The Roy is a striking three-bedroom, two-bathroom luxury apartment built for exactly this kind of moment. Sleeping up to 6 guests, it pairs generous indoor living with one of the most impressive private terraces we manage anywhere in Melbourne, elevated enough to take in both the city and the Albert Park Grand Prix circuit at once.

If you’re after a luxury Melbourne apartment that works just as well for a family getaway, a group trip, or a corporate stay, The Roy is built to do all three properly.

About the Stay

Inside, The Roy is light-filled and open-plan, designed for groups who want real space to spread out, not just a room to sleep in:

It’s the terrace, though, that sets The Roy apart. Oversized and fully set up for entertaining, with outdoor dining, comfortable lounge seating and a BBQ, it’s an extension of the living space in its own right, with an elevated outlook over the Melbourne cityscape and the Albert Park Grand Prix circuit that makes even a quiet night in feel like an occasion.

Sleeps Up to 6

• Bedroom 1: King Bed, with ensuite (shower and toilet)
• Bedroom 2: 2 Single Beds
• Bedroom 3: King Bed
• Main Bathroom: Bath and shower combined, plus toilet

Two full bathrooms between three bedrooms means mornings stay easy, whether it’s a family group, a set of friends, or colleagues sharing the apartment for a work trip.

Melbourne’s Iconic Grand Prix Circuit, Right Outside

The Roy’s terrace looks directly over the Australian Grand Prix circuit at Albert Park, home to Formula 1 in Melbourne since 1996. It’s a genuinely rare outlook, and an exceptional spot for Grand Prix weekends, when the circuit and surrounding parkland transform into one of the biggest events on Melbourne’s calendar.

Even outside race season, Albert Park is worth the view alone: a 225-hectare public park just 3 kilometres from Melbourne’s CBD, built around Albert Park Lake, with walking and cycling paths, picnic areas and open parkland that draws locals and visitors year-round.

Beyond the terrace, The Roy’s Melbourne location puts the city itself within easy reach, whether that’s a short trip into the CBD or simply taking in the skyline from home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Riverside Retreat is a spacious, light-filled family home on the water in Bundall, just 3 kilometres (about a 5-10 minute drive) from Surfers Paradise. This is the kind of stay where the “getting there” is as good as the “being there”, enough space to spread out, and enough location to reach everything else with ease.

About the Stay

Sleeps Up to 8

• Bedroom 1: King Bed, with ensuite (shower and toilet)
• Bedroom 2: Queen Bed
• Bedroom 3: Queen Bed
• Bedroom 4: Tri-Bunk Bed
• Upstairs Bathroom: Bath, shower, toilet
• Downstairs Toilet: Half-bathroom for guests and day visitors

Two full bathrooms plus a downstairs powder room mean mornings never turn into a queue, a genuine plus for a house built for groups.

Right on the River, Minutes from It All

Bundall sits along the Nerang River, at the quiet, leafy heart of the Gold Coast, and just a few kilometres from the buzz of Surfers Paradise. It’s a rare combination: waterfront calm with the beach, restaurants, and nightlife only a short drive away.

Culture lovers are close to HOTA, Home of the Arts, the Gold Coast’s parkland arts precinct set beside Evandale Lake. Racing and events fans can head to the Gold Coast Turf Club, while Pacific Fair Shopping Centre covers everything from groceries to a full day of retail therapy. And if it’s a stay in the heart of the action you’re after, this home is also self contained accommodation on the Gold Coast worth comparing against the wider region.

Every AirKeeper property is looked after by a real, local team, not a call centre.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sandbox House is one of the most striking properties we manage in the Blue Mountains, and one of the few genuinely built for a big group to do it properly. Set in Wentworth Falls with a private bush trail running straight from the backyard to the falls themselves, this is a glasshouse-inspired retreat that sleeps up to 14 guests across five bedrooms, without anyone feeling like they’re squeezed in to make the numbers work.

If you’re after large group accommodation in the Blue Mountains that doesn’t feel like a compromise, this is exactly that kind of property.

About the Stay

Sandbox House is a genuine architectural standout: recycled timber cladding, soaring ceilings, and an open-plan living space that feels more like a gallery than a holiday rental. Floor-to-ceiling windows mean the bushland outside becomes part of the room, in every direction, from every angle.

It’s the kind of property built for big family reunions, milestone weekends, or a group of friends who actually want to spend the trip together, not scattered across separate hotel rooms.

Sleeps Up to 14: Genuinely Built for Groups

The five-bedroom layout is what sets Sandbox House apart from most Blue Mountains stays, which tend to top out well before this kind of scale:

• Bedroom 1: Queen bed, with air conditioning
• Bedroom 2: 2 single beds
• Bedroom 3: 2 single beds
• Bedroom 4: 2 bunk beds (sleeps 4)
• Bedroom 5: Triple bunk (double + single) plus a single bed (sleeps 4)

That mix means real flexibility, whether it’s grandparents in the queen room, kids piled into the bunk rooms, or a group of friends spreading out across the singles. It’s a layout built around how large groups actually travel together, not a one-size-fits-all room repeated five times.

A Private Trail to Wentworth Falls, and the Best of the Blue Mountains on Your Doorstep

What makes the location genuinely special is the private bush trail running from the property directly to Wentworth Falls, one of the Blue Mountains’ most photographed waterfalls, without needing to drive anywhere first. NSW National Parks describes Wentworth Falls as a three-tiered waterfall dropping around 187 metres through Blue Mountains National Park, with walking tracks ranging from a short stroll to a full day in the valley below.

From there, the rest of the Blue Mountains is close at hand: Lincoln’s Rock for sunrise views, Scenic World and the cable car, Katoomba Falls, and the iconic Three Sisters are all a short drive away. NSW National Parks notes the Three Sisters, best seen from Echo Point lookout, stand on Gundungurra and Darug Country and are one of the most recognisable formations in the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area. For a change of pace, the village of Leura, known for its boutique shopping and gardens, sits just up the road too.

It’s the kind of setting that turns a group getaway into an actual Blue Mountains holiday, not just a big house with a view.

Managed to a Standard, Not Just Listed

Every AirKeeper property, Sandbox House included, is looked after by a real local team, not a call centre reading from a script. That means the presentation stays consistent between stays, small maintenance issues get caught early, and the same standard applies whether it’s a couple’s first booking or a group of fourteen for a big family week.

For Blue Mountains owners weighing up their options, this is usually what shows up in reviews and repeat bookings over time: not just how a property photographs, but how well it’s actually looked after once the bookings start rolling in. If you’re curious what separates good hosts from great ones, we’ve written about what makes a great Airbnb host in more detail.

Frequently Asked Questions

We manage a lot of beautiful stays across Queensland, but Oceancrest Coolum Hideaway has the kind of relaxed coastal luxury that makes it feel instantly memorable. Set in Coolum Beach on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, this stylish multi-level retreat brings together ocean views, generous interiors, outdoor entertaining and a resort-style pool terrace, just a short walk from the beach.

If you’re looking for a Coolum Beach stay that feels private, spacious and polished, this is the kind of home that turns a Sunshine Coast getaway into something special. Oceancrest sleeps up to 11 guests across 5 queen bedrooms, a sixth single-bed study retreat, and 3 bathrooms, making it ideal for families, groups, multi-generational holidays and anyone wanting a Queensland holiday rental with real room to settle in.

About the Stay

Oceancrest Coolum Hideaway is designed for relaxed coastal living on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. The home is spread across multiple levels, with spacious living areas, multiple balconies and ocean views from every level: a stylish Coolum retreat with a private resort-style pool terrace, sun lounges, breezy outdoor spaces and room for families, friends and pets on approval.

Inside, the home feels open, airy and comfortable, with multiple lounge and dining settings giving guests plenty of room to come together or enjoy quiet moments separately. Outdoors, the private pool, deck areas and alfresco dining spaces make the property feel like a true Queensland escape.

It’s the kind of property made for long lunches, pool days, morning walks to the beach, sunset drinks on the balcony and slow Sunshine Coast holidays with the people you actually want to spend time with.

Just a Short Walk to Coolum Beach, Sunshine Coast

Location is one of Oceancrest’s biggest strengths. The home is a short 5-minute walk to Coolum Beach, on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, giving guests the ease of a beachside holiday without sacrificing space, privacy or comfort.

Coolum Beach is one of the Sunshine Coast’s most loved coastal pockets. Sunshine Coast Council describes Coolum Beach as a family-friendly surf beach that’s patrolled year-round, with nearby parks, a boardwalk, restaurants, cafés and takeaway food outlets.

For guests, that means the stay can be as easy or as active as they like: walk to the beach in the morning, head out for coffee, spend the afternoon by the pool, then come home to a spacious private retreat instead of a standard apartment or hotel room.

Sleeps Up to 11, Perfect for Families and Groups

Oceancrest is especially well suited to families and groups who want the convenience of a Coolum Beach, Sunshine Coast stay with the comfort of a full home. The bedding layout includes:

• Bedroom 1: Queen bed (ensuite bathroom with bath, shower and toilet)
• Bedroom 2: Queen bed
• Bedroom 3: Queen bed
• Bedroom 4: Queen bed
• Bedroom 5: Queen bed
• Bedroom 6 / Study retreat: Single bed, with a private door

The study retreat is a useful extra space for a teenager, child, extra guest or quiet nook. This layout makes the home a strong option for family holidays, friend getaways, wedding guest accommodation, longer Sunshine Coast stays and groups looking for a luxury Queensland holiday home with room to spread out.

The Magic of a Coolum Beach, Sunshine Coast Escape

Coolum has that easy Sunshine Coast rhythm that keeps people coming back: relaxed, coastal and connected to nature, while still offering the practical things guests want close by.

Visit Sunshine Coast notes that the region is home to a long coastline of bays, coves and main beaches, including Sunshine Coast beaches counted among the region’s surfing favourites.

Nearby, Mount Coolum National Park is another major drawcard. Tourism and Events Queensland notes that Mount Coolum’s dome dominates the Sunshine Coast lowlands, with an 800-metre track leading to the 208-metre summit and 360-degree views stretching from Point Cartwright and the Glass House Mountains to the south, Blackall Range to the west and Noosa Heads to the north.

That mix of beach, nature, cafés, walking trails and ocean views gives Oceancrest broad appeal. Guests can enjoy the best of Coolum, then retreat to a private home with the comfort and scale needed for a proper group stay.

Why This Property Stands Out

What makes Oceancrest Coolum Hideaway special isn’t just the pool, the views or the location. It’s the way everything works together.

It’s close enough to the beach for easy mornings, spacious enough for families and groups, and elevated enough to feel like a luxury Queensland holiday rental rather than a standard beach house.

Managed to a Standard, Not Just Listed

Every AirKeeper property, Oceancrest included, is looked after by a dedicated local team, not a generic call centre. That means presentation is checked between every stay, maintenance issues get caught before they become guest complaints, and the same standards apply whether it’s the first booking of the season or the fiftieth.

For Queensland owners comparing options, this is usually the difference that shows up in reviews and repeat bookings: not just how a property looks in the listing photos, but how consistently it’s cared for once bookings start coming in. AirKeeper’s Sunshine Coast management covers exactly this, from professional photography and listing creation through to cleaning coordination, maintenance, and guest support.

Guests can expect self check-in, clear arrival information, professional cleaning, guest verification, and support throughout the stay, backed by a licensed real estate agency, not just a listing service.

For property owners, Oceancrest is also a strong example of how a luxury Queensland holiday home can be positioned for lifestyle appeal, guest comfort and short-term rental performance. You can review AirKeeper pricing to see what’s included.

If you’re searching for a Coolum Beach stay that offers more than a standard beach holiday, Oceancrest Coolum Hideaway is a standout choice. With ocean views, a private resort-style pool, multiple balconies, spacious interiors and room for up to 11 guests, this luxury Sunshine Coast holiday home is made for families, groups and relaxed coastal getaways.

Frequently Asked Questions

Wahroonga House is not just another Sydney holiday home. It is the kind of property that makes a family gathering, a milestone weekend or an extended stay feel effortless, spacious and genuinely memorable.

We manage a lot of beautiful properties, but this one has something special. Set within Hunters Hill, one of Sydney’s most tightly held and leafy heritage suburbs, Wahroonga House offers luxury accommodation in Hunters Hill with scale, privacy and a true sense of place, just moments from the harbour foreshore and a short drive from the Sydney CBD.

With 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and space for up to 7 guests, this beautifully presented private estate is perfect for families, professionals on extended stays, groups travelling together and anyone searching for luxury holiday rentals in Sydney that feel more elevated than a standard short stay.

About the Stay

Wahroonga House is a rare blend of privacy, scale and understated luxury. Set behind manicured gardens in one of Sydney’s quietest harbourside pockets, the home has been thoughtfully presented to offer the comfort and finish guests expect from a premium Sydney stay.

Inside, the home feels considered, generous and effortlessly liveable. Think a dedicated cinema-style entertainment lounge, multiple living zones, a sleek contemporary kitchen and a quiet workspace for guests who need to stay connected.

It is the kind of place made for long summer afternoons by the pool, relaxed evening gatherings on the deck, quiet mornings in the garden and comfortable evenings in front of a film.

Sleeps Up to 7: Perfect for Families, Executive Stays and Groups

Across four bedrooms and three bathrooms, Wahroonga House is ideal for guests who want space, comfort and flexibility. The bedding configuration includes:

• King bedroom (with ensuite bath, shower and toilet)
• Queen bedroom (with ensuite toilet and shower)
• Queen bedroom
• King single bedroom

This layout works beautifully for families wanting family accommodation with real space, professionals booking executive rentals in Sydney for work, groups planning a weekend house rental, and guests looking for a longer, more settled stay.

The multiple living zones are a real advantage. Guests can come together in the entertainment lounge for a film night, gather around the kitchen and dining area for long lunches, or spread out with room to retreat and unwind separately. In warmer months, the pool and alfresco deck make the home feel like a private resort. Year-round climate control means the home is just as comfortable in winter as it is in summer.

Moments from Sydney Harbour, in One of the City’s Best-Kept Secrets

The location is one of the biggest reasons this home stands out. Among the many options for accommodation in Sydney, Wahroonga House places you in one of the city’s most exclusive and leafy harbourside suburbs, just 9 kilometres from the Sydney CBD, and a genuine alternative to standard Sydney accommodation in the CBD or inner-city apartments.

Hunters Hill sits on a peninsula where the Lane Cove and Parramatta Rivers meet the harbour, giving guests easy access to waterfront reserves, historic sandstone architecture and a genuinely village-like pace of life that feels a world away from the city, while remaining close to it.

Nearby, guests can explore Clarke’s Point Reserve for harbour and bridge views, walk the waterfront at Boronia Park, or take in the heritage streetscapes that make Hunters Hill home to one of the largest collections of standalone sandstone cottages in Sydney. The suburb also marks the starting point of the Great North Walk, for guests who want to explore further afield.

It is Sydney harbourside living without losing the feeling of a private, considered escape.

A Private Estate Made for Special Stays

Wahroonga House is more than a Sydney holiday rental. Its scale, privacy and elevated finish make it a beautiful choice for stays that feel a little more important, whether that is a family milestone, an extended work stay or a considered group getaway.

It is especially well suited to families wanting space to spread out, professionals needing a comfortable base for a longer stay, and groups looking for refined accommodation close to Sydney’s harbour and CBD without the compromises of a standard rental.

Whether you are planning a family gathering, an extended stay, a corporate trip or simply a private Sydney escape, this home offers the right balance of privacy, comfort and location.

We manage a lot of beautiful stays, but this one is different. It’s a complete escape, not just a holiday. Tucked away on Pittwater’s western shores, our 5-star waterfront retreat in Coasters Retreat brings the journey, the setting and the home together into something genuinely memorable.

Coasters Retreat is one of Sydney’s true waterside hideaways, set inside Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. No busy roads, no traffic noise, no everyday rush. You’ll arrive by ferry, water taxi or private boat, which gives every stay here a sense of arriving somewhere private, peaceful and wonderfully removed from city life.

Palm Beach Ferries calls Bennetts Wharf and Bonnie Doon the gateway to Coasters Retreat, with the route travelling through Pittwater and Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park.

About the Stay

Set across three split levels with a separate studio, we designed this home to suit its Pittwater setting: large windows, open-plan living and multiple balconies frame the water and bushland from almost every angle.

It’s the kind of place made for long lunches, BBQ dinners and sunset drinks over Pittwater in summer, and cosy fireside weekends in the cooler months.

Sleeps Up to 10: Perfect for Families, Groups and Special Getaways

Across four bedrooms and four bathrooms, this Coasters Retreat holiday home suits families just as well as groups of friends, multi-generational stays, or anyone planning a special waterfront escape.
