A return trip to Blue Haven having first stayed in 2024. Great for both us and our dog, who prefers outside. The covered deck can be closed off to contain him overnight and the yard is fully fenced and good for play. The cottage suits us perfectly. Small kitchen but Iluka has plenty of eating places. Tatum is a great host. Lots of informative literature for guests, although not all is current.

Cozy, Coastal and Canine Friendly

Simple little coastal getaway! Just a 2-minute walk to the river and a quick drive to both the dog friendly beach and the calmer swimming spot at The Bluff. The location was convenient - bakery, takeaway and the new Sedgers Reef Hotel were all a short walk. The yard is fully fenced and grassy, with a gated porch. No carpet, easy to keep clean and everything as advertised.

Great spot

If you're looking for a classic beach shack that is close to everything you need then this is the spot. Cute, neat and tidy and well equipped. Nice sized full fenced yard for the dogs and mature, lush gardens for the humans to enjoy while sitting on the porch. Great place that is good value for money

Amazing cottage stay

Our stay at this little iluka cottage was so great! Beautiful house, very clean and stylish. Well equipped! So close to the river foreshore walk and not far to the beach, shops. You can literally walk everywhere. So nice to have our pooch with us and has the perfect size yard. Excellent host too :) Thanks Tatum

Cute cozy cottage

Very charming and comfortable cottage. Has all the necessary things. Close to everything Iluka has on offer. We were blessed to spot dolphins and whales from Iluka breakwall. Magical! It's a place to get away from it all and enjoy peace and quiet.
