I live on the Gold Coast but needed a few days away from home for a rest / respite. I can't believe I was so fortunate to find Jilly's lovely large spacious home with beautiful green acreage at the back to look out on from the relaxing covered deck. While having breakfast or a drink, you can sit idly watching the horses of the next property or Jilly's lovely water lilly covered lake with her many happy chooks, 2 very funny goats to entertain you and her gorgeous dog who will happily join you on the deck if you invite him to. The peace and tranquillity of this homestay infuses body and mind and yet paradoxically, is literally placed on the Gold Coast with absolutely everything a tourist / visitor would want to see / visit within minutes away. Jilly goes the extra mile with her care of her guests with a lovely warm welcome and then intuitively knowing and respecting if a guest needs space to rest up or is a little lost and so an invitation to join her and friends on a bar-b-q at the beach is not uncommon You can choose to have total privacy or join in the household. The super large spotless kitchen has plenty of room for your food in the fridge and cupboards and enough space for an army to prepare their own meals. Then again, shops and restaurants are only a stone's throw away as an alternative. I just can't believe that this jewel of a property still exists in the middle of the Gold Coast. It certainly is one of the best discoveries I have made and I have lived here 36 years! So no matter what you are looking for - a peaceful respite from the rat race, a solid welcoming base to visit friends or family that you have come to see, an oasis from which to explore the Gold Coast, or an adventure packed experience doing all the touristy things, this is perfect. Going to the movies with a very cheap meal after is the same unbelievable rate of staying a night here -such incredible value I haven't seen ever in my 36 years of living on the Gold Coast. My only regret is that others will find her too and I may have to wait in line :-( Until then, I will make it my rejuvenation place of choice. Who needs the mega expensive spas when Eden is on your doorstep? I can't thank you enough Jilly :-)
