great stay
everything was great except the walking down the side to get to unit.
hard to bring our belongings and one of our guest had a wheely walker. It was difficult for her to walk on the gravel. perhaps the pathers could be together in a straight line and not apart. This would also be good for bringing things in. overall it was a happy stay

Dirty and cramped
The floor was dirty when we arrived which we had to clean. Then we were told to put the bins out. Insulted by being told to leave the place neat and tidy which we always do.
Access was appalling through two gates and down a narrow path with no lights. Further blocked access when neighbours parked enormous boat on driveway and we had to push through wet bushes to get to our room. Nothing was done about it. We were not told prior to check in we had to park on the road.
I would not reccomend this place.

Small, tidy, modern Kawana Getaway - pet friendly
We stayed 3 nights, during Easter school holidays. 2 adults, 1 teenager and our dog. Property is small but clean and modern. Combined living, dinning area plus kitchenette in one room, plus master bedroom with large en-suite (shower and toilet), separate second toilet. Kitchenette has microwave, cutlery and crockery, but no stove or oven. Sink is (weirdly) outside. Basics like coffee, tea, longlife milk, salt, pepper, gladwrap, provided. Fold-out couch ok. No air-con in living area, ceiling fan only. Bedroom air-conditioned. Bed comfortable. En-suite not separated by a wall, so you're effectively sitting in the middle of the bedroom when you use toilet (no biggie). Linen and towels provided. Built-in cupboards, with extra sheets and blankets. Shower good, soaps/shampoos provided. Private courtyard behind, with small covered patio and paved area. BBQ and outdoor dining table. Clothesline. No grass for puppy. Lighting for back area is problematic, on a sensor, keeps turning off while you're out there. But there are torches and candles you can use. Property is part of a larger house, but completely separate. Parking is on street. Patrolled beach accessible from the next street over, <5 mins walk. Access to off-leash beach at Buddina also very close. Kawana shopping centre, with Woolies/Coles, coffee shops and takeaway options also within walking distance. Didn't appreciate host trying to sell us pillows through Stayz private DMs. All in all, nice spot, would stay again.

Great location and very pet friendly with courtyard.
A lovely clean and comfortable stay, with a great private courtyard and comfortable bed in a quiet street close to shops and the beach. Really great for humans and pets alike.
The only downside was that it advertised a kitchen when there wasn't one, except, fridge, microwave and outdoor BBQ, which was communicated after booking was made.
However, overall, a great stay.

Enjoying Buddina
We enjoyed our stay in this accommodation. The venue is very well situated and close to the beach, shops and food areas. Buddina is a great spot for both humans and dogs. There are leash off beaches as well as patrolled areas for families.
The house itself was large enough for the two of us and our two medium sized dogs. There would be little room for additional guests though.
Our dogs are happy to hang around us and so they did not need a large area to run around in and thus, were happy outside on the deck. We did not realise that there was no grass though and this was a bit of a shame for the dogs.
For the humans though, the deck area is very private and we felt very secluded in the lovely garden.
We knew there was no full kitchen but if we went again we would take my daughter’s advice and would take the air fryer to add variety, as we spent a lot of money eating out in the end. We would also take extra microwave containers, so that we could eat in more.
I think we would choose to go back to this venue though as, on the whole, considering accessibility and price, it was a good place to stay. It was clean and tidy and easy to keep in good order.

Lovely little place, my husband is not good on his feet, but we managed, the shower was very slippery, I needed to put the foot mat down in the shower, was afraid of falling, a hand rail in there would be a definite help.

We loved our stay in this cute little studio for 10 days. The BBQ was a bonus, we could ride our bikes along the beachfront, walk to the shops, cinema, eateries. We felt very safe in our secluded garden. For us, the best part was being able to stay with our cat - he travels with us full time - he slept in the garden during the day and only had to worry about the odd bird annoying him. We would definitely stay again.🤗 communication was excellent.- the bottle wine was also a winner .. Thankyou for having us.
