We absolutely loved our stay here. Such a nice design and small touches around. It feels very welcoming and homely. Location is amazing! You can see the beach and surfers paradise from the terrace and even from inside. You get to see all the parachutes landing nearby and can easily walk everywhere you need to go! Thanks for having us.

FAQs

  • We sleep two people in one queen sized Koala bed with plush linens. We also have a small bathroom with a step-in shower.

  • Absolutely! We love, love - and we love to collaborate with other creatives. Drop us a note with the details about your event and we will be in touch with everything you need to know.

  • Getting to Kirra could not be easier!

    Air Travel: Gold Coast Airport (OOL) is literally walking distance way with zero air traffic noise (woohoo!) and Brisbane Airport (BNE) is about an hour's drive north of us. We are easy to find on GPS and you can drive or take a shuttle (we recommend Con-X-ion) from BNE to The Kirra Abode.

    Car Travel: Kirra is located on the north end of Coolangatta and is accessible by car, (we offer free garage parking!) and bus, (a stop is right across the road from us).

    Don't have a car? Don't worry. Walk, shuttle, taxi or Uber over from the airport and everything you need is within walking distance when you get here.

A holiday and a home …

Years of hopping timezones while soul searching left host Marisa seeking a moment of reprieve. Craving softness and tranquility, sitting in a cafe across from a tranquil unknown beach just moments before dropping a friend off at the airport, she took a breath in and felt it. The magic of this special little place, with its pink pastel skies and crescent moon sparkling on the horizon. On an exhale she declared, “This is the place.”
