Fabulous Accommodation

This is the 3rd time we’ve stayed with Karen and Antony at Coastal Runaway. It’s just perfect for the three of us - two adults and our fur baby. The studio is very well equipped, the bed is comfortable and the location is brilliant; walking distance to the beach and shops.

We really enjoyed our stay. Only thing I would suggest is putting up blinds on the front windows as there is houses on the hill and you cannot get changed.

Great location and hosts

We stayed for 5 nights and thoroughly enjoyed it. Karen and Antony were fantastic and are just the best hosts. We liked it so much that we are going back again in a couple of weeks for a longer stay. We had the studio apartment which had everything we needed for our visit.

About the host

Hosted by coastal runaway- Karen

Host profile image
My husband, Antony and I have lived in the Gold Coast since 2014. Originally from the beautiful country of New Zealand we moved here for the glorious weather!
We love living in Australia and have become citizens here, but we are strong advocates for both here and New Zealand- except when the All Blacks are playing Australia !
We love travelling, the sea, and of course meeting new people!
We have two small white fluffy doggies- Ted and Sonny who also love to meet everyone.
