We only stayed one night on our way from Melbourne to Noosa, but this house left such a lasting impression that we’re already planning our return. The location is simply unbeatable — peaceful, private, and with direct private paths from the backyard straight to a stunning, almost hidden beach. Watching the sun set over the waves was pure magic. The backyard felt like a private oasis, with cosy outdoor furniture, charming lighting that made the whole space glow, and even a fabulous outdoor beach shower that was both fun and practical. The whole setup invites you to relax and unwind the moment you arrive. Inside, the house is spacious, spotless, and clearly cared for with love. Every corner shows attention to detail — from the thoughtfully chosen decor to the practical touches that make you feel right at home. Shellie, the host, has truly thought of everything. Her warmth and care shine through in every detail. We only wish we could have stayed longer — but one thing is certain: we will definitely be back. This place is a treasure. ##### Marina Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Vibe Hotel Sydney Darling Harbour](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Vibe-Hotel-Sydney-Darling-Harbour.h36379202.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Morris Sydney - Handwritten Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-The-Morris-Hotel-Sydney.h1738408.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Sydney by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-InterContinental-Sydney.h9035.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Sydney on Darling Harbour](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Novotel-Sydney-On-Darling-Harbour.h26579.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Sydney Darling Harbour by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Sydney-Darling-Harbour.h41523348.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Sydney](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Sydney.h15886.Hotel-Information) > > [Pullman Sydney Hyde Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Pullman-Sydney-Hyde-Park.h14111.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Sydney](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Sydney.h2220.Hotel-Information) > > [Aiden by Best Western Darling Harbour](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Aiden-By-Best-Western-Darling-Harbour.h67610514.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Rocks by Ode Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Harbour-Rocks-By-Ode-Hotels.h40904.Hotel-Information) > > [Veriu Green Square](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Veriu-Green-Square.h33512844.Hotel-Information) > > [Ibis Budget Newcastle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newcastle-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-Newcastle.h9627133.Hotel-Information) > > [Sydney Harbour Marriott Hotel at Circular Quay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Sydney-Harbour-Marriott-Hotel-At-Circular-Quay.h18811.Hotel-Information) > > [Paradox Sydney](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Paradox-Sydney.h564600.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Sydney Parramatta](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Novotel-Sydney-Parramatta.h17525.Hotel-Information) > > [Meriton Suites Mascot Central](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Meriton-Suites-Mascot-Central.h15130172.Hotel-Information) > > [Pullman Sydney Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Pullman-Sydney-Airport.h15271653.Hotel-Information) > > [Rydges Sydney Airport Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Rydges-Sydney-Airport-Hotel.h5932305.Hotel-Information) > > [The Grace Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-The-Grace-Hotel.h460380.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sebel Quay West Suites Sydney](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-The-Sebel-Quay-West-Suites-Sydney.h460471.Hotel-Information) > > [Meriton Suites Sussex Street](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Meriton-Suites-Sussex-Street.h25019183.Hotel-Information) > > [The Urban Newtown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-The-Urban-Newtown.h9140131.Hotel-Information) > > [SKYE Suites Sydney](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-SKYE-Suites-Sydney.h24507540.Hotel-Information) > > [Rydges Australia Square](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-The-Tank-Stream.h11718621.Hotel-Information) > > [PARKROYAL Darling Harbour, Sydney](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-PARKROYAL-Darling-Harbour.h22576.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Sydney](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Hilton-Sydney.h16892.Hotel-Information) > > [Shangri-La Sydney](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Shangri-La-Sydney.h11974.Hotel-Information) > > [Meriton Suites Kent Street, Sydney](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Meriton-Suites-Kent-Street.h19290784.Hotel-Information) > > [Wake Up!
