Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Southport

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.

Gorgeous home in an ideal location. Super comfy beds and lovely furnishings. Could not be a better spot if you want to leave the car at home. Chevron Island, the local precinct has everything you need and some excellent little restaurants.

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!

Alex was great, very responsive and a wonderful host. The house is beautiful & peaceful. The house has all you need and feels like you are at home.

We honestly do not know where to start. This place is perfection. Emma & Tim have created the most perfect accommodation you could possibly dream of. A perfect home tucked away in a quiet street, a short drive from all the local attractions/restaurants. With a beautiful bush outlook off the balcony, a heated spa and fireplace on the deck, you could quite possibly never leave. We spent an afternoon doing 'paint n sip' on the balcony and it was bliss. The accommodation is stunning with everything you need. It became a running joke when looking for something we needed in the cupboards, to find it and say "Of course Emma has that here for us". Poor Tim got no credit! We stayed for a week and did not want to leave. The house was immaculately clean and literally had everything we needed. There was even fresh bread and wine waiting for us! A huge bonus was that the home is dog friendly. I could write about this place for days. It was literally the BEST! Thankyou Emma & Tim xxx

A great little place and a short stroll from the water. The house was exactly as described. We had a great time. Fiona is a lovely host and good communicator. Thankyou

Our family stay here was absolutely perfect. Ryan and Eniko were lovely hosts who were so responsive, accommodating and kind. The property was wonderful and perfect for our big family with young children. Any questions we had were quickly answered by the hosts which we were very appreciative of. If we went to the Gold Coast again, we would definitely stay here!

We had a lovely stay at David's space in Mermaid Beach. The location was perfect, less than a 1min walk from the beach and a 10min walk to the heart of Broadbeach where there are restaurants and plenty of activities. The private pool was a lovely bonus that we unfortunately didn't get to enjoy due to some bad weather. We didn't have any issues during our stay, but communication with the host was easy and friendly. Would stay again!

I had a great stay at this place during my trip to the Gold Coast. Everything was more than just good – the cleanliness, comfort, and overall setup exceeded my expectations. The check-in and check-out process was smooth and hassle-free, and the place looked exactly like the photos. The host was responsive and helpful throughout the stay. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the area. Great experience overall!

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!

Great stay. Convinient location and helpful hosts

I stayed for over a month in JJ’s place. I highly recommend this studio — it’s very well located and extremely comfortable. I felt very at ease, and my experience was wonderful. JJ is also always available and very responsive. Thank you so much!

We had a wonderful stay at Han's apartment. Right in the middle of everything, near to beach and well designed apartment layout. Super clear instructions, hassle free check in and a really beautiful apartment with great views. Han was responsive always. Great stay!

Christopher's place was great. Such a handy location to everything. It was clean, comfortable but most importantly for us it was super dog friendly. There was a lovely private grassed area out the front with a kennel and shade. We could go out knowing she was very safe in the yard. Christopher lives next door, but certainly does not encroach on your privacy...unless you want to have a chat, hes super friendly and very obliging. We would've stayed longer had we been more organised. I'd definitely stay again if the need ever arose 🙂

An all around perfect stay with the best views (and rainbow lorikeet watching), walkability, and overall comfort! Truly lived like locals for a month long stay and the apartment was well-equipped and felt like home. We will be back!

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.

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!

Aaron’s place was great. Beds were comfy, you’ll feel right at home. It has an amazing view of the city and the ocean. It’s close to the beach and shops. We had an awesome stay!

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!

Great location wonderful home great value for money
