Off to the Zoo
Natalie’s home is comfy and welcoming . We enjoyed the very homely feel and settled in easily. Natalie’s communication with us throughout the booking process was exceptional. We enjoyed a visit to Australia Zoo and visiting the beaches and Eumundi markets . We travelled with teenage kids , who enjoyed the myriad of games in the house! We found Natalie’s home a very economical option for us with a well set up kitchen and local shops for grocery etc very convenient. I’m sure we’ll be back Thanks Nat 🤗 We

Cute house
Nat was a gem. She was super friendly and checked in often without being overbearing. The house was cute and cozy. The location is fantastic, being within walking distance to the IGA and the bakery. The local bakery is definitely worth the trip. Their coffee is great, and all their bakery items were delicious.

Property is not maintained and has mould in bathroom.
Property was not maintained and not clean. There was mould in the bathroom. Air cond unit in bedroom did not work correctly due to dirty filter. Due to damp bedding, had to buy new sheets for bed. As dryer did not work. Outside was not mowed and stuff in the yard, making unsafe for my dog. We stayed one night and left as it was unsafe for my dog and I got sick from the mould.

Friendly family home
The house was well-appointed and friendly, even if a little quirky. The back verandah was a lovely place to chill out and look over the view. The host was lovely - when our gas bottle ran out she was there within minutes with a new one. Shops only a short stroll away. Very convenient. Only 25 min to beaches and less to Australia Zoo.

Australia zoo holiday
Nat's place was great and so close to Australia Zoo for our 2 days there. It felt homely with a firepit out the back, a nice big verandah for chillaxing and games and books, trampoline, bikes and balls for the kids 8 and 10. Nat always communicated well and went out of her way to make sure we were happy with everything during our stay, and was very hospitable even leaving a few extra treats for us. Good location in town too with IGA, Bottle-o, Indian takeaway, Bakery and more just a short walk. Thanks again Nat for a memorable family break

Homely comfort in Mooloolah
Had not heard of Mooloolah valley prior to staying but had a pleasant experience with small shopping strip with everything we would need, a very good playground for those with young kids, and close enough to both Maleny and the coast (pretty much half an hour from everywhere). Property has a lovely feeling of a home rather than anything sterile. To help others be prepared: -there is SO much included within the property, if I had my time over again I would check with the owner before packing things. As an example, the portacot, high chair, stroller we squeezed into the car were completely unnecessary. -Conversely, small absences to note would be the dryer isn't functioning (but laundromat is a couple of minutes walk), and there is only one air conditioned room and the heating function doesn't work (quilts are very warm so this would only be an issue if you, like us, have a little one not in a bed yet). Overall, would definitely recommend for future travels.

Lovely old Queenslander home, perfect for a family
We only had 2 nights and the first was very heavy rain, but when the sun came out we drove to Caloundra and enjoyed the easy access to the beach. Great experience.

Nice and relaxing
The property provided our family of 6 with a quiet, cozy and well appointed house to enjoy. The house itself has a spacious yard and deck, with a covered downstairs area for children to play. The location is very close to shops and in a quiet little street. We were very pleased with the property and the helpful, friendly communication with the property manager.

Easy family holiday
With IGA so close, and the house well equipped, it was easy to relax, knowing that our needs could be well met. We used the local Chinese and pizza places, and the nearby hospital at Caloundra had a good outpatient service. Nice and quiet for sleeping, spaces for family to be together or chill out apart, this property ticks many boxes for parents organising children of all ages.

A beautiful, old, cosy home to rest and relax
My family and I needed a mid-term break to rest a little and this place was perfect for that. It's so homely and in a great little spot right near the Main Street and only a short drive to the swimming spot at the dam. Perfect!

My family and I (including my 4 and 1 year old) loved our stay at Natalie’s house.
Natalie was extremely helpful by offering use of a pram and safety gate for the back verandah. Natalie responded to my messages quickly and was very easy to communicate with. The house is in the perfect location, close to everything we needed - especially our morning coffee fix! We visited Australia Zoo and Caloundra beaches during our stay - both so close. I would highly recommend Natalie’s place.
