Kelly is the best host we’ve ever had. Would definitely recommend her place for long term stays. She helped us settle into Australia so well!

Great place to stay! Very clean, comfortable, and in a fantastic location close to Erina Fair Shopping Centre. The fast internet and Netflix were a great bonus for relaxing after a busy day. We’d happily stay here again and highly recommend it.

We had a really lovely stay. The place was clean and spacious, set in a peaceful setting that made it really relaxing. I would love to come back, especially being close the Erina Fair, where we needed to be each day. Highly recomend.

Suggest to install a sink in the property apart from the bath sink for washing to be practical.

Thank you for your stay and for sharing your feedback. The suite is approved as a hotel‑style room, and council regulations don’t allow an additional sink or kitchen fixtures. It includes light‑meal facilities only, with a fridge, microwave, and dish‑collection service to keep things practical for guests. I appreciate your comments and thank you again for visiting.

The host Kelly was fantastic the entire process. From the time we booked until the time we checked out she had the best communication. The location was way bigger than the photos looked and immaculate inside. Close to everything in the area and value for money was one of the best places I’ve stayed. Care was also taken to ensure privacy and we never even noticed others around. Definitely staying here again when we come back up. Thanks heaps Kelly

Loved my stay here. The accommodation was exactly as described. Spotlessly clean. Very comfortable stay. As described there is no full kitchen but with a fridge, microwave and all the plates, utensils and a bathroom sink it was perfectly fine. Within a 2 minute walk there is a most delicious cafe that allows dogs on the verandah so that was a huge bonus. The size of the accommodation is impressive. So nice to be able to bring my two pooches. Highly recommend staying here.
