Another great stay

We had another great stay at this perfect beach house! The location is excellent and is the best base to enjoy everything that point Lonsdale has to offer. This time we spent a lot of time at the Rockpools which were spectacular. We will definitely be back.

Lovely rustic cottage that needs a little love

Great location really good for a long weekend or more. Basic in some ways with some things not working and some elements of the cottage ageing so the pictures don’t reflect the state the furniture. Front gate could collapse at any time. Outside just needs a refresh/clean also.

Amazing

To start with the host, Stuart, was the most helpful, accommodating and compassionate person to deal with. We had some personal issues that required last minute cancellation and then rebooking and he was incredibly patient, understanding and kind. The location of the property is outstanding, with the beach and lighthouse across the road and some wonderful local shops and cafes that you can walk to. The fur babies loved it and so did we it was exactly what we needed and we will definitely be back!!

Weekend getaway

My partner and I stayed here recently for a weekend away. The location is fantastic! You can walk to the shops or beach in 2 minutes! The backyard is a lovely, open space, perfect for spending time outdoors. We loved the idea of the fire pit outside but unfortunately didn't have the firewood to do so. Other than that, we thoroughy enjoyed our stay. Just be careful driving into the property, a proper driveway would be ideal as we only had a small car!

Perfect Beach Getaway

Great no frills beach house in an unparalleled location. 5 minute walk to both the front beach/town or the back beach/lighthouse. Huge deck and fire pit area for relaxing after a day at the beach. The house itself is a bit battered from years of weather but inside is spotless, with an updated bathroom, WiFi and modern living. This is the second time we’ve stayed over the years and will definitely be back. Also dog friendly with a big enclosed backyard!

The perfect Point Lonsdale stay

We had the best time at this perfect beach house, the house was exactly as described and comfortable for our two families to stay. The back deck area was a favourite, it is a beautiful spot to relax with a book. The garden is great for the kids to play around in and lots of space for our furry friends as well. We couldn’t have had a better long weekend away. It is so close to the lighthouse and town which made it super relaxing and convenient. We would highly recommend staying here and we hope to come back soon.

Great location and outside areas for our dog.

The house was great for us and our dog. There are two outside lawn areas. Close walking to shops and lighthouse. We only used one of the queen beds, which was really comfortable. The other looked just as comfortable. Cooking facilities and utensils were also good. There are two outdoor tables, one under cover and one without cover, handy if it is really hot. We enjoyed our stay thoroughly.
