About this property

Sunrise Studio - sleep to the sound of waves and wake up to a stunning sunrise!

Hamptons Guest House is an 80s architecturally designed Hamptons-inspired home located at south One Mile Beach—just a short stroll from the patrolled surf, a modern playground, and one of Forster’s best cafés.

We have carefully converted this classic beach house into three separate holiday listings while maintaining the option for guests to book all 3 listings, which means a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom, 2 living room house with three outdoor areas! Perfect for a large family reunion!

Because of this unique configuration, each individual accommodation is a well-appointed, self-contained space. It’s perfect for guests who favour a relaxed vibe over the boxed-in feeling of a concrete unit block or a generic hotel room.

The design and connecting doors (whilst securely locked) mean that you might hear a floorboard creak or singing coming from the shower next door! Guests say they get that authentic beach house feeling.

The Layout
The Studio is located above the garage, giving you the unique benefit of no one being directly above or below you. It is the quietest space in the house and offers the best ocean views.

Sleeping Area: A comfortable, open space set up for relaxation where you can enjoy the coastal breeze and ocean views.

Separate Breakfast Bar: Equipped with a mini fridge, microwave, toaster, kettle, and coffee machine. Note: There is no fixed sink, however we provide a dedicated washing tub and eco-friendly provisions for easy clean-up.

With a comfortable bed and stylish décor, minutes stroll to a patrolled beach and short drive to shops, clubs and restaurants, our studio is great for an over-night stay or weekend get-away!

Our Studio is is ideal for solo travellers or couples needing a stop over or a relaxing weekend get-away 🏨😊

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE ⚠️⚠️⚠️

GENERAL POLICY
Our properties are in high demand, so apart from advertised promotions, we don't negotiate, give discounts and we don't hold reservations unless full payment was made at the time of the booking. Additionally, we manage our properties to a professional industry standard due to our background in property legislation. So naturally, we only communicate via the booking platform. Our rules are strict to maintain peaceful enjoyment and a positive experience for all our guests.

CONTACTING US
We live in the day and age of online scams, so we get our fair share of enquiries posing as fair dinkum travellers wanting to book accommodation. To manage this, we require all enquirers to confirm they've read through the listing and house rules and know what's included and what's not.

The Rental Agreement
The Rental Agreement forms part of the booking conditions and must be read before booking. It contains important information about house rules, the refundable cleaning fee (bond), check-in requirements and cancellation terms. If you cannot locate the Rental Agreement during the booking process (or a link to it), please contact us before completing your booking to request a copy.

Quiet Enjoyment
Our beach house is somewhat of a retreat, so there’s no shouting, yelling, or high volumes on TVs and music are not permitted. On the flip side, guests must not expect the soundproofing of a concrete high-rise. You'll likely hear a creaking floorboard or a fellow guest singing in the shower somewhere else in our beach house! To further promote a peaceful stay, we have a silent rule on the shared walk ways and external areas.

Deodorant Policy
We are a strictly non-smoking property; so not inside your accommodation, nor anywhere outside due to smoke drift. Additionally, we don't allow masking agents to keep the air neutral, and completely safe for every single traveller who checks in. Masking deodorants contain harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs), artificial fragrances, and neurotoxins that can trigger chronic respiratory issues and severe chemical sensitivities and can bring on adult onset asthma.

Registered Guests Only
To comply with insurance and safety standards, property access is strictly limited to the specific number of people on the booking. No visitors are permitted on-site at any time, day or night.

Cleaning Fee (Bond)
To keep our accommodation pricing competitive, we charge a separate refundable cleaning fee (bond), rather than incorporating those costs into every booking. The refundable cleaning fee (bond) starts from $100 and varies according to the booking. Refund conditions and other important information are contained in the Rental Agreement.

Checking In
Our check-in window closes at 7pm and reopens at 10am the following morning, in line with staff working hours. Late arrivals can arrange for remote instructions via our intercom security camera, but it's important to communicate with us PRIOR to your arrival to request this. Arriving after 7pm requires approval in writing, however as our quiet time starts at 11pm, it's strictly not permitted to arrive later than 10.30pm. If you miss our curfew, we'll recommend a local 24hr self-check-in hotel.

Given the size of the home, our housekeeping team requires the full turnaround time to prepare for each new arrival, so early check in is not available.

Happy Guests
We aim to provide a 5-star experience for every stay. However, we recognise that our standards and house rules may not suit everyone. Please review the entire listing and Rental Agreement carefully before booking to ensure our property is the right fit for your stay.

Terrific Studio Apartment for a short 2 night stay. Welcoming and comfortable, decorated with a beachy vibe, handy kitchenette for a cuppa on the balcony enjoying the view. Beautiful spot for morning sunrises. Will be staying again.

Loved the stay. Quiet, private and very comfortable. We were only passing through on the way up north but it was the perfect place for a couple to stay in Forster, close to town and beaches. Highly recommend

Room was ok, but the only lounge was the spare single bed which didnt serve as seating too well. Kitchen was basically a narrow cupboard in hallway leading to shower/ toilet, which served as benchtop for teamaking and washing up. We were unfortunate in that during our stay workmen were using chainsaw and jackhammer over the 3 days stay which precluded us from relaxing on the deck due to noise and dust from their work. We would not stay there again.

Thanks for taking the time to write a review Edward. It's a shame you didn't look at the photos, floorplan and the listing information, that show the day bed (as opposed to a sofa), and clarify there's no kitchen sink. We also let you know about the backyard work when you booked, in case you wanted to cancel. We also realise that some guests struggle with the stairs, so we're happy to offer you a discount, should you wish to book our downstairs family flat. There's no stairs, plus it has a full kitchen (including a kitchen sink), plus a sofa ... and even a dining table!
