About this property
The House of the Rising Sun | Spa, Ocean views & nature.
Welcome to The House of the Rising Sun, a pet-friendly Gold Coast Hinterland hideaway inspired by the warm colours, textures and spirit of South America.
Inside, bohemian colours, artwork and special pieces from around the world create a soulful, welcoming space where guests from every culture can feel at home. Modern comforts include three queen bedrooms, a cosy indoor fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen, brand-new dishwasher, modern television, excellent Wi-Fi and reliable hot water. Bags of 20 klg of firewood are available to purchase for cosy winter nights.
As you travel away from the busy city, you'll enjoy the beautiful country roads, peaceful hinterland streets and stunning acreage properties, leaving the stress behind as you approach the property.
Wake to birdsong and sunrise views from the front, then enjoy glowing sunsets, forest and misty mountain views from the back.
Outside, the property is full of little experiences. Beside the dam, where ducks swim and kangaroos sometimes come to drink, you’ll find a brand-new modern spa in a fully fenced area, with powerful hydromassage jets and beautiful lights at night.
Nearby are outdoor seating areas, a pergola wrapped in greenery with a charming Chesterfield leather sofa and extra chairs, BBQ, large picnic table and a fire pit for marshmallows, stargazing and listening to the frogs singing around the dam after dark.
Children especially love our free-range chickens. When the chickens are out, kids can help feed them, spend time with them, and join in the fun of gently guiding them back into their secure area afterwards. When available, guests may also collect fresh eggs for breakfast. In winter, you can even enjoy juicy oranges picked from the garden.
You will definitely spot kookaburras laughing, cockatoos and, if you’re very lucky, an occasional koala and shooting stars.
The house sleeps six comfortably and is ideal for romantic escapes, family stays, girls’ getaways, writers’ retreats or simply a few peaceful days away with your pet.
Although it feels wonderfully secluded, you are still only minutes from Mudgeeraba, Robina, shops, cafés, charming restaurants, Springbrook Mountain, Theme parks and the southern Gold Coast beaches.
Close to everything, yet it feels like another world.

Thank you for your stay & your review.
I'm glad your family and yourself had a lovely time at the property.
Welcome back in the future.
Until next time,

We had a great time at this place!
Beautiful views eastward to the sea from the lovely steaming spa-bath, pretty flowers in the garden even in the middle of winter, fireplaces, incense, adorable duckies, nice lighting - just like in the photos! I loved the colourful bohemian decor

Thank you for your amazing review.
I would love to host you again in the future.

This home is comfortable and idyllic, set in the Hinterland with ocean views. This would have been a perfect getaway if our family was older. Our host was welcoming and helpful but this lovely property is not appropriate with young children.

Thank you for your review, much appreciated.
The property has the highest rating from families with kids of all ages. In fact, it welcomes all kinds of groups and pets!
Your family had 3 kids under 5 ( 1 was a newborn) and 1 kid a bit older.
The situation that you may have not found suitable has nothing to do with the property and more to do with the behaviour of the kids in your group as they were not listening to their parents. I know it was very challenging for their mum and dad.
There are plenty of great reviews from families with young kids which is great.
As a host I have the right to respond honestly to your review.
All the best 😊

The property is very clean, cosy and has a lovely homely feel. It was a great retreat for our family for the week. Ella was very welcoming and even had various food essentials ready for us. The birds made for good entertainment over the morning coffee, and our 2 young boys thoroughly enjoyed looking after the resident ducks. views from the garden are spectacular, and you can see the coast.

We absolutely loved the property. The place is in an amazing position in the mountains overlooking the sea (in the distance) it was serene and picturesque. The house was warm and welcoming with 3 large bedrooms. Ella the host thought of everything and was so friendly. It was such a beautiful time for us having a short break away. Definitely recommended
what a lovely long weekend my girlfriend and my 2 dogs had at this beautiful and peaceful property. Thanks go to Patricia who was there to greet us when we arrived and show us around. My 2 dogs loved swimming in the dam, and we loved soaking in the spa, a win win for everyone! The house was airconditioned and very comfy with some beautiful decor in the lounge room. Such a lovely stay, thank you!

Million dollar view, Big Duck was a wonderful addition, he's just like a big labrador, always wagging his tail. We loved seeing Mum duck hatch her babies. Log fire was wonderful. Host was lovely. We'll be back.

Thank you so much for your booking and for your review, it makes me happy that you enjoyed your stay, the views and the ducksWelcome back anytime..!Hasta la vista,Patricia
We had the best experience staying on this property. Our host was very accommodating,
there were so many inclusions, like washing up detergent, kitchen supplies, laundry supplies. We really just had to take out clothes and food. The inside fire place was so cozy, and there was so much firewood supplies which made it so easy. The spa was really lovely with the most amazing view. We had the choice to look after the chickens and ducks which we did. We were able to use the eggs as well.
We felt very welcome and our host was very friendly and accommodating, thank you 😊
