Fabulous!
This was our first time renting this house for the weekend, and it was a fantastic experience. The view was absolutely amazing, and the sunset was nothing short of spectacular. The kitchen was well-equipped, and there were plenty of rooms with very comfortable beds.Despite the weather, we had a wonderful weekend. We were even visited by a kangaroo and a kookaburra, which made the stay feel even more special and uniquely Australian.Kate was incredibly accommodating and made us feel very welcome from the start. I would highly recommend this place to families looking for a peaceful getaway with stunning views and great amenities.Jan

Host profile image
We are a happily married couple with two beautiful daughters. We love travelling, experiencing new places and cultures, the beach, nature, spending time with family and friends, food, scuba diving, photography, art and design. Oh plus Pip (not Kate) loves cricket!

Why they chose this property

Straddie is a very special place! It really is unique! We have done a lot of travel to 50+ countries and hand on heart there is not a better combination of natural assets on the planet in such close proximity to one another and a major international city. The House is unique as it is perched on top of a hill providing stunning sunsets over the water, something you don't get anywhere else on the East Coast of Australia. Come experience it for yourself!

What makes this property unique

The View!!!!!!
