Great stay
We enjoyed our stay, having been camping on the island for several years - staying in the house was much easier. The house was clean with everything we needed. Happy Valley is a great central location. Thanks Bree.

Hidden gem!
An oldie but a goodie! 🌴🌿 What an amazing private little piece of paradise, with walking access less than 5 mins to the beach, No drive by cars so very safe for the kids even with a sneaky ocean view to enjoy our happy hour drinks each afternoon. Loved our stay and will be back again. Thanks Bree for sharing your little hidden gem.

No doors, tiny rooms, no real entertaining area. To be fair, it is an old property and for its age I guess it did the job. We were not aware it would be soo small with no doors and snoring kept us all up. It was clean and usable.

Good location. Property manager Bree is very helpful and friendly. Cottage is clean and comfortable enough however some ceiling fans would be appreciated as it gets very hot at night with no breeze. Good fridge and separate chest freezer to keep your food cold. Could not get the oven or grill to work and was frustrated there were no tongs anywhere we could find, otherwise cuutlery and dishes selection good and BBQ cooked well enough. Would stay again but next time I'll bring a fan.

Not suitable for habitation
The property was advertised as a beach shack. It was a 50 year old fibro building with limited access to electricity. It was dirty, with wood rot and peeling paint. The bed was ridiculous, and the offer of a few bits of foam from the renter was a joke. It took three days to work out how to get a hot shower adequately. There is not way this property would meet any building codes and should not be put up for rent. And it was not cheap, so price was not the issue.

Loved our Holiday
The property was exactly what we expected and made a great base for our family to explore the island, with no flash bells and whistles just a comfortable place to come home to each night. Bree was a great host and very quick to respond to any questions before and during our stay. Will definitely book here again.
