Gorgeous comfy cozy house

Beautiful house with large decks and windows and great views. The photos really don’t do it justice at all. The fireplace was lit for us on arrival, and kept the living area nice and warm. The split systems in the bedrooms were great for a little burst of heat when needed too. The kitchen is very well stocked with hot drinks, condiments and dishes. There were even plastic dishes for our toddler. The toys were enjoyed by our 3 year old, as was the dvd selection. I liked the romance novel selection and cookbooks. The smart tv was great. The house even had a baby bath tub and potty! Our two old dogs were thankfully welcome and enjoyed sitting out on the balcony watching the ocean. We saw wallabies, kangaroos and dolphins from the balcony and many windows. Our daughter liked watching the ferry go back and forth. I hope we get to come back! Great spot.

Dolphin encounter it is!

What a blissful place to stay! This place has killer views. You can watch the dolphins play right from the living room or deck. Very well furnished, clean, roomy property. Well stocked kitchen, linens and good quality toiletries. Mish is a great host and gave us local tips and kept us updated. Thank you Mish!

Islam stay

Our stay was amazing. Mish was great host, actual property is more beautiful than in the pictures. After driving around we realized, that the most beautiful beach is just 3 min walk. There were dolphins and kangaroos all day long. Place is equipped with absolutely everything you can possibly need. Highly recommend!!!

Great place to relax and unwind

Great place to stay relax and unwind, the house is very well set up. We thought we were extremely lucky to be next to the Wallaby trail and seeing the pod of Dolphins playing in the bay.

Gorgeous stay

Lovely, comfortable and peaceful place to stay in perfect location. Views across the bay were a highlight especially with the full moon and calm waters at night. Lots of wildlife, which is a huge plus for my family and it’s an easy walk into the quaint town of Penneshaw. Allowing dogs is another major attraction. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the place to family and friends.
