    We stayed at Artist’s Retreat nearly 6 weeks. We adore Tom, Natsui, Gina, and their whole family. We were treated like valued friends, rather than a tenant. There were some minor repairs that were needed during our stay, and Tom was quite prompt in addressing the items we mentioned. The location is charming near Thomas Drive. And the restaurants, chemist, and grocery store are only a short walk away, with staff being exactly the right amount of friendly and helpful. Oh, and if you are there long enough that you need your hair done, go see Karina at Hair Trix and Company. She cut and colored my hair and did an amazing job. Last, there is a super sweet neighborhood cat that visits several times per week. House rules are not to let it inside, which was easy to follow.

    Lovely property with amazing art the pictures dont do the size of the living areas justice,,open plan with plenty of room for the family .The owners are very helpful and quick to respond to any problems and are easy to communicate with. Very close to all amenities with just a quick walk to the local shops and a leisurely walk to the beach.

    We were drawn to the the art work and every day was a pleasure as our eyes gazed around every room , The position was perfect easy access to everywhere we planned to visit but also just relaxing days spent at home sunning ourselves in the garden ,The place was quite and peaceful very relaxing and yet the hussel and bussel was just minutes away ,We will remember our time there for many reason

    Tom & Gina's place was fantastic. Perfect location & a comfortable walking distance of the beaches, cafes and nightlife. We highly recommend staying here on your next Gold Coast holiday. Thank you, 10/10!

    We had a 2 week stay here, the house is very spacious and close to everything. The only negatives are insufficient hot water and very poor water pressure. Could be a problem with the freezer as our food was thawing out. Apart from that excellent

    The location was fantastic and it was wonderful to live in a house vs an apartment. The property owners were very helpful too. It would have been good to have more kitchen bowls, serving plates, beach towels, books and games to have in the house as we were visiting from overseas. We would definitely stay there again.
