Camille’s wee spot on The Esplanade at Burleigh is a total ‘Goldilocks Zone’ location - walkable to James St and The Pavillion, right over the road from the beach, and far enough from the G Link works and local apartment building projects to still be peaceful. A lower ground, end of block unit with parking spot right outside also means you don’t have people driving/walking past all the time, especially with the door are open to access that coastal breeze. The apartment has had a recent renovation so everything is pristine, the beds were the best we’ve slept in at a BnB, and the ceiling fans and aircon unit kept things sleepable. Camille was also super responsive to queries and provided very clear check in/check out comms and instructions. Have already recommended to others and we’ll be back ourselves : )

Such a beautiful location right across the road from the beach and within walking distance to restaurants, coffee shops and cafes. The property was spotless clean and had everything needed, including extremely comfy king beds! Our host done everything to make checking-in a little earlier possible which aligned well with our flights from SA. If you’re looking for a clean and relaxing space by the beach this place is wonderful!
