Trusting, Open minded, Helpful
I like to interact with my guests if they are comfortable with that. I am also happy to show them some of the sites of the gold coast if time permits.
On a typical day...
I'm an early bird.
When I host guests...
I’m helpful and hands on. I can show them where to go and help them get there.

My home is an average size townhouse with a lovely court yard with close access to the swimming pool.
It is very peaceful and serene with quick access to the highway yet far enough so you are not disturbed by traffic.
Air conditioning downstairs with a ceiling fan in the bedroom as well as built in cupboards, desk and a very comfortable queen size bed. The bathroom is shared with my daughter and I.
Bus stop is straight out side the complex with shops a short walking distance away.
The home is in the suburbs with beaches around a 12 min drive away.
We are very well travelled and love hosting to international travellers and learning from them.
I hope we see you soon.

I am happy to share some cooked meals in return for cooked meals. I am predominantly a plant based consumer and prefer someone similar but will make an allowance.
A key deposit may be required and will be returned on return of the key.

How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.
When do I pay?
Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) using a choice of payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal (not available in certain countries). You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.
When can I share my contact details?
Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
