View over canals from kitchen
This canal front residential property is available for short term rental making it an ideal base from which to explore the many attractions in and around the Gold Coast.
It's also close to Pacific Fair, Carrara Markets and a 7 day supermarket at Coco's.
This property has 5 spacious bedrooms, 3 bathrooms (including one with a spa bath), 3 large living areas and a huge kitchen with dining area. It's a 2 storey house with 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and a large living area on the second level.
With 2 double beds and 8 singles there was ample sleeping room for ten people and also for the visitors who came and crashed on the lounge over the the two weeks that we were there.
Outside there is a big patio BBQ area overlooking a private swimming pool and the canals. There is also a private jetty to moor a boat, go fishing or just to feed the local ducks that visit each day looking for scraps of food.
The property cost us AU$1,650 per week but this was equally divided amongst three families making it a very economical stay. It worked out cheaper than staying in hotels with more room than we knew what to do with. Check out the attached website for current pricing and availabilty.
Unique Qualities: A huge property, a great location and a perfect place to stay for large groups to make it an economical alternative to hotels.
Address: Fitzwilliam Street, Carrara
Comparison: least expensive
Directions: Off the Broadbeach-Nerang Road in Carrara.
Price: less than US$20

Upstairs living area
This house is a well appointed modern home with excellent facilities inside and out. The kitchen comes will all mod cons including oven, microwave, dishwasher and all pots, pans and cutlery.
In fact the view to the canals from the kitchen sink was so superb that we were queuing to clean the dishes.
The laundry comes with a washing machine and a clothes dryer.
The two living areas come with TV, DVD and plenty of chairs. The downstairs TV was connected to Foxtel so the kids can watch all the Disney and music entertainment they wanted.
If I had to make one complaint it would be that the hot water storage unit held only 300L of hot water. This sounds like a lot until you have 10 people trying taking a hot shower after using the dishwasher or washing machine.
Unique Qualities: Handy hint : Take all your showers before usung either the dishwasher or washing machine. And plan using the spa bath well in advance as it alone holds close to 300L of hot water.
