Jill and Justin are the perfect hosts. Both were easy to engage in conversation and Jill gave us plenty of insight to the area. The Loft itself was a great place to stay. Done in a nautical theme with the bed up in the loft and living area down stairs. We had undercover parking and also a camper trailer which we were able to park on the property. Really can't fault anything with our stay and we both highly recommend the hosts and The Loft itself.

Lovely to hear from you Graham and Sandy and very pleased you enjoyed your stay, I hope all went well on your exciting camping trip home, still envious of your trip. All the best for you both and we may meet again one day, Jill and Justin.
Perfect getaway at the beach. The apartment was very comfortable and had everything we needed, it had its own style (in a nice way that felt homely and not like a motel). Owners were brilliant to deal with. Our only problem is we should have stayed longer. If you want your own space and bored with the motel option, you will love this.

John and his wife were superb guests who we thoroughly enjoyed hosting. We highly recommend them to all future hosts and look forward to seeing them again.
Lovely stay, couldn't ask for nicer hosts! Definitely pick their brains about local things to do, as they are a treasure trove of information! Hope to be back
Jill and Justin are terrific hosts. The accommodation was clean and tidy and with lots of little touches made our stay a delight. Would definitely recommend to others.
Absolutely delightful hosts, everything there for an easy stress free stay. I was a little worried about the ladder to the loft, it turned out to be quite ok. So dont let it put you off staying at this lovely quirky property. I felt like I was on a lovely tropical island. Thank you Jill and Justin.
The place was in an excellent location close to town and everything we needed for a quick get away..
Our hosts Julie and Justin where friendly and welcoming, and also gave us plenty of privacy..
Our daughter had a small request for us and you didn't hesitate to deliver.
Even though it rained we still had a great weekend..
Thank you so much 🙂

Lovely experience.
Excellent weekend getaway for us. Driving to Rainbow is just too far for a relaxing day visit, so a weekender at The Loft is affordable, while the hosts are superb, even providing a continental breakfast in the deal. And being pet-friendly clinched it for us.

Jill and her Husband were such lovely people! this beach loft is so cute and Jill is sweet enough to provide a selection of cereals, milk, bread, butter and jam, plenty of fresh fruit.. and even a freddo! The Loft is really private if you are concerned about that. All of Jill's recommendations of things to do in rainbow beach were spot on, and I would certainly love to come back and visit again. You might even be lucky enough to meet the adorable sausage dog they are looking after at the moment! This review is very late as I stayed here 3 months ago! I have recommended this loft to alot of my friends. Thanks again Jill for a wonderful get away. Emily
