Highly recommended by our guests who have said :
“The house is brilliant – a perfect base to explore this beautiful island.”
“Your house is lovely and modern with a spectacular view. On our first morning we woke up to a clear view, the sound of water, and a snow capped Mt Wellington. The house is clean and inviting with everything you need.”
“Very exciting to be sitting on the deck with a coffee and saw a pod of 15 dolphins, as if the view wasn’t already beautiful enough.”
“Every day I woke up to the view and thought I’d gone to heaven.”
“Even better than a 4 and 5 star hotel!”
“We had a fabulous time at your house. It was great to wake up to 'that view' of the bay. You have provided everything for a relaxing stay.”

Really appreciated being able to have my daughter's dog stay with us. The views were amazing whether sunny or stormy! Could not believe how well stocked the house was with anything a traveller might need.
The ideal beach house fully equipped with everything you could need/ think of from baby essentials to dog supplies, it had it all. We had a beautiful stay and thoroughly enjoyed family time with a few days away from home. Thank you!

Fabulous guests would welcome them back anytime. The property was left beautifully clean and tidy. Stripped beds and left in basket for washing. A great start to the New Year.
Dolphin View beach house had everything you could possibly want. We've stayed at various places around Australia and there's always something little we forget to take but we didn't have to worry here because they had thought of everything. My 12 year old son said this place had the best collection of games for all ages.
Wonderful, relaxing location. Glorious views, very well equipped holiday home.

Thank you Laura and friends for leaving house lovely and clean, wouldn’t have known you had dogs with you. Also thank you for taking the time to strip the beds. It was a pleasure to have you and your friends stay along with your figs.
The care, love, and effort that has gone into making this a delightful holiday home is exceptional. Everything from the beginning to the end was perfect. What a stay!
The rain was pouring when we arrived but it didnt matter, the accomodation was wonderful, everything you could ever need was thought of and more. The accomodation not only looked great but everthing was comfortable, beds, sofas etc. Once the weather cleared the views and the beach were fantastic. The whole family want to go back.
