Relaxing stay in the trees
Lovely quiet peaceful and relaxing stay. The house was beautiful with plenty of room for us to spread out and relax. Lots of thoughtful extras like the games area to keep everyone happy. We enjoyed exploring the local area going for lakeside walks with our little dog, and swimming at the beach

Beautiful Stay
Lovely getaway, the house is a bit smaller than it appears on the website and the pool is a common pool not private as how I understood it. However, the layout of the new house is perfect for the 7 of us and its not a bother to drive to the pool and lovely side walk. We really enjoyed our stay and the house is well equipped with even olive oil in the kitchen and games in the game room. Can not fault anything!!! The host is so lovely and accommodating and responsive! We all had a lovely time. Thank you Angie for opening your beautiful home for our stay. Kerry

About the host

Host profile image
Hi there, we are from Sydney and love to escape the city to Murrays Beach for some relaxing family time. We love the serenity and hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

Murrays beach is all about relaxing amongst the Australian native trees listening to the sounds of the birds. With lots of bush walks and a short walk to the lake and drive to some of the best beaches on the coast, it really does have the best of both worlds.
