    The stay with Chantal was great, she was very helpful and always available for a quick chat. The location is amazing, you're very close to a bus stop from where you can get anywhere. You're in Burleigh Beach in 20 minutes by bus. The house is beautiful, and even has a community pool, which was great for cooling off in the hot temperatures. Varsity Lakes is super nice, lots of beautiful houses and it's surrounded by Lake Orr which is great for walking!
    I can absolutely recommend Chantal, she is a great host. You have everything you need at her place and if you don't, you can always ask her!

    We stayed with Chantal for a couple of months and she is a very lovely person and we felt very at home with her. We’re grateful for the time that we spent with her as we were really struggling to find somewhere to stay and she sorted us right out. We’ll miss you!

    Before I booked with Chantal, I was desperate to find somewhere to stay and o couldn’t have found a better place! It’s like I’ve met the right people to the right time. Chantal is an absolute caring, supportive & amazing host and goes out of her own ways to make you feel at home and comfortable. I’ve extended my stay for another 5 weeks and it was the best decision!

    Pleas let me tell you first.
    I would like to stay next time, so it would be a problem if it became very popular.
    But I want you to staying here.
    The house’s food is excellent.and they are kind so I was happy.
    All room is very cleaned and I can watch Netflix
    But the best thing is that you let me sleep slowly in the morning.

    I honestly cannot say enough good things about my stay here. Both hosts were the most genuinely kind and welcoming people and made me feel so at home the entire time. Not only is it incredibly good value for money but your stay will be nothing but comfortable in a chill and happy home environment with literally everything you need on your doorstep. If you are a long way from home like myself, I would 1000% recommend booking a stay here, you wouldn’t regret it at all.

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) and a 25% deposit using a choice of payments: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal. The deposit is collected in advance on behalf of the host to protect against no show or late cancellations (within 7 days of arrival). You then pay your host the balance due on arrival. The 25% deposit payment is made to the host 2 business days after your scheduled arrival date. This deposit payment will only be refunded if you cancel the booking at least 7 full days prior to arrival.

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.
