Ray and I are retired and enjoy spending time in our garden. We have chickens as well in a chicken pen at the back and they are mostly quiet. We live in a quiet dead end street so not a lot of traffic which makes it a safe street.
We sometimes we have our sons small dog Princess staying with us.
We have two bedrooms for Homestay so maximum 4 guests stay at any one time. Guests have own bathroom with seperate toilet to us. These are kept clean at all times.
Must like dogs as we have two active dogs. Poodle and a Cavoodle. Both very friendly.

    First experience with Home stay at Joy & Ray's, in Parkwood.
    A lovely couple in a nice quite neighborhood, nothing was a problem, felt like we were visiting old friends, always up for a chat & advice on the local attractions. the wife absolutely "LOVED" the 2 dogs. Will hopefully stay with Joy & Ray next time we visit the Gold Coast.
    Many Thanks.

    Ray & Joy are GOLD. We especially loved them as both our grandparents are no longer around so we were blessed to learn and gain much wisdom from them both. We miss them already and hope to visit soon.

    I stayed for 2 weeks for study. Joy and Ray were very accomodating, they took me to the Uni on my first day, took me food shopping and on the weekend took me to the local markets with them. I really did feel at home during my stay and will return when I am next due to attend for further study

How do I book?

Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.

When do I pay?

You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.

When can I share my contact details?

Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
