Gold Coast Retreat on acreage-close to attractions

Our guests have told us that our place is a little bit special. Our self contained Colonial Style Studio Apartment is situated in a separate building, set on our acreage property. It's perfect for guests who want to visit the GC but prefer to leave the bright lights and retire to accommodation which offers peace and tranquillity. A country retreat but located close to all attractions and beaches. Jamilia, named after our children, Emilia and James, is a self contained Studio situated on the first floor of a detached dwelling within our acreage residence. The Studio has a private entrance and is independent of the family home where we live. It has a fully equipped kitchen for 2/4 people, with bar fridge, small electric bench-top oven (available on request), separate two burner hob and microwave. There is also a BBQ for guests to use with separate gas hob. If you prefer to eat out, guests can enjoy the many varied restaurants on the Gold Coast. The apartment has Canadian wood flooring and is tastefully decorated with wood panelling and furnished in Victorian pine. The Bathroom has a corner shower with bath enclosed and free-standing Victorian Washstand. There is a television with free Netflix for our guests and free WiFi. One area of the studio is furnished with a Cast Iron Victorian double bed and there is a fold away single bed and travel cot which can be prepared if guests have a child or baby. Host services are available if required and negotiated separately, including fresh towels for long-stay guests and laundry facilities.

The family reside on the property in the neighboring low set Colonial home and there will be someone at home during the day to assist guests with any questions or offer advice on tourist attractions and restaurants. We can assist with booking any tours if guests wish. Please don't hesitate to ask anything either prior or during your stay. We are here to help and please don't think you are a bother. Some guests have stayed and have enjoyed the complete privacy the Studio offers and some like to interact with our family. The choice is yours. We will not disturb your privacy if that is what you prefer, however you are welcome to interact with our family if you wish. Our property resides in Pioneer Downs, a leafy, open suburb of Worongary with neighbouring residences which are predominantly acreage. We are positioned around 20 minutes from Surfers Paradise, Main Beach and other tourist attractions, allowing a country lifestyle, without being too remote. Guests can go through the tourist information we have provided for ideas on things to do or we can assist you with planning your days before you arrive. Our guests will need transport to get around. You may catch public transport once on the main road, however this is a 10 minute walk. PLEASE READ: As our family live in the neighbouring colonial house on our acreage, there is the usual activity as we go about our daily lives. The Studio is in a separate dwelling above the garage and office and has a private entrance. I work from home and have an office underneath the studio, however access is via a separate entrance. Our dog, Holly also shares my office during the day. On your arrival and when guests return to the Studio during their stay, Holly may bark as she hears a strange car, however she quickly becomes used to our guests as they come and go during their stay. She loves people :) Although we live on acreage, we have neighbours. We offer our Studio as a peaceful retreat and when guests stay, we limit any activity which may cause a disturbance, however at times, we are unable to control noise which may be made by neighbours as they go about their DIY or gardening during our guests stay.
