We had to find temporary accommodation while house repairs were being done, and we were so lucky to find Craig and Megan with their pristine bach.
While we weren't on holiday and still had work and school drop offs, we couldn't have picked a more suitable residence. The bach has literally everything you need and more.
From USB wall outlets, to blazingly fast WiFi speeds, and super comfortable beds we felt right at home. While also being able to wake up to incredible ocean views that made you think maybe there really is a God, right on our doorstep too!
We had our own privacy right from day one. Craig and Megan would periodically text us making sure everything was perfect for our stay. 10/10 hosts.
If you're gonna book a bach, book this one. Be it for a holiday kayaking on the ocean, or a working holiday to escape the city. It's worth every penny.
Property was above our expectation thanks.
Host was friendly and showed interest in our stay and made us feel at home.
Quiet retreat well worth it.
Thanks
Absolutely loved staying here. Short walk over the road to the beach. Really appreciated the Easter eggs and all the other snacks left for me. Host was very welcoming and helpful. Will definitely stay again.
We throughly enjoyed our stay at ‘Once Upon A Tide ‘. It was such a peaceful retreat and the views from
All the rooms are stunning. The house if probably the cleanest I have stayed in and the decor and extra bits like Homemade cookies were a lovely welcome. We were only there for less than 24hrs, but it felt a lot longer and we will definitely be back!
Overall summary, despite the fact that the weather was not on our side while we were there, we had a wonderful time away.
The accommodation
You cannot ask for more from an accommodation perspective. The place was delightful, clean, the beds were comfy and overall it had all the things we were looking for to have a comfortable stay away from home. If the weather had played ball, we would have enjoyed several sundowners on the upstairs deck with the wonderful view. As it was, with the weather not being ideal, the house worked really well with options to just relax ad enjoy
Location
The area is absolutely stunning with the natural bush and water. We took several lovely walks into the bush in various places. Unfortunately, due to the weather we were not able to do much at the beaches, but from what we could see there were some wonderful beaches that you would be able to enjoy with some sun, as well as the tidal estuary for kayaking.
Overall experience
Jade was really helpful and quick with communication to let us know what was happening and checking in on us while we were there. Our intention was to have a good relaxing break after a busy year and lots of family and friends over Christmas / New Year, and we certainly were able to do that. We had a lovely break
i stayed here with 8 friends for a birthday getaway and everyone loved it!! the beach was beautiful and the house provided us the perfect place for down time and socialising. thanks for letting us stay!!
