Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Surfers Paradise

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.

Tony was a brilliant host, gave so much useful information and was very responsive with any queries we had. The house is absolutely fantastic, the view is absolutely stunning and beautiful to wake up to. Would visit again!

A lovely home in a stunning location! It’s is walkable to all of what Palm Beach has to offer but you honestly never need to leave - and because of the views you will never want to leave! The perfect place to spend the weekend.

Second stay at this amazing place! Kynan was very responsive to our queries and the house is set up so well. Love the location on the water with beautiful morning and evening views.

We found this place very well presented, with everything you could want to make your stay comfortable from laundry to kitchen and relaxing in the lounge or on the front porch.

Ash’s place was fantastic to stay at. It was big enough so all the girls could get ready for the wedding, but still felt cosy enough to snuggle up with each other and watch a movie at the end of the night. Ash was really friendly, and very responsive :)

Amazing place, so close to the Gold Coast but not feeling like the coast, the outlook is so relaxing, the fire pit and wine, so good!

We stayed here for a girls weekend away and absolutely loved it! The house was absolutely stunning- even more beautiful than the photos, which truly don’t do it justice. It was spotless, stylish, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was also perfect- close to everything but still felt private and peaceful. The host was so lovely and responsive, always quick to reply and super helpful with anything we needed. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again! 💕✨

Thanks to Karen and Michael for a very comfortable stay! We felt very at home from the minute we walked in and had really restful sleeps. The place is super kid friendly and our 18 month old was very safe and comfy too. It has great kitchen appliances, we appreciated all the little welcome chocs, snacks and breaky foods, and all the good quality bed and bath things. Can’t talk highly enough about this airbnb! Would stay again.

Very great location, parrots on the balcony, ocean view and sunset amazing. all ammenuities and clear informations. we appreciated our stay.

Great location, great place, great host!

Absolutely loved our stay – it was the perfect romantic escape for our anniversary. The apartment was spotless and had everything we needed to feel right at home. One of the unexpected gems was the adorable little café right outside the building. Waking up and grabbing a fresh coffee and breakfast without having to go far was such a treat! The location couldn’t have been better. A short, scenic stroll along the beachfront had us at the the local shops in just a few minutes. And let’s talk about those views! Waking up to ocean glimpses and golden light pouring in was magical. Secure parking was a huge plus too, giving us total peace of mind while we explored on foot. This place ticked every box we required for our short stay – clean, convenient, private, and right in the heart of everything. Thankyou Sophia x

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!

Shaleah was very responsive and helpful throughout, and the apartment was spacious, well located and had beautiful views. Will definitely recommend!

We recently spent 7 nights at the Meriton Suites in Surfers Paradise and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The high-floor, two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment was exactly as pictured, clean, maintained, and filled with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The floor-to-ceiling windows showcased breathtaking views of both the ocean and the Gold Coast city skyline. Waking up in the main bedroom to the sunrise over the ocean was a daily highlight, there was no need to use the blackout blinds with such a spectacular view. The apartment was well-equipped with thoughtful touches, a full kitchen, laundry facilities, and plenty of essentials including kitchen and bathroom supplies, beach towels (x8), tea towels(x2), paper towel, salt, pepper, oil, laundry detergent, shampoo/conditioner, and more. It really helped minimise the need for extra shopping. The indoor residential pool, spa, and sauna on the 33rd floor was a highlight, most of the time we had the entire pool to ourselves.

Possibly the cleanest and most uncluttered airbnb I've stayed at. Essentially a hotel room with a few extra bits. Location is hard to beat - view of the ocean, walking distance to everything in Surfers Paradise, tram line right at the door for going further. Stayed here for an AFL game and the bus stop that goes to Nerang was right outside the building. Perfect.

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!

We had a lovely time, the space worked really well for us. And Thankyou to Aliyah for being so prompt when we had a question. I would thoroughly recommend this place to stay. 👍

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.

We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Great location!

We really enjoyed our stay—the view was stunning, the place was comfortable, and the location was perfect. The hosts were responsive and helpful, especially during check-in. One issue we encountered was that the TV browser had visible pornographic search history, which was inappropriate and made us uncomfortable. It would be great if the TV could be reset between guests. Overall, a great stay—9/10!

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!
