Wonderfully friendly hosts with a central location with views from a comfortable lounge to an endless procession of whales going south. The walking tracks started within metres of the accommodation.
This is a lovely property in all respects. Light-filled, clean and very comfortable, set in beautiful gardens, in a quiet and peaceful location - and with an absolutely mesmerising view.
A lovely, quiet place to relax, unwind, and soak up the ocean views.
We were lucky enough to spot a few whales from the balcony as well.
A great location, and base, to explore the beautiful local coastline.
Perfect for us !
Excellent location and excellent hosts. The dining / living area is the length of the house, facing east, with more than 50% window coverage while still being private. Great mix of ocean (with the odd whale) and vegetation (birds) to take in while sitting and doing nothing. Hope to visit again soon!

Great views and plenty of room
We enjoyed our stay at The View, despite the poor weather. It was good being able to look over bushland and the ocean as the rain squalls came across. There was plenty of room and all the facilities were good. Would have liked a cake of soap in the bathroom.

Sorry about the cake of soap. We do provide a liquid soap wash for guests in a hygienic dispenser. Paul
Property was all it promised, was presented beautifully and was well located with just a 15min walk to the Tathra Pub (with its own brewery and live entertainment), the wharf and the shops. The sea view was excellent making it a pleasant spot and we had spectacular electrical storms over the sea. Owners were helpful and pleasant. Undercover parking for our vehicle as well. Very happy with our stay.
We had such a lovely relaxing stay at “the View”. We were very comfortable and had everything we needed. We enjoyed looking out over the ocean and watching the weather change. We also enjoyed the walk along the cliff tops bush track from the backyard. I dare say we will come again! Thank you 😊
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The View in Tathra. Paul and Lee were friendly and considerate hosts who gave us space to enjoy our family holiday. The property was spotless and thoughtfully appointed, and the view from the living areas was just gorgeous. We saw Sea Eagles flying over the water and other birdlife in the garden. It would be an amazing location during whale migration seasons! We hope to visit again and happily recommend it to others.

Reluctantly we left on Tuesday after the best 4 day stay we have ever had anywhere - it is just a little piece of paradise, so clean, so private & quiet, beautifully appointed accommodation, and you must get out of bed to see the sunrise - a ball of fire emerging from the horizon, a perfect landscape with Paul & Lee's beautiful garden in the foreground then the corridor of bushland followed by that magnificent ocean. We will definitely be back only this time for a longer stay. Well done Paul & Lee on getting it all just right- thank you
A beautiful clean, bright & spacious accomodation. Full view of ocean & a whale! Delightful host. Advertisement says private wilderness however the owners were living above. The noise level from same was huge. Had we been informed of same we would have considered our options. Open disclosure would have been great.

On the weekend, I was on a Zoom conference call, which is unusual, and took it in the front room. It was such a beautiful morning, and I had the windows and doors open. I realize now that this must have impacted the quiet and feeling of solitude downstairs and apologise. Lesson learned.
We do not hide the fact that the building has two apartments and the hosts live upstairs. Although there is some sound transference, the apartment is very private and secluded, as our reviews testify.
Really comfortable accomodation. Tathra is a beautiful town. We really enjoyed walking in the bush and day trips to towns in the area. The views are just like the photos! Lee and Paul were great hosts.
This property was the perfect apartment to relax and unwind. Amazing ocean views plus gorgeous garden, spotlessly clean, modern and tidy, very comfortable for 4 people with everything you could need, wonderful hosts, and great location close to ocean walks and the local pub! Highly recommended
Impressive location overlooking cliffs and the sea.
Thoughtfully landscaped gardens and a clean and very well catered holiday residence.
Overall a relaxing and very enjoyable week's holiday.
Highly recommended.
A lovely week spent relaxing, enjoying the views and exploring the area. A very comfortable and cosy winter getaway, particularly enjoyed the well equipped kitchen and quality bed linen! And walking distance to the pub! Thanks Paul and Lee.
