It was spotlessly clean with comfortable beds which assured us of a good night's sleep every night. Nearby, there is a Marina and a lovely walk alongside the water. Cleveland is a lovely relaxed place to have a wonderful holiday. Thanks Guys!!!

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
We live in a gated residential complex, with blocks of townhouses each with separate garages and courtyards. Our complex is secure and has a mix of residents, families, couples and is generally quiet. There is a swimming pool and BBQ area for all residents and we have onsite managers.
The complex is on the canals of the beautiful Raby Bay Harbour. Our garden unit is only metres from Raby Bay Harbour's cafes and restaurants, and Cleveland village. The Cleveland railway station is 50 metres from our gate where trains and buses depart for Brisbane city, a 1 hour train ride or a 30 minute drive. Brisbane International airport is also 30 mins drive and the Gold Coast and Theme parks are 1 hours drive.
The Sunshine Coast and Noosa are a 2 hour drive north.
We are centrally situated for island, coastal and hinterland adventures. Cleveland is gateway to the beautiful North Stradbroke Island, where you can see Kangaroos, dolphins, mantra rays and turtles on a day trip. The annual winter migration of whales is another highlight easily seen from North Stradbroke Island.
Local markets are held every Sunday where you can purchase farmers produce and arts and crafts.

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
As we are Kiwi's living in Australia, we do not request any exchanges in New Zealand as we have family to stay with while there.
We expect our home to be left as clean and tidy as it was on arrival, we would be leaving your home clean and tidy also. Any breakages or damage to property should be advised to us immediately.
As we live in a gated community, the by laws require that there is no excessive noise after 8.00pm and before 7.00am.
Pool hours are 8.00am to 8.00pm.
Speed limit in our complex is 10km.
