Perfect beach house and location!
We spent a long weekend at this beautiful house celebrating my sons 18th birthday with some family and a small group of his friends. It perfectly matched our needs and was spacious enough even when confined to indoors due to the weather! The provision of some thoughtful kitchen items for cooking was appreciated and the kitchen overall was very well stocked with plenty of crockery, glassware etc. Topped off by great communication from the host, we were very happy and would definitely visit again.

Just Perfect!!!!!!
Everything about this home was PERFECT. This home was very comfortable for all 12 of us. Plenty of room for us all, for us all to be in one place without triping over each other. One of our favorite this was the back deck, we spent most of the time out there and where lucky enough to see a koala. we walked into town (one steep section then the rest very easy) had a swim then a short walk home.

Easter getaway
Lovely house in a great location. Works well for 2 families. Loved the large deck and even spotted a koala in neighbouring tree. Only fault was we ran out of gas for BBQ and spare gas bottle also empty. Otherwise house was very well equipped , clean and comfortable.

Gorgeous house in serene location
Beautiful spacious house, catering for the whole family (plenty of entertainment for the kids), some beach equipment provided, and a large front yard. Enjoyed our morning nespresso coffees looking out at the ocean. We even had a friendly kookaburra and king parrot visit. Short 10min walk to the shops (but steep hill, so admittedly drove a few times). Quick and easy communication with the owner, who even adjusted our bedding requirements 2 days before check in. We will definitely come back here. Absolutely fell in love with this home!

It’s a very old house the rooms and space are very small
The check-in process was not smooth. I read reviews from others before I made the booking but didn’t understand it back then, now I know why. I would like to put in the details here: I asked if an early check-in would be possible when I made the booking, 3pm is quite late. The property manager said she would discuss it with me at a closer date. I contacted her about 10 days before the check-in date, she told me that’s impossible immediately. When I asked about the property address, she said she would send it to me the next day. I waited for one week until 3 days prior to the check in, still didn’t receive anything, then I have to ask again the address and check in details. Finally she sent me the property address, she said she would send me the check in code on Monday in her email. Our check in date was Tuesday. On Monday evening, I asked her about the code for check in, she replied: “I don’t understand why you ask about the code today…it’s not been reset yet blabla…. what do you want more from me?!” I was a bit shocked with her rude attitude, but replied: I asked because you told me you would send it to me on Monday, that’s all. The space looks big because there are mirrors everywhere. The photos you see online make you image it’s big. Most importantly I like to remind others: they have installed cameras, I am not sure where. The check out time is 10pm, I called her at around 9:40am because I couldn’t open the safety box to put in the keys. She answered the phone, the first thing she said was: “someone is washing the car, that is not nice! Stop it!” We stopped, but I am wondering if washing your car is prohibited. I thought it’s like a shower and it’s before the check out time. I am 100% sure that Miss Belinda will deny everything I described above. From other reviewers, this lady is very good at this. Finally, if you dare to charge extra any $ to my credit card simply because I give this review and because you hold my credit card details, I WILL take you to the court.

This a beautifully decorated and extremely clean house that has everything you need for a wonderful stay. The views are stunning and the garden includes a hammock, 2 outdoor sitting areas and a large grass area for the kids to run around in. Inside it has lovely high ceiling and a large dining table and couch with plenty of games for the kids. It is walking distance to town and the host was warm and helpful the whole time.

This was a lovely, clean, really well set up property. We had 12 people staying for 5 nights. Belinda was very accommodating with an early check in and allowing us to set up a camper for the boys. The house was very comfortable with an excellent deck & great outdoor furniture. Beautiful beach views & an easy walk down to the beach

Grew up close to the beach and love the waves which is why this home is ideal for us.

Why they chose this property

That we are nestled perfectly between the ocean and forest ..... whales and koalas.

What makes this property unique

The house offers a unique space for 2 families with kids. The bedroom and bathroom spacing allowing for maximum privacy and personal space.

And enough space for larger groups of friends or work colleagues attending local conferences.
