Absolutely Amazing

What an amazing property and location! A beautiful home, filled with everything you need. Warm, cozy and clean. Breathtaking arrival and seals to greet us as we drove by to the house. Even just the "getting there" was a beautiful adventure. Totally recommend this property and hosts 100%. Thanks for an amazing weekend and sharing this piece of seaside paradise. Remember to pack your woolies for your outdoor walks - you will not be disappointed!

A bellbird beauty.

Very clean, tucked away amongst bellbird filled greenery. Relaxed stay and welcoming hosts. It felt more spacious than I expected from the photos. It was easy to drive to but also had a sneaky back walkway to a big supermarket and train station. Would definitely stay again, thank you.

Beautiful bach/fantastic location

We got really lucky with beautiful still weather and visiting during a time that the beach road was closed to anyone but residents. The bach was comfortable and so nicely decorated. We thought it was a little on the expensive side considering you had to clean and pack out your rubbish at the end of the stay, but the hosts were lovely. They came down to help immediately when there was a problem with the water flow and sorted it without any fuss. Brilliant stay, we will be back!
