Fabulous stay- would love to return.
We loved our time at Caves Beach. Felicity’s properly delivered everything promised and was perfect for us, comfortably fitting two families, with heaps of space for adults and teens. The view from the deck is even better in real life. The house so we’ll appointed with everything you may need to enjoy a holiday rental. Fully appointed kitchen, with amble plates, cups, cutlery etc. The close and easy walk to the beach was fantastic and the extra boards and beach goodies at the house a bonus. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely love to return. Thanks to Felicity for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Perfect family get away
We booked this accommodation for family get away across all age groups. The photos speak for themselves however the house is conveniently located close to all Caves Beach has to offer. Communication from the host was great. The upstairs living area is perfect, modern kithcen with open plan living, flowing onto the stunning large deck - we were lucky enough to see whales! Bedding was comfortable and clean. House is equipped with everything you need. Highly recommend, great value for money.

About the host

Hosted by Felicity Moore

Host profile image
We are a Sydney family and bought this house when our children were little. We have so many happy memories of holidays at Caves Beach -whether in the surf, relaxing on the deck looking out over the ocean or playing games in the backyard. The sunsets and whale migrations are a favourite. It's also a lovely winter house with wood fire and open plan kitchen/living
