The quality of this house is outstanding from the fittings and finishes to the top notch furniture and accessories. The views of the river and high rise beach front buildings are great and make for a perfectly relaxing get away.
The location is about a 20 minute walk to the nearest shops and bars down at Broadbeach. The bedrooms are off in a separate wing from the lounge and rumpus room so sleeping was great. (Although the master bedroom is quite light in the mornings as there are some windows off from the main room that do not have blinds, so choose one of the other rooms if sleep-ins are your thing).
The kids were highly entertained with the upstairs rumpus room providing Xbox, Tv and a pool table. The balcony up there also provides for a great place for morning coffee. Downstairs there is tonnes of space to unwind, chat, cook, read, watch tv etc.
Especially loved the lounge overlooking the pool, which lights up beautifully in the evening. There are pretty strict no party rules, which is fair, since the place is immaculate and they want to keep it that way. Not to mention the area is very peaceful so loud parties would make a lot of noise for the nearby neighbours.
The kitchen is huge and well appointed. Bring your own nesspresso coffee pods for the coffee machine as they don't allow knock offs and we could not find any real ones at the local supermarket.
We made a Christmas in July lunch for 8 people with no problem. Although the stove, oven and rangehood took a lot of fiddling about to get them to work properly. I recommend getting a lesson from the host before they leave, if you intend on cooking - it is certainly not intuitive. But easy enough once shown.
We will definitely come back. Highly recommended.
