Lovely home in a quiet location. Spacious house. Very clean and great location near Shell Harbour.We were short one towel and we messaged the owner who had the cleaner drop 2 new towels over.Could do with a dishwasher and the mattress in the room with the fan is on a slight slant.Otherwise a wonderful stay.

Absolute dream holiday house

I stayed here with my family members and young children and we absolutely loved everything about it! Such a clean and cosy house not 1 thing to fault. The pool outside was clean and quite big to fit everyone to have a nice swim There was a large glass barrier around the pool for safety for the children which is what attracted me most to the house. The house itself was spotless clean we all loved it. Will definitely be back next year!!

Wonderful spacious home.

We loved staying at Large Coastal Retreat. Communication was fantastic, Lynette was very responsive and she even left little gifts for our children. The pool is large and was clean. The kitchen is well equipped with oil, spices, salt and pepper available. There is a coffee machine with pods. The washer and dryer were very handy. Pool towels are not supplied so BYO and the air conditioning works very well, some of the bedrooms have ceiling fans (not the main bedroom). It is 4 minutes by car to the local shops. I was surprised given the size of the home that the upstairs living room does not have a couch or TV, its an open bare living space. There is one couch and one TV in the downstairs living room.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review - we're so happy you and your family enjoyed your stay at Large Coastal Retreat! It's lovely to hear the kids enjoyed the little surprises and that you found everything comfortable and convenient. We're glad the pool, kitchen setup, and laundry facilities made your stay that bit easier and more relaxing. Since your stay, we've added a comfortable lounge and smart tv upstairs to make the space more inviting and functional for guests. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.
