Absolutely brilliant, the property was amazing.

The place was amazing, so close to the beach and the shops just down the road. The owners should be very proud of what they have accomplished and have to say it was one of the cleanest places we have ever stayed at. I could not fault the property at all. It had all the amenities you need, and was the best place to spend over Christmas. Thank you

Lovely house beautifully decorated

The house was great, just what we needed for our summer holiday and a stones throw from the shops. Big outdoor area and tastefully decorated. The only thing I’d say as because it’s a traditional fibro shack it gets pretty warm on those hot days - air conditioner was needed a lot! Still would return again.

Gorgeous beach cottage

We had a fantastic stay at Inlet View Cottage. The house, while small, is beautifully renovated and very clean and comfortable. We all slept well in the very comfy beds. The outdoor space makes the living space so much bigger, and we spent a lot of time relaxing out there. We loved the extra touch of the veggie garden, and very well stocked kitchen. We would love to stay again.

Easter Break

We enjoyed a wonderful relaxing 5 night stay over Easter. Cottage was lovely, comfortable & tastefully decorated with a well stocked kitchen and great shower/bath. Weather was perfect for making the most of dining outside & we got the fire going one evening when it was a bit cooler. Thank you for the Easter treats, fresh flowers & milk for our arrival. There’s cafes & a general store around the corner. We enjoyed bike riding, fishing, walking & the beach nearby and had a day trip to Wilson’s Prom.
