A lovely peaceful homestay with a very clean organised home. Everything I needed was provided, and I had a bathroom to myself. Outstanding views from the 34th floor full height windows. A deck off the bedroom, with a TV provided. Lesley gave me a great breakfast that included muesli, coffee and toast. Lesley and her husband showed me around the building and how to get in and out. The 3 pools are exceptional, with 2 spa pools. Australia Fair is just over the road and Chinatown is a few steps away. Trams and buses are right there. I would definitely stay here again if I travel to the Gold Coast. Thank you for your hospitality!

Staying with Lesley was an absolute amazing time. The convenient location allows you to go to Surfers in less than 10 minutes, while you even have plenty of shops and restaurants around. The apartment itself is breathtaking, with stunning views and including access to a huge pool area. Lesley is a lovely host, that understands perfectly what her guests could need and always has an interesting story to tell! I enjoyed every single day of my stay and I'll definitely come back to the Gold Coast one day!
