About this property

Surfers Beach style Cottage Pet Friendly

A gorgeous traditional old Queensland beach style Cottage with private swimming pool, it is a little private oasis, full of extras and thoughtful touches, excellent value and super clean, beautifully presented.

A detached property with everything you need to make holiday memories.

Rates on calendar are for 4 people, this is a small cottage, we wont allow overcrowding, if children are included in the booking please specify, we allow of maximum of 6 people including children. The property gives excellent value for smaller groups, couples or small families with young children.

Location, Location, Location and a picket fence! Close to everything on the Gold Coast. A super cute older style cottage with lots of luxurious thoughtful touches, coupled with plenty of original cuteness. Full of Queensland Charm this trendy Cottage has been beautifully updated while retaining lots of charming original character, giving you a true traditional Queensland holiday experience.

You will be hiring the entire place and lovely small tropical garden.

A short drive to beaches, river, parks, and walking distance to the fabulous Brick works Centre & Ferry Road Markets, a short step back from the noisy Surfers Paradise, it’s generally a very quiet family neighbourhood, but so close and convenient to all the Gold Coast attractions it is such a central location and is perfect for your stay.

Winner of QLD Pet friendly accommodation of the year in 2022 from HWD.

Finalist in the Stayz Accommodation of the year awards! Many Excellent 5 Star reviews from our previous guests.

Ideal for short or long breaks. Open plan living areas, Kitchen, dining room and lounge. 3 Bedrooms, queen beds in two bedrooms, and the third has 2 singles suitable for kids.

Great to entertain on the Alfresco covered deck which leads to a large patio, and BBQ area surrounding your private pool and lawn. Barbeque and Sun loungers make it a great family area. Being a traditional single story/low set Queenslander style home it does have that older vintage feel with an eclectic look, some original interior elements remain and some have been updated. Such as bathroom guest loo, laundry and kitchen.

The huge pool is very old and dated, the water is sparkling and the system is salt water 💦 making it lovely to swim in, with a quiet filter system to make your stay more comfortable. The pool has had an old paint job many years ago which didn’t improve its looks. It makes up for this with its size and most of our guests enjoy it, it’s perfect for the kids with a large platform step at one end, perfect shallow section. It’s a seasonal pool without heating so summer it’s great to swim in, but chilly in winter. It’s at its best in a sunny day. We get plenty of sunshine here on the Gold Coast

Access to the cottage: a slightly sloped, single but long driveway as pictured and 3 steps up to door, a step out to veranda, a single step into lounge. A mix and match of original and new features are part of the charm.

It’s not a modern clinical looking home, it’s got heaps of character and charm, and a very homely but uncluttered feel. UNO provided too! Your host is experienced and will ensure that the place is spotless and fully equipped for your comfort and convenience.

WIFI - NBN with a new modem and new smart TV

The most perfect home away from home! My husband, son and & I spent 9 nights at this cute little cottage. Fabulous communication from the moment we booked to the day we left. The little extras of the welcome gifts was much appreciated. Comfy beds & very spacious. Easy to get to and from the theme parks and other attractions. Shopping centre close by. We loved the fact it had a pool which we used almost daily! We will definitely keep this property in mind for future travels to the GC!

About the host

Hosted by Karen G

Host profile image
A seasoned host, consistently maintaining high standards to ensure my guests have the best time staying in my Cottages. I love the outdoors, and travelling, the Gold Coast is the most wonderful place to live. If you can't live here then why not visit, plan a trip soon.

Why they chose this property

Both of my cottages have the most welcoming atmosphere, they are full of character, and set up to ensure that you get the most from your stay, they are holiday homes that add to the whole experience. The cottage is more traditional and bright and fun, and the lodge is new and fresh with a good dose of luxury.

What makes this property unique

Home from home - completely! We have tried to think of everything that you might need. You are independent, each home is completely detached, with own driveway, and small gardens. There might be cheaper options out there but they rarely compete with the value for money we offer.
