Comfortable, well equipped, pet friendly home with a fabulous pool, located minted from the beach.
My two young adult children, our dog and I enjoyed our brief stay in Hawks Nest very much. The house is very well equipped, lovely modern kitchen with all the equipment you could need, beautifully decorated living area which features a large smart TV with streaming services available, and the beds are exceptionally comfortable. The highlight is definitely the lovely In ground pool and the 2 huge verandahs.- it feels like a beachside resort here. There are also many great bush walking tracks surrounding the house & you are only 3 minutes drive or 15 minutes walk from Bennetts Beach. We would have loved to stay longer and would be keen to visit again.

Fabulous House
We stayed here over Easter - I choose this house because it had good space both indoor and outdoor in case of rain. Luckily there was no rain this year - we loved the swimming pool which was incredibly clean. There are three outdoor areas so we had great locations for breakfast and dinner. The house itself was perfect - very clean and with everything you need - we had friends over for lunch and the long table and air conditioning in the living room was fab. The bedrooms were relaxing, having an en-suite to the main was lively. Everything was very clean which isn’t always the case with homes that allow animals. The sparkling beaches (head to Bennett’s Beach, near the Golf Club if you have a dog) are around 15 min walk away as is the IGA, but parking at both was very easy also. All round a lovely spot! Highly recommended.

Hawks Nest retreat in the forest
Good house for a family holiday. Clean and with all required facilities. Not too far from the beach and the pool is great. The beach looks a bit dangerous for swimming but there's a patrolled section. Lovely long beach for long walks.

Lovely Pet-Friendly Home, Great Pool and Bush Outlook
We had a great stay here! The house is nicely furnished and kitchen comes well equipped and has all the basics (pepper, salt, olive oil, dishwashing, glad wrap, tea, coffee pods etc etc). Comfortable beds and newsly renovated bathrooms. Living room has air conditioning; all bedrooms have fans. The house has verandahs on both sides, one has a great bush outlook (really doesnt't feel like you're in town!) and the other one faces the (very quiet) street. The pool is great and clean - our kids absolutely loved it! The whole house is very well fenced for dogs. short drive or 20min walk to beach and shops. Owner is very helpful and responsive. Overall we had an amazing week!! Thanks again :)

This was a great property to stay at. We had no issues at all. It was also very clean, inside and out (including pool). Jen was very responsive with any communication and even told us about markets happening in town that we wouldn't have otherwise known about. When we come back to the area we will be staying here again if available.

Amazing Summer Holiday Stay!
Jen is an excellent host at communication. Our stay went smoothly with super easy check in and check out. Pool is lovely for the summer. Our dog loved the big back yard, super pet-friendly home. Just a few things including bit of dust in corners and frames, and lots of summer flies so keep your doors closed, but all very minor compared to everything else kept to great standards. Again, thanks for an amazing stay!

Quiet, comfortable in Hawks Nest
We really enjoyed our stay at Hawks Nest. The bedrooms - beds are comfortable, all have a fan with one with ensuite. Seperate toilet and a shared bath/shower. All with ample supplies ie toilet paper. The house is clean. Kitchen has everything you need. Great basic supplies - dishwashing soap, dishwasher tablets, paper towels, tea towels, rubbish bags, foil, cling wrap. The pool is great and clean. There is a washing machine/dryer downstairs. Clothes line. Aircon in the main area with a tv and so many games to play for all ages. Location is great for walks, shops and beach. It's quiet too. However we did drive to the beach. We bought our bikes up and the teenager boys rode to the shops to get their pies from the bakery. It suited our needs for a family of 4. If you had another family of 3 this could work too. Yes would love to stay again. Thank you for having us Jen.
