Visit Vineyards from an Architect-Designed Mountain Retreat
The most beautiful space to call home for the weekend. Laurie was so helpful during check in while it was raining. The space was very clean and tidy and backed onto the peaceful garden. Would love to stay again!

Adorable 2 bedroom guest house with pool access
Everything is really good and as expected, but sometimes I need to clean the swimming pool by ourselves due to uncontrollable animal activity. I will definitely consider to stay at this place next time.

Mountain Tree House
Kim’s place was clean, comfortable and a lovely quiet spot. Kitchen was well equipped, and clean. Fans would be good in the bedrooms as it gets quite stuffy and warm. There are alot of mosquitoes so make sure you bring repellent. The cockatoos and Lorikeets will greet you in the mornings. Very entertaining for kids and adults. Overall, a lovely weekend. Thanks Kim.

Large private home with Firepit
We had the most incredible stay at this beautiful English-style house! It was the perfect setting for a group getaway—spacious, stylish, and so well-equipped with everything we could possibly need (and more). The surrounding nature was absolutely magical. We spent our mornings with a coffee in hand, listening to the creek running and the birds singing—so peaceful and grounding. The whole place had such a calm and welcoming energy, and it made our time together truly memorable. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind, reconnect, and enjoy a little slice of nature in total comfort. We'll definitely be back!

Modern Palm Beach getaway to suit whole family
What sets hosts apart is how they respond when there’s a problem during the stay. Kim was super fast when we needed help, much more responsive than the superhost norm. Very impressed - thanks! (Also- their place makes exploring the Gold Coast really easy. And you can self cater really well in the well equipped kitchen which saves a ton!)

Simply Paradise
Amazing place! Very spacious, especially the kitchen and living area. Well equipped with board games, sports equipment, and everything you could need in the kitchen. Very clean throughout. Handy location and fantastic having the tram right outside. Highly recommend!

19th FLOOR TWIN QUEEN BEDS IN UPMARKET HOTEL

Superb 3BR Apartment Pool Wi-fi 2 Park opp beach
Lisa was very friendly easy to communicate with. The apartment was in neat and tidy condition, was in a lovely location. Shops and tram stations were close by which was handy.
Your guide to South Stradbroke Island
All About South Stradbroke Island
Off the Gold Coast of Queensland, South Stradbroke Island is often referred to as South Straddie, or its Indigenous name of Minjerribah. Only a few hundred metres from the mainland, it’s accessible via a private boat, ferry, or water taxi, and is the most southern sand island in Moreton Bay.
South Stradbroke is made up mostly of sand dunes, though there’s also rainforests, mangroves, and mudflats to explore. It’s a gorgeous location for spotting wildlife, including Australia’s only colony of golden swamp wallabies, and you can also often see humpback whales passing by between July and October. The eastern side of the island has a decent surf break and is popular with wave riders and jet-skiers, while the calmer, western side is an ideal spot for boating or fishing. There are also plenty of great places around South Stradbroke to simply relax and watch the sunset.
The best time to stay in a holiday rental in South Stradbroke Island
South Stradbroke island is a pleasant place to visit at any time of year. Summer is the most popular season, especially over the school holidays, with daily temperatures usually hovering around 26 degrees Celsius. Humidity can be high and it’s common to have thunderstorms after long, hot summer days. Autumn is a lovely time to visit, when it’s cooler and drier but the water is still warm enough for a dip. Spring is also quite mild, with average temperatures of around 23 degrees, but days can be windy. Even winter is fairly mild on Stradbroke Island, with temperatures rarely dipping below 20 degrees in the middle of the day.
Top things to do in South Stradbroke Island
Quandamooka history
The island has a long Indigenous history, starting with the Quandamooka people, who lived here some 21,000 years prior to European settlement. Today, there are local tour operators who can take you on a guided walk of the island, and teach you about the Quandamooka people, including their approach to medicine and hunting techniques.
North Gorge Walk
There’s no more efficient way to experience the unspoiled beauty of South Stradbroke Island than by taking the North Gorge Walk — a 1-kilometre trek that starts at Point Lookout and runs along the headland. The views from here are spectacular, and you’re likely to see all kinds of marine life, including whales, dolphins, manta rays, and turtles.
Wildlife spotting
Nature looms large on this island, and there are plenty of ways to appreciate the native wildlife from a safe distance. See a colony of golden swamp wallabies that congregate around the North Gorge Walk, as well as koalas hiding in the trees. There’s a good chance you’ll see dolphins at the jetty at Amity Point at sunrise and sunset. Throughout winter and spring, you can also often see migrating humpback whales.
