ABOUT: Connect with locals and other travellers in a comfortable, affordable space just 8 minutes drive from the beach and freeway. Your private room offers a cozy Double bed within a spacious, relaxed home designed for a welcoming and restful stay. Note: We are in the final stages of some renovations (including a stunning new luxe bathroom and new outdoor deck), which is reflected in the temporarily reduced pricing.

Your host is a travel loving photographer who enjoys welcoming guests into a warm, cozy home. While the space is lively, it's also peaceful and respectful. You'll be welcomed like family, free to relax, chat, or enjoy your privacy. Bonus: there’s a friendly Jack Russell who loves to say hello. All rooms have their own key. This is a 6 bedroom home. Your Space Includes: 🌸 Cozy furnished room filled with natural light 🌸 New luxe shared bathroom (usable but complete in approx 2 weeks) 🌸 Fully equipped kitchen, beautiful lounge areas, verandah 🌸 High-speed WiFi , ideal for remote work or study 🌸 Onsite parking (where available) or street parking 🌸 A warm, welcoming Jack Russell who loves meeting new friends 🌸 Dog-friendly home (yard not fully fenced, so leashes are required if your dog likes to roam) Guest access: Come and go as you please. Your room is lockable. During your stay: While this is a friendly, shared home, we’re all busy going about our daily routines, so you’ll mostly have your own space to relax and unwind. However, the kitchen and communal areas naturally bring people together, whether over a meal, a shared love of travel, or just a friendly chat. Please make yourself a cuppa and feel like you’re staying in the comfort of old friends. We’re always happy to offer local tips and advice, and we genuinely enjoy connecting with guests. We love traveling and hosting, welcome to our home! 😊 Other things to note: Please consider this is a home stay when rating your experience, and consider our current renovation. The Resident Dog: You'll be greeted by Russell, our lively Jack Russell Terrier, who firmly believes that every guest is his new best friend. If you're not a dog lover, you might find his enthusiasm a bit persistent, he’s determined to win you over! Don’t worry, he’s not allowed on guest beds, so your space remains fresh and clean. Pets are welcome, though an additional cleaning charge applies.

About Buderim: I fell in love with the charming township of Buderim, a coastal gem that still feels like a quaint country town, not just another suburb by the sea. Be sure to visit Buderim Park for a peaceful stroll and a perfect vantage point to take in the unique setting of our lovely town.
