Unbelievable sea-water view. Water is litterally on your door step and 100% as advertised. Overal, it is very relaxing and a very good hang out place for any type of weather. Host was also very friendly and very helpful.10/10 for me.
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.
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
We loved having the sandy beach only a few metres from the large deck at the front of the house. Sadly there was a bit of a storm and quite a lot of rain when we stayed so we weren’t able to sit outside on the deck, but the lounge and dining area was comfy and spacious and we enjoyed watching the storm rage outside!!
Even at low tide there is a lovely view from the house. It would be a very safe place for kids to play and swim. A total plus for us was being able to take our dog and go for walks on the beach.
The house was very clean and the kitchen was very well equipped.
The only downside for us is that there weren’t 2 queen side beds inside the house, but that’s only our personal preference. There was a second queen size bed in the sleepout. The large sleepout was very well insulated with plywood walls and new carpet.
This was a really nice place to relax and I’d like to come back some time.
The place is great Grey hairs were on the pillow cases in the middle room The kitchen needed a collinder for draining pasta etc and a larger knife for carving meat, watermelon etc
