Timaru in Sorrento is a quality new home in a lovely tranquil pocket of Sorrento, not far from the secluded Tideaways beach area. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there as did our family and grandchildren. The home is fully airconditioned, has a beautiful large deck area. The hosts even stocked the great coffee machine with coffee, now that tells you something. Plenty of games and activities for the grandchildren which they appreciated. Will definitely look at booking again if we head down that way next year. Thanks for a great stay!

Timaru in Sorrento provided exactly what we were seeking in a holiday home, close to Sorrento township and the beach. It's spacious, the kitchen is extremely well equipped. Our children enjoyed the downstairs table tennis table, bunks and TV, whilst the adults loved the openness of the large family room, kitchen and meals area and adjoining outdoor area for entertaining and cooking on the BBQ. Seamless check in process. Lovely beds and linen. Highly recommended.
Beautiful home and quiet surroundings. The house has everything you need for a wonderful getaway! Thank you

Absolutely love staying at 28 Timaru Close Sorrento since 2016. It has everything you need for a wonderful time away and each time we come there is always something new to explore. This time we loved playing Table tennis in the bottom bunk room. We will definitely be back again next August.

This is our 6th time staying at this beautiful, immaculately presented property. It has been a wonderful experience every single time with the owners thoughtfully going above and beyond in catering for the needs of their guests. Looking forward to returning again.
Beautiful house, excellent lay out and great for a group of friends, girls weekend away or families and for our winter get away, the fireplace was a well enjoyed feature!
Great house, great spot, great setup. We had a wonderful time, being bused around by Designated Driver and experiencing the wineries, gin distillery and brewery. Our location was perfect and the house was ideal for what we wanted. A massive bonus was linen being provided!!

Thank you Rowena,
Super pleased you enjoyed your stay at Relax-at-Sorrento. What a fantastic idea to use the Designated Drivers for your tour. We hope to see you again soon!
Our fantastic weekend commenced with a perfect check-in process which was soon to be followed up by opening the front door of this amazing home, impeccably clean and superbly furnished and decorated. This is without doubt one of the best placed we have stayed at within the area. Thanks to Beach House Rentals too who made everything so easy.
