An excellent stay. The place was clean, comfortable, and as described. Check‑in was smooth, communication was quick and helpful, and the host clearly puts a lot of care into making guests feel welcome. Would recommend.

Thank you Surjit for those very kind words. Your communications were excellent and I'm glad you all had a great time. Come again when you are next up this way: we may have a brand new home listing in 2026/7 for you to try.
My family and I (including our spoodle) had a wonderful relaxing few days away at this lovely Shoalhaven Heads property. It had everything we needed for a comfortable self catered stay. We loved the super comfortable beds with high quality sheets and extra deep bathtub! Only a short walk to the beach and river where our dog was living her best life off leash. Frances was super easy to communicate with and we really appreciated the earlier checkin and later checkout - it really made our time away extra special. Thank you Frances!

Thank you Joanne for those very kind words and for leaving Barefoot so clean and tidy. We try to make it a home away from home for all family members. Come again anytime.
From the time we walked in, it felt like home.
Travelling with my two adult children and our fur baby, to attend a family Christmas gathering, this place was just what we were looking for.
Milk, eggs and a bowl full of fruit were waiting for us and really helped us out since we had forgotten to get some on our grocery run on the way in. These and other little touches made a difference and allowed us to become quickly relaxed and settled in.
Our Labrador was also well provided for, bedding, bowls for food & water even a few toys and the huge backyard for him, he was in doggy heaven.
So close to the river for our walks and swims and a short drive to the beach or a 20 minute walk.
Located only a short stroll to the dog friendly Heads Hotel and not far from Shoalhaven Bowling Club.
Frances was wonderful with communicating with us even went above and beyond after my son left his headphones in one of the berdrooms.
I would stay here again.
