Well-appointed Beach House in Great Location

We loved our two-week holiday in the "Blue House" and at Hawks Nest. Very comfortable house in quiet beach town (at least in winter). The beach is long and gorgeous and the town shops and amenities were excellent. Our fur babies also loved the house, enclosed backyard and area. The only downside was a non-functional reverse cycle heater (mandatory for winter stays) which we were only informed of the day before arrival but ceramic heaters were provided promptly which fixed the problem. The microwave was also non-functional (quite old) but the stove worked well for us. The other appliances were all quite new and excellent. We highly recommend this beach rental.

We look forward to welcoming you back for another visit soon! Kind regards, Holidays @ Tea Gardens Ray White

Awesome place

Most important thing for me firstly is to know the fence is secure for my dogs, this was spot on, very secure, lower at front but that's specified in property details. There is a coffee pod machine not mentioned or in photos so I didn't need to take my own, yes I am hopeless, gotta have a coffee. Beach close with Jimmy in the Bay orBennets facing ocean. Beautiful home, Reno's are great and had everything we needed. Spent most of our time on the deck and snoozing on outdoor lounge with the dogs loving the large grassy gardens. Will be back for sure

Lovely week away

Bella Luca is such a great property! There is lots of space, both inside and outside. We loved spending time on the back deck and Oscar our cavoodle loved the huge back yard - lots to sniff & explore! The house is so comfortable - the beds, the pillows and the lounge! Everything you need has been thought of, with books, dvd's, games & puzzles and lots of kitchen items & a great BBQ. The location is perfect being able to walk to the beaches, cafes and shops just a short walk from the home. This was the best week of R&R we've had in a long time & look forward to returning!

Wish it was mine!

A delightful holiday house. Felt at home and relaxed immediately, and can’t wait to come back. The back yard was sunny and a lovely spot to warm up in winter, as relaxing as the inside of the house. The dogs loved the easy walk to the beach, my apologies to the fishermen! A very comfortable stay, and I really do wish it was mine.
