Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in South Stradbroke

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.

Aside from a clean and welcoming home every little thing we needed was on hand. We did use a lot of firewood

Nestled in the tranquil enclave of Tamborine, this expansive and private residence boasts a stunning pool with panoramic vistas stretching to the Gold Coast hinterland. This wonderful place offers an idyllic retreat from the relentless pace of modern life, providing the perfect sanctuary to disconnect, rejuvenate, and immerse oneself in nature. We were particularly taken by the inviting ambience of the home, which encourages leisurely moments spent within the generous grounds, savoring the breathtaking scenery and serene natural surrounds. Also the balcony affords a spectacular sunrise further enhancing the sense of wonder and tranquility that defines this remarkable getaway. Probably the best place to stay on Mt Tamborine!

We had a wonderful stay at this cosy mountain retreat in Tamborine! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that every detail had been thoughtfully curated – from the charming decor to the well-equipped amenities, everything was designed with comfort and care in mind. The peaceful surroundings and warm, inviting atmosphere made it the perfect place to unwind and spend quality time together. Our family created some truly special memories here, and we’re so grateful for the experience!

Roger was a great host. He welcomed us with a warm smile and gave a tour of his place. His place is beautiful. The backyard was great to hangout. We also got to pick some fresh fruits. The house was very clean and well equipped. Would 100% return for our next stay.

Maria's place was excellent. There were 5 of us staying for 5 nights, and we were very happy with the place. Clean, well appointed, and easy to live wth. the pool was clean and tidy. The main living area was great. Beds were comfortable. Highly recommended.

We absolutely loved our stay at this island Airbnb! The amenities made it feel like a true retreat—especially the stunning water views from the deck, perfect for morning coffee or sunset wine. The kitchen was fully stocked with cooking essentials, and the cozy bed with soft linens made it hard to leave. Best of all, it was just a short walk to the ferry, shops, and restaurants—super convenient without needing a car. We can’t wait to come back!

Our second stay in Shawn’s place and we will return again. Beautiful house in a great location.

Great little unit, great location, easy access to beach, perfect location to catch tram either direction. Several close by coffee spots and "locals". Previous reviews of noise and earplugs provided but didn't need them. My only negative was single beds suitable for small children not taller. Would definitely stay again as previously stated, great little unit. Vadim provided excellent communication throughout the whole experience. 5*****

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!

Taree is a great host, she was always responsive and provided great support with every little detail making our stay a great experience. The place is pristine, greatly located, nice views and excellent cafes/ restaurants a few meters away, for sure one of those destinations that we look forward returning and recommending. Thanks Taree, you made things clear and easy for me and my family!

Really enjoyed our stay and David took on board some feedback. Would definitely come back again.

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!

Staying at Sally's was amazing, even though you were close to a main road you could barely hear the traffic from it. Extremely walkable to so many amenities just 3 blocks from the beach with a view that was beautiful to wake up to and watch the slingshot attraction at night. My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back at a later date to further explore the Gold Coast and all it has to offer. thanks again Sally for opening your studio apartment for us to stay 😁

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

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!

Di and Nick’s place was perfect. Beautiful views and spotlessly clean. So easy to get to and from the airport by bus. Easy walk to restaurants and cafes. Easy walk to the beach. Would definitely stay again.

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!

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.

Aaron was a fantastic host , would absolutely recommend. Super friendly, great at communicating and making a stay at his place super easy. Fantastic location, fantastic amenities, and the place was tidy and homely.
