Everything was as described for this property. From the hosts to the house the experience was the best we've ever had! Everything was so well kept and clean at the property. Our co host Joanna was the most responsive, professional to work with that made our stay so easy and enjoyable!
We could not have chosen a better place to stay for our time near the Sunshine Coast! This house had everything we needed and more. My family and I came here on holiday and we were looking for somewhere to stay that could accommodate our needs and was close to the Australia Zoo (less than 30 minutes from the house). The location is very cozy and modern. The owners left restaurant and store recommendations, which were very thoughtful and we took advantage of them! If we ever come back to the area, we will return to this house!
