This property accommodates dogs and was very good in that regard. You wouldn’t want to have a dog that jumps waist high fences though. The house is very clean and well maintained and we were very comfortable.
Great family/dog friendly house, lovely view and very comfortable- Kerry helped with anything we needed.Loved the house being up the hill - great view of the NYE fireworks.
We loved our stay. House was perfect for a laidback family beach holiday, plenty of room for the kids to run around and great deck with a stunning view to sit and watch the sunset. Would definitely stay again.
The house was perfect, location was lovely and quiet. The house was clean and pristine ready for our stay. Kerry the host was very prompt with communication the whole time. 10/10 Definitely reccomend staying here, we will definitely be back!
Great views, simple accommodation that has good amenities. Sheets and linen provided would be better.One of the bedroom windows didn't close so not secure at all.The backyard is great however not totally secure for dogs, especially if they can jump a fence. The fences are only just over a meter tall. We needed to leave our dogs with friends when out as we didn't trust they wouldn't jump fence and go looking for us.

Hi Bonita, I hope you enjoyed your stay. Just to address a couple of your issues. We were unaware the bedroom window was not closing. Had you contacted us during your stay we would have fixed this. With regard to linen, we state on the property description that sheets & towels are not provided. Our reasoning behind this is that providing linen increases the cleaning costs substantially and we like to keep the cottage at a lower cost so it is more affordable for those travelling on a budget.
Thanks Bonita
We had a great time at the property looking around Merimbula and Eden, property was fantastic and Kerrie/Stirling were great hosts who went over and above after inadvertently leaving some luggage there. Highly recommend!
Property makes you feel at home. Very well appointed and very comfortable. Location is quiet and picturesque. Loved our stay with our dogs. Planning our next trip

We had an amazing Christmas in Merimbula. The house was in a fantastic position, a short drive to town and only a ten minute walk to the beach. Views of the ocean from the deck and a great backyard for our dog. We would have loved to have stayed for longer, it was perfect for us! We would definitely stay again

Hi Hannah, we are so happy you enjoyed your stay. You’ll have to come for longer next time ☺️Happy NY. Cheers Kerry & Stirling
This house has everything we needed to zone out and relax away from the city. All the classic coast house touches with a view looking back on the bay. Would come back.
Great house and huge fenced back garden in a superb location- with a nice view. Older style house which perfectly suited us and our 2 schnauzers. Highly recommend.
Very comfortable, well presented and really lovely views over the bay to the south, large fenced backyard that our Border Collie enjoyed.
The kitchen was well provisioned, lounge and dining room spacious and the bedrooms a good size and beds were comfortable, we would definitely recommend this property for a relaxing holiday
We were extremely pleased with this property and host.
Immaculate presentation, perfect location. Property had everything you need. Host has excellent communication. We stay in Merimbula regularly and would most definitely book here again. Perfect!

Hi Janine, thanks you so much for your review. It is a great little beach cottage! Perfect for relaxing and enjoying some coastal life. We look forward to your future visits. Cheers Kerry & Stirling
Excellent location, close to Bar Beach & the wharf & walking tracks. The option for linen would have been good. No wifi (as listed on property description). A few basics like tea & coffee would have been nice but the kitchen was fully kitted out & we could cook a few meals. Easy checkin/out. Excellent communication. Lovely hosts
