Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Helensvale

We had an incredible stay at Waterfall Drive, Wongawallan. The property is an absolute haven — tucked away in the scenic Gold Coast hinterland, yet still close enough to shops and coastal attractions. The home itself is spacious, beautifully maintained, and designed to make the most of the surrounding natural beauty. Waking up each morning to the sounds of nature and expansive views of the rolling hills was a true highlight. The outdoor areas are stunning, perfect for relaxing with a coffee or wine, and the peaceful atmosphere makes it feel like your own private retreat. Inside, the layout is both functional and luxurious — ideal for families or couples looking for space, comfort, and privacy. The kitchen was well-equiped.

We had a splendid stay at this lovely cottage nestled at the bottom of Mount Tamborine. The setting was incredibly tranquil, even with the rain, the peaceful atmosphere only added to the charm and relaxation of our stay. The cottage itself was beautiful, well-kept, and thoughtfully designed with great amenities that made us feel right at home. Andrea was a fantastic host, welcoming, and very accommodating throughout our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and will definitely be booking again. Highly recommended for a serene getaway!

We were 3 families with 3kids aged 4, 7 & 9. Rooms; Sufficient rooms in the house for each of us and they provided a cot in case we needed it as well. Rooms were spacious and bed was comfortable. Beds & pillows: Bed wasn’t soft like most Airbnb but was firm so I would say good beds actually. Pillows were firm as well and we liked it. Location was fantastic. A serene and safe compound. I had the opportunity to wake up early and go for a jog around the compound. There is a park right outside the house for walks and jogs which lets you have a good view of the whole complex. We even saw a kangaroo on the last day at the park! Cleanliness: house was clean except for dead ants daily which is good because the ants wouldn’t crawl into the kitchen area literally. Dead ants were at windows area, but it was all good. Overall, location and surrounding is fantastic. The master bedroom is on its own while the other 3 rooms were at the other end of the house which is good for us 3 families.

We absolutely loved staying at the stargazer, the location was perfect, from the amazing pizza oven, fire pit, animals and bathtub. It exceeded all expectations and Robi was the most amazing host, so friendly, so responsive, would love to come back

Since it was my first Airbnb experience, I couldn't have asked for a better host! Amy was fantastic, always quick to respond and incredibly helpful. The home was just as lovely as the pictures. Overall, it was an amazing stay! Will definitely be back again 🥰

The environment was absolutely lovely, and the outdoor space was very comfortable. The bedding was incredibly soft – I usually struggle with insomnia, but I slept really well during my stay. Highly recommend staying here! Here’s a photo of the table setup from one of my meals at the restaurant for reference.

Great little secluded and comfortable place to stay. Close to cafes and shops, and was surprisingly quiet for being in town.

Beautiful quiet area. Really nice and easy to relax after a long day. Also they were really accommodating and easy to talk to. Would definitely stay again if I’m in the area.

Beautiful little oasis to kick back and experience nature. So calm and peaceful. Absolutely loved staying there, we will be back for our next visit to Mt Tamborine. We were provided daily breakfast for us to cook which was a wonderful extra touch. Jo is very friendly and kind, thanks for a having us!

The apartment gets ample sunlight, we went in june so it was nice to get sun in the morning Tram stop is about 5 mins walk and so is easy to travel by public transport even late at night. The apartment was well kept and clean. We had asked for an extra mattress for the kid, which was provided with sheets

Lana was super lovely, very accommodating and easy to communicate with. The place was very clean on arrival and great location. Pet friendly which was amazing for us as we are traveling with our cat!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Self check in was easy to access, apartment was clean and comfortable with a beautiful view of the ocean. Amenities in the hotel building were lovely; pool, spa, sauna and gym. The location was perfect, close to endless cafes, activities and the beach. No parking available on site however ample overnight parking available at Bruce Bishop Carpark less than 5 minute walk away and reasonably priced. Would definitely stay again!

Sooo great! Super close to restaurants, shopping, and the beach. Sally is super helpful and kind as well- I would definitely recommend staying here!

Due to my late arrival at the apartment and none of the convenience stores are open. Susana was so proactive and offered to help and get us some milk and soda. We arrived after midnight and Susana's partner, Graham, met us at the reception and showed us to the garage. The apartment was spacious with a stunning view of the ocean. Good location and close to the tram station, easy access to all the spots.

Being our 4th stay with Graeme & Wendy, we felt right at home. Always a pleasant stay and always very accommodating-look forward to our next time.

Loved the pleasant stay! The check-in was very smooth and easy. Due to flight re-arrangements, we had to arrive late, but Cecile who picked us up, was kind enough to cater to our timeline and also helped us navigate from the airport. The place is well-equipped with most of everything that you need. You can work, wash, clean, cook and relax with ease! You will also wake up and be greeted by an amazing view, helping to super charge your day ahead. Overall, we had nothing much to complain about. It's a stay that is totally worth it! :)

Beautiful unit. Photos don’t do it justice. The view is absolutely spectacular and all the finishes were incredible! The bed was very firm (ok for husband not for me) and very squeaky when rolling over during the night. The balcony and the way it opens up provides a beautiful breeze and the fans are wonderful on those warm nights. Jason was wonderful to deal with and very quick to respond. Wish we didn’t have to leave but will return. We met friends for dinner and drinks and they loved it also and will also come stay here next time!

We really loved the location of Sammi's place, super close to shops, beach front and restaurants/cafes. Plenty to do, but also a great spot to relax and watch the waves roll in. Everything was accounted for and we felt right at home as soon as we stepped through the doors. Definitely recommend this gem and will return!

We had a really good 4 night stay. Great location, walking distance to everything. Check in was easy, clear pictures on where to find the keys. Good accom if you have little ones as in the cupboard there were a bucket and shovel, scooters and boogie boards provided. The only downside was there was a smell that lingered around the whole time and no hot water the morning we were checking out so could not shower.

Great place and Brad is very responsive!

Perfect place for a couple getaway! Great location, close to the beach, shops, cafes and restaurants. We watched the sunrise and sunset from the balcony each day! Amazing views. Both hosts were very responsive and easy to communicate with. Till next time!

Very easy process. Quick responses. Great location. Value for money. Highly recommend Martin and the apartment.

We had a lovely stay! Unit was clean and well appointed. Everything we needed! Pod coffee machine was a lovely touch. Nice quiet area and close to everything. Darinka was very responsive and communication was great. Our only issue was that someone had parked in our space one evening but Darinka helped us as much as she could. However, the after hours number to call for the resort itself were not helpful at all which was disappointing. Would definitely stay here again! Thanks Darinka!

This place was very close to everything including restaurants, beach and Pacific Fair is a short walk.
