2 small hiccups during our stay but the host was very kind and responsive. We had a great time and kids absolutely loved it.Catered for our whole family, Adults, teens and little ones.
The property was first class. So much room, great outdoor area including the pool with slide, kayaks, fishing gear, trampoline. The games room was a big hit and the whole property catered for a 1 and 4 year old, and 8 adults. Bonus was the short walk to coffee, shops and restaurants and a bus if needed.
The service we had from the Welcome Ready Team ,from the time we booked until we left the property was fantastic.The accommodation was excellent and I would highly recommend staying at Parrearra Paradise.We had 4 couples and 3 children and the property accommodated all of us so well.

Thank you for the fantastic feedback! We’re thrilled the Welcome Ready Team and Parrearra Paradise met your needs perfectly. We’d love to welcome you and your group back anytime!
We had the most special Xmas and loved everything about the home. It was spacious, comfortable, it came equipped with everything and so much fun with the pool and slide, kayaks, and the games room that both kids and adults loved. So close to everything you need, beaches, coffee shops, grocery shops and so much more. I would highly recommend this beautiful home to everyone and can't wait to come back.

Thank you for your lovely review Hayley, we are so glad to hear you had a great stay over Christmas. We hope to host you again soon! - Melanie & Verena
We had an amazing week staying at this house with the whole family! It truly has something for all age groups. The men loved the fishing, the grandkids had endless fun on the slide into the pool, and the games room was a big hit for everyone. The location was perfect too, with a big shopping centre and movies just around the corner. The house had everything we needed and more – comfortable, spacious, and packed with entertainment. We absolutely loved it and will definitely be back in the future!
The house is located close to all amenities and only a short walk from the beach. Being on a canal and having direct access for water activities was perfect. The property has everything you need for a short or long stay, in particular the kitchen is superbly appointed. The kids bunk room, games room, pool with waterslide and kayaks are perfect for families. The host was very responsive to a couple of minor issues and they were quickly resolved.Overall this is one of the best holiday homes I have stayed in.

We’re glad any minor issues were quickly resolved and are thrilled to know this was one of the best holiday homes you’ve stayed in. We’d be honored to welcome you back anytime.
We loved our stay at Parrearra Paradise. The house was clean and comfortable and very tastefully decorated. It was a few minutes’ walk to the local shopping centre and to the beach so the location was perfect. The kids loved the pool and the slide was a big hit. We stay in a lot of holiday houses and this was definitely one of the best. I have never stayed anywhere that was so well equipped. I would definitely recommend this property and would love to stay there again.

We're so glad you enjoyed your stay Sheila!
We look forward to hosting you next time! Melanie & Verena.
Centrally located just one block off a main arterial and from all the shopping you'll need, yet very quiet and peacefully located on a canal with a private dock. 9 adults fit very comfortably in this roomy home. Plenty of space for everyone, including multiple cooks in the kitchen. You can't go wrong with this place.for everyone
