to keep the heat away, and protect it from any storms. The pool is large and deep, surrounded by palms and shaded from the sun, you can sit and relax in the pool cabana, enjoy a cool drink and a meal all while watching the kids in the pool. The pool and cabana are surrounded by tropical gardens, the space is cool and relaxing.
The property is close to a state forest, so the birds visit us all the time, cockatoos, rainbow lorikeets, and corellas.

This is a little oasis to come home to at the end of a busy day, or just a wonderful place to chill out and relax, whatever the reason, you will find what you need.

What makes this property unique

The privacy, and luxury of the tropical space. We are so close to all the that the Coast has to offer, but in our own little tropical hideaway, we are a short 5-8 min drive to Wet N Wild, and Movie World. Sea World is a little further around 15-20 mins. We have an abundance of wild life as we are on an acre close to the state forest. We have set up the accommodation to suit families, singles or people working on the Coast. It is very comfortable and I pride myself on the cleanliness of the property. You wont be disappointed.
There are security cameras in the outside common areas.
