Beautiful part of the world quiet, sunny and friendly. The accommodation was excellent for our needs, the price was fare and the proprietor friendly and accomodating. Would consider revisiting later next year.

What A View!
Benji’s place was perfect for us. Being high on the hill meant that the sea breezes kept us cool for our entire week there. The view from the bedroom and the deck is wonderful. Check-in was easy and Benji and Chris were welcoming and helpful. We’ll be back, for sure.

The perfect place to get off that treadmill that seems to run so much of our lives!
Nestled into the hillside of the unspoiled village of Scotts Head and with views to the ocean, Benji's By The Sea is a delightful place to relax and feel alive. The accommodation is pristine but cosy and welcoming at the same time with every possible vantage point to the sea utilised with floor to ceiling windows and doors. For us, it is our "go to" place to re connect with peace and tranquillity.

A delightful property in a beautiful location
The accommodation at Benji's By The Sea is beautifully appointed with a glorious outlook from all aspects. Very private, yet within strolling distance of beaches shops and facilities. It was the perfect place for that much needed getaway! Thank you Benji for your wonderful hospitality!

A magical location with extensive views of the ocean. A refreshing and relaxing stay.
Benji’s was a surprise. We loved the amazing ocean views (including whales) the privacy amongst the trees, the bird life and the immaculate apartment. The hosts were friendly and accommodating. We also enjoyed exploring the laid back village of Scott’s Point. If you are looking for night life and restaurants this is not the place for you. It is about surf, beach and cliff walks. We loved it.

Clean, cute and comfortable
Scotts Head and Benji's by the Sea ticks all the right boxes for us for either a weekend getaway or a week long holiday. Gracious hosts, clean and comfortable accommodation with character, and a lovely deck to read the newspaper, take in the ocean views and even see whales. We look forward to going again.

Relaxing hideaway
Was a bit daunted by the uphill walk from beach & shops but worth the effort to enjoy the views of the ocean & private retreat. Property as described (& photographed), caters for all needs. Stayed 2 nights - feeling very relaxed. Highly recommend this place - thanks Benji & Chris

Check the surf from your pillow
Nestled high amongst trees abundant with bird life sits the beautiful and tranquil "Benji's By The Sea." The use of timber, glass and openness allows immediate calm and relaxation. Designed for peace, quiet and easy living Benji's takes full advantage of the magnificent vista. Whether it's a surf check from your pillow or sipping a wine and watching whales from the deck, at "Benji's" your connection with the ocean is immediate and simply stunning. Every room (even the shower) has an ocean view! For me, Benji's is a step into paradise. It is the perfect place for a couple seeking a romantic getaway or just being at one with the world. Loved every minute and will be back for sure. I should also mention that Benji, the owner, could not have been more helpful. Quick response time and nothing too much trouble. Thanks a million Benji. Will catch up again soon.

A magnificent spot for peace and tranquility. The photos on the site were definitely what we got! What a better way to relax, than to sit in bed and watch the ocean or to take a shower and sneak a peak at the whales from the bathroom window. The bird life was abundant. Walking distance to one of the loveliest beaches on the coast. A short drive to many interesting local towns/beaches. We came for 3 nights, stayed for 4 but am envious of those to come next!
