Holiday rentals with a kayak in Queensland

The island was great, perfect if you want to get away from it all. The property was spacious and in a great location.

We stayed at this beautiful air bnb with our extended family, 8 adults and one baby. The space was huge and accommodated us all easily. The home is beautiful with stunning canal views and the space was so clean but gave off a really homey feel. There is so much to do at the home, we didnt even really need to venture out. The location is great, a short drive from Caloundra and Mooloolaba which leaves you with endless options for day trips and food. I highly would recommend to anyone looking for a air bnb around this location. We cannot wait to come back!

What an amazing location!!! We felt very spoilt staying here. We enjoyed 2 nights with hubbys parents and it was perfect. Big house, and although it was too cool to swim the kids were still entertained by the pool table and fishing off the pontoon, and the nearby attractions (fyi- the laser tag about 8 mins up the rd is fantastic!) The house was clean, spacious and homely. Kitchen had everything we needed and multiple dining areas to suit every mood. Beds were super comfy, and the double shower was amazing!!! It was so nice to a quick break away and spend our mornings and evenings out the back on the deck overlooking the canal and feeling jealous we didnt have the energy of the locals who were out there paddle boarding up and down all morning. Lucy was extremely helpful with questions and ensuring we enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend and we have already started planning trips back to stay again on our next opportuntity for a quick getaway. Thank you Lucy

We had a wonderfully stay at Bens accommodation 😊 It was so lovely to take our doggos on holifay with us 💕 Lots to see and do. Beautiful little cafe just accross the road with yummy burgers. Ben has thought of many things to make yoir holiday pleasent and fun.

Beautiful location on the lake. Definitely a place set up for large families or even multiple families to stay. Probably a bit of overkill for just two friends but, it was a great stay. Lots of amenities and activities.

This was one of the nicest stays I’ve had at Straddie! It was such a cozy and comfortable home with the nicest chill-out spaces. It was super close to the pub and the bowlo, and a really short walk to the beach. Cannot flaw it. The host was super nice as well and very accomodating. We are definitely booking this again for our next Strad trip!

Thank you for an unforgettable stay, Jillian! Seascapes was such a peaceful place to be and my partner and I felt relaxed as soon as we arrived. I really appreciated all the little touches of home that you have made throughout the house. I had the best sleep of my life with the fresh air and soothing sounds of the rainforest, and it was just lovely to feel so isolated yet a short drive from some great attractions in the Daintree. Also, I need to buy myself a hammock now! I could have stayed in that hammock on the verandah with the ocean view for days on end haha. Thank you again for providing a welcome escape to nature.

The house exterior may look like typical home but inside is filled with well equipped kitchen, play/leisure equipment & cozy comfortable living room. The house can be spilt into private 2 units which give more options for 2 families. Walking distance to lake. The nearest restaurant/grocery is 15-20 min drive away. Overall enjoyed the 3 nights stay with a family of 7.

We had such a wonderful stay at Dave and Sallyanne's cottage. The little touches like a bottle of wine and marshmallows to roast made us feel right at home. The hosts were so friendly and provided us with local suggestions during our stay. We would absolutely stay here again!

Private, peaceful and well equipped barn style with lovely design. Cosy, comfortable, clean and central to maroochydore and Bli Bli areas. Pot belly fire was excellent cool nights. Coffee, chocolates a nice touch. Jo was always happy to help if needed.

We really enjoyed our stay at Valerie's cottage. The cottage had everything we required to make our stay comfortable. It is within walking distance to cafes and a lovely foreshore. Valerie checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed and asked us to contact her, if we required anything. We will recommend the cottage to any friends coming to Brisbane and if we travel to Brisbane in the future, we will definitely book Valerie's cottage.

We stayed at Tim’s place as we were attending a friend’s wedding at Maroon Hill Estate. Our Adult family joined us. We thoroughly enjoyed our mini getaway and family catch-up. It would have to be one of the best appointed Airbnb we have stayed in. We thoroughly unwound together attended the wedding, visited the wineries, and cooked pizzas in the pizza oven and sat around the firepit! It was exactly like the pictures and more. We will definitely be back, not to mention how beautiful the Boonah town is as well. Thankyou for opening up your home Tim. We loved it!

Quaint and quiet. So close to the beach you can hear the tide coming in.

We really enjoyed staying at Raven House, it was a great way to relax. Cynthia was very helpful and accommodating. The house was beautifully furnished.

Andreas place was perfect for a little getaway. We needed somewhere to stay while at the blues festival. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The only problem was the pot holes in the streets from Bangalow.

We, 11 visitors, had an absolutely wonderful 4 days at Ripples. It was a Family Catch Up as we don’t live close to each other and Ripples was the absolute best choice in accommodation as it catered for not only the adults, but the nearly adult kids as well. Fishing and Kayaking were big hits and sitting on the lovely little jetty fishing as the sun went down, showed the most beautiful picturesque view over the water that you could ever imagine. Thank you so much Sharon.

What a pleasure it was to stay at Paul and Julie's place! We loved the location on their property, being able to hear the ducks and birds, and then being able to go for a stroll around the property to meet the sheep, goats, chickens and of course, the very welcoming dogs! We loved every minute of our time there! Both Paul and Julie were wonderful to chat with and time quickly went by while we were deep in conversation about Julie's garden and chocolate business. We wouldn't hesitate to stay again as the location was within short driving distance of Palmwoods which had the surprising restaurant Piggyback - amazing asian inspired food in a casual environment (think Spirit House quality and flavours in a more casual environment). Thanks Julie and Paul for sharing your little piece of the world with us :-)

Tranquility was at the top of our holiday list in Cairns, and our stay or Wendy’s and Glenn’s didn’t fall short of our expectations. The comfortable layout of the space was most welcomed and the architectural design sat beautifully against the landscape. Highly recommend!

Can’t wait to come back. This cabin was perfection. Had the best night sitting by the fire. Laura was so great to deal with. The fire kit and kitchen stocked with eggs/fresh bread and cooking appliances was such a nice touch.

What a great place to stay. Lovely views, very peaceful, and better than the description. Would highly recommend this place

the stay was beautiful and we had a great time, so happy we were able to bring our dog and he loved it. Bonnie left very clear instructions for how to get in to the property (however i wasn't able to see the byron built signs mentioned), and how to checkout. check in and out process was smooth. the airbnb was immaculately clean and beautifully styled, perfect for a couples getaway. also props as it is very disability friendly. really great amenities available with a really well stocked kitchen, BBQ, and utensils. the surrounds and property were beautiful and backed onto a beautiful creek which wouldve been perfect for swimming if it had been sunny. only note is that it was described to be private/secluded. although we had no issues with it, the next closest unit was only around 50m away and when the people staying in the unit returned they were able to see into the lounge room of our unit quite well. very minor criticism as this didn't bother us at all.

We had a relaxing time at the cabin, so peaceful. Jodi and Jonah’s little piece of paradise is well worth a visit. The ducks and goats were so cute. We will definitely be back.

We had a truly lovely and relaxing stay at this beautiful retreat – the perfect escape from the city. Kerry and Barry have created an idyllic place for guests to unwind and reconnect with nature.The property is teeming with wildlife – we spotted wallabies, water hens, ducks, and even caught a 45cm catfish in the lake! The serenity here is incredible. Amy discovered the lake sits at a crisp 20°C after falling in during a paddle-boarding attempt, but fortunately, the 37°C spa was the perfect way to warm up afterwards.Every detail has been thoughtfully considered to make your stay comfortable and memorable. We’re already looking forward to returning and can’t recommend this retreat highly enough!Thank you again, Kerry and Barry! P.s sorry I just remembered we forgot to put the fishing rods back where they belong! Apologies – Brent and Amy

The cabin was lovely. The photos give a good representation of the place. Everything was clean and modern with a nice feel to the place. Looking out over the green with the sound of the running creek nearby was peaceful. We lit a small fire in the fire pit but it didn’t last as after the rain our wood was a bit wet. It was a great spot for it. The trampoline, soccer net and cubby would be great for kids. Internet is a bit patchy at times but it didn’t really affect us. There were Alpacas that raced to the fence to see us several times, 2 hairy Scottish cows and a couple of friendly horses that we patted which added to our country experience. Killen Falls is a 5 minute drive up the road and it’s not far to Lennox Heads, Ballina or Byron Bay. We had a great 2 night stay.
