The Moana Park Residence
Perks for the Parents
A stylish, contemporary residence with plenty of relaxation space and a heated outdoor pool, less than 5 minutes’ drive from some of the Gold Coast’s most stunning beaches. It sleeps 5 + 2. With bright and airy open-plan style living all on 1 level, there’s plenty of space for the kids to play/explore safely while parents enjoy some peace. Outside, there are 2 landscaped garden areas including a heated pool (with a pool gate for added safety), overlooked by a sheltered alfresco lounge so the adults can relax whilst keeping an eye on any kids splashing about. Inside, there’s a 3-meter marble kitchen island as well as a 6-seater dining table for leisurely breakfasts and evening family gatherings. The primary bedroom has a kingsize bed as well as its own ensuite with a luxurious walk-in shower, and there’s a roomy stone bathtub in the second bathroom for parents in need of a relaxing soak. For exploring the local area, the hosts provide bicycles and there are playgrounds as well as small group of shops within walking distance, offering up coffee, groceries and several takeout food options for those seeking a break from cooking.
Why Kids Love it
Kids will find countless toys, books and games for all ages, as well as plenty of garden space with outdoor sports equipment including a basketball ring and soccer goals. The outdoor pool is heated so younger ones can swim and splash about in comfort, and there are 3 depths to accommodate babies and toddlers as well as more confident swimmers. The kids’ bedrooms are warm and bright with playful decoration and space to play, and there's a huge wall mounted TV in the living room for movie screenings and downtime. For those needing more space to run around, the residence backs onto a park, and there are also playgrounds within walking distance. Beach babies have Broadbeach within a 30-minute walk, or 4-minute drive, with wide stretches of sand perfect for little ones to play on, as well as excellent surf for older kids and teens into water sports. The hosts have a Leander crib, a Stokke highchair and a Bugaboo Fox pram available for families with small children.

Style Notes
Bright and breezy. This light and airy residence has relaxed coastal retreat vibes. High ceilings and whitewashed shiplap walls are blended with warm oak floors, and sisal style carpets to provide a cozy, homely feel. The bathrooms are chic and contemporary with wall mounted brass taps, large walk-in showers, herringbone tiling and classic stone features including a freestanding bath tub. Modern vibes are weaved through to the sleek kitchen and the stylish but minimalist living room with classic and comfortable furnishings. We love the landscaped gardens flanked by lush parklands featuring beautiful jacaranda trees that provide a lavender-coloured canopy above the rear garden in the spring.
