Booking at The Avocado Tree Farm: Airbnb vs. Direct – Quick Pros & Cons

The Avocado Tree Farm, our certified organic 80-acre haven in Queensland's Sunshine Coast Hinterland, offers two off-grid tiny homes—Claudine and Henry—with spectacular valley views, a home away from home, fire pits, peace and serenity. A 1.5 hour drive to Toogoom, near Hervey Bay, is our beach house, Moananui, which offers absolute beachfront living.

Whether you're seeking a peaceful eco-retreat or a relaxing coastal escape, we are passionate about providing memorable experiences that connect you with nature.

Booking through Airbnb or similar platforms is popular, but going direct via our site often wins for savvy travellers. Here's why:

Booking via Airbnb (or Similar Platforms)

Pros

- Easy discovery & comparison 

- Built-in reviews, payments and protections

- App convenience & occasional deals 

Cons

- Extra guest fees (often 14-16%) hike the total price 

- Less flexibility for custom requests 

- Communication stays on-platform 

Booking Direct with Us

Pros

- Save 15% off Airbnb rates—no platform fees! 

- Personal touch: direct chats for tailored stays, extras like fresh avocados, in season or      flexible dates 

- Full support from us, stronger connection, repeat-guest perks 

- Your booking helps sustain our organic farm directly 

Cons

- Requires knowing us or searching specifically (though Google helps!) 

- No third-party mediation (but we prioritise happy guests) 

For first-timers, platforms shine for finding us. But once you've soaked in those sunrise views or relaxed at Moananui, direct is the smarter move—cheaper, more personal and better for everyone.
