Weekend Away
We stayed here for a girls weekend trip(total of 10 people), and we had a fabulous time! The property looks out to the river, and is walking distance to the beach and many local eateries. It was a huge property, with plenty of rooms for different activities. There are two large balconies for entertaining. The kitchen is the perfect communal cooking space with a large island, and long dining table. Dianne was quick to respond, and very kind to allow a late check-out. We felt very welcome in Shoalhaven Heads. Would love to come back to this fantastic property and town.

Summer Holiday House
Fantastic home in a wonderful location for a family summer holiday. The beds were comfortable and featured clean linen. There was plenty of seating available for large groups and had great access to the water. Dianne was a wonderful host who provided easy communication throughout the process. Would gladly recommend this to others looking to book a trip to Shoalhaven Heads.

Wonderful holiday house
This is a perfect place for a large family gatering. Enough space for everybody to hide and get some quiet time even if the weather was quite cloudy and even rainy. Yhis is the best holiday house we never rented so far! The only thing would be the greater is not sharp anymore.......

About the host

Hosted by Dianne Sutcliffe

Host profile image
Dianne and Glenn have lived in the Shoalhaven area for 30 years. We currently live nearby and hope one day to settle full time in 70 River Road.

Why they chose this property

We know the South Coast well and we identified this property as where we want to live. We believe it is the best spot on the south Coast. It is a beautiful place and once you stay you will appreciate how unique it is. It is also a few doors down from Dis parents home.

What makes this property unique

There is nothing more relaxing than sitting on the back deck looking down on the river, taking in the exceptional range of bird life.
