Hello and well done! You found us! Welcome to the fabulous Surfers Paradise Happy House on the breathtaking Nerang River. We have fabulous water views from the deck, a small private sandy beach and a jetty for fishing or crabbing. On the west wing of the Happy House, are rooms for your enjoyment with a private entrance and seating. Plus a private kitchenette with crockery, cutlery and cooking pots to use. There is a choice of private double rooms (for singles or couples) or our cute Koala room with its comfortable single bed. Separate shower, separate toilet, air con in communal areas, private laundry (no clothes dryer - we hang our clothes outside on the clothes lines). Private garden seating. On the east wing of the Happy House, you will find our beautiful salt water pool and jacuzzi, surrounded by pretty tropical gardens. This is the pathway to the river and all its beauty, with visiting swans and ducks and sometimes dolphins swim past. It's a great place for yoga, snacks, coffee or a beverage while you watch jetskis and big boats cruise by. Enjoy: Free street parking, tropical gardens, large saltwater swimming pool, jacuzzi, waterfront deck. For sight seeing and exploring the surrounding areas, there are buses nearby, or enjoy a short 20-25 minute walk past million dollar homes, to the light rail (tram/G-Link) and central Surfers Paradise. The Sorrento Shopping Centre, and the upmarket Capri on Via Roma Shopping Complex are also within walking distance. We are well travelled and are now happy to welcome travellers to enjoy our beautiful home on the Nerang River. All nationalities very welcome in this happy home away from home. This is a magic place where magic happens. I am a writer, a publisher, a journalist, a gardener, an artist... I create magic spaces including fairy gardens, and quirky places to enjoy. I have taught business and conversationalist English while abroad, for several years. When you choose the Happy House, my main purpose is to help you have a lovely, memorable holiday. All are welcome here - both international visitors and aussies. You can look forward to enjoying a safe, private, happy experience close to the heart of world famous Surfers Paradise and its beautiful white sandy beaches and rolling blue oceans. One of the most picturesque places in the world.
