Fabulous family holiday next to beach

Such a wonderful house: the views are spectacular with amazing sunsets over the ocean, house is loved and fully stocked kitchen needs, pool and ping pong tables. Lots of room for separate kids hangouts, dogs welcome and dog beach access right next door. Had the best holiday and will return.

My Favourite Holiday Home

Yet another enjoyable stay at “Coryule”. This time for a family birthday celebration. Everything inside & outside this beach side property is tasteful, useful, elegant with a touch of art & accents in every area of beautiful green potted plants. Great modern kitchen, so well supplied with quality utensils. Downstairs bedroom, Kitchen & pool table provided great entertainment for all. Thankyou to Helen & family for an A1 stay. Liz, Geoff & family.

Great place for a family holiday!

Our family enjoyed a summer holiday stay at Coryule! Large comfortable home with lots of space for all members of the family. Great access to the beach beside the house down a large number of steep stairs (kept us fit!). Wifi not great - but that seems to be the same throughout Somers, so doubt if it is the owners issue. Dog friendly, but no front fencing. Can recommend.

Our Seaside Escape where Everything WORKS!

Two grandparents enjoyed this delightful very well appointed, spotlessly clean, comfy, well maintained home; beach walks with our dog, & for couple of days 2 grandkids were kept occupied with a cupboard full of quality games, & outside with many items in the enclosed games room. Location is so close to SOMERS Store & Balnarring for supplies, & many points of interest a short drive away. Thankyou Helen for the enjoyable “extras” . A great experience we hope to repeat!

Perfect holiday house

We were so impressed with Coryule. Fantastic views, proximity to the beach and exactly what a holiday house should be - older style yet comfy, clean and well equipped and well stocked. And the host Helen was proactive in sending me the check in details, and generously left various provisions in the kitchen. Loved it. Thanks.

What a view!

The photos don’t do justice to the spectacular panorama over Westernport bay and surrounding rolling hills. The house is really well equipped with functional bathrooms and modern kitchen. The parental retreat works well for a family with teenagers and above. The beach is close and beautiful.

Lovely beachside Haven

lovely older style holiday home with modern kitchen and amazing views. Plenty of room for the family including the self contained unit downstairs. The pool table provided hours of entertainment for teenagers and adults and the games cupboard is well stocked with games and puzzles galore. Couldnt be closer to the beach - though you need some stamina to climb the 100 steps each day! Thanks for a lovely break.

Beyond expectations

From the time we found this property on Stayz to the quick response from Helen to checking in to our time of stay & checking out was beyond amazing. Everything was beyond our expectations. Thank you. The view was outstanding. Even though the weather wasn’t the best we still enjoyed our stay. The house is set out perfectly. Helen you are a beautiful woman who is quick with responding & to even check that everything is going well during the stay. You made us feel very welcome & comfortable. I recommend this place to anyone. Beautiful area.

Very spacious and comfortable family home with amazing views.

Great location, a few minutes walk from the beach. Beauiful panoramic sunset views. Very Well equipped for everything a family needs to cook or barbecue with. Lots of space upstsirs and downstairs. Great communications with owners. We had a very comfortable stay. One note, although there is a/c in the main living room, on the few hot days we had it did get very warm in the house. Overall excellent value - would go back!

Excellent family friendly home

We were up for a wedding and two weeks before our stay Helen emailed us a very detailed email about how to get to the property and good places to visit. When we arrived we could not believe how enormous the house was! It was a beautiful and well equipped family home complete with childproof gate for the stairs and a cupboard full of board games. Excellent kitchen and spacious bedrooms. We would highly recommend Coryule to anyone. It is also only 5 minutes walk to the beach!

Wonderful Family Holiday Home

Coryule was a wonderful place to stay and was large enough to accommodate our extended family. There were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone. Although not ultra modern, the house was clean and welcoming. The kids loved the short walk to the beach and looking for treasures in the rock pools. The adults loved relaxing on the balcony and taking in the fabulous views. The owners thought of everything. They provided toddler equipment such as high chair, a gate to block off the top of the stairs and even a fold up cot. There were plenty of DVDs to entertain kids and adults. The games cupboard was filled with games and puzzles. The kitchen was well stocked with all the equipment you could need. We had lovely family meals together while watching the sun set over the water. I would absolutely recommend Coryule to anyone seeking a budget friendly holiday with plenty of space for everyone to relax and unwind.

Family friendly holiday house

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Coryule. There were 7 adults and 2 children and enough bedrooms for all. It is rare to find a five bedroomed house. The location was superb. We looked out of the windows and saw the sea. There was a climb of steps to the beach but that was a wonderful morning walk. This was a family home and they had left everything for us to use. There was plenty to do. Strawberry picking, trout fishing and cherry picking, and then we could sit in the garden and eat our food from the BBQ. A beautiful and spacious garden. We also loved the local shopping centre where everything was available. This is a marvellous and economical holiday compared to other places I considered. Thank you
