About the host
Hosted by Lorraine Ratcliffe
I'm English and came to Australia in 1999 . I started off my career in the Hotel Industry, then Travel, Recruitment, Real Estate and back to Recruitment. So I guess I am a people person!
Clive and I discovered Myola on a Sunday drive looking for a property that was advertised for sale. We had stayed in Huskisson before and had found that "Husky" was too busy for us, we wanted a place to escape the "busy hum" that Sydney has.
Myola is unique and is usually very peaceful (gets busy in School hols), we bought "Saltwater" 18 months later after our trop in June 2008, our Golden Lab Ollie loved the beach and we wanted a Dog friendly beach. Saltwater was a holiday home when we viewed it and we decided leave it that way, putting in a mix of old and new, keeping it relaxed and chilled with a beach theme.
We have tried to keep everything like a "home from home" so that our guests can enjoy themselves and not have to bring the kitchen sink. We also have listened to our guests and made additions over the years. Compared to other places we have stayed in I believe we are well catered and we have guests re-booking year after year.
Now we have Quincy, a Chocolate Lab, he loves it there too and goes a little bit crazy every time he arrives in Myola.
We hope you love it there too, it is a special spot very undiscovered 12 years ago, still a little sleepy village and a place to chill/recharge.

Why they chose this property
Saltwater is on a 800 m2 fenced block, the garden is tropical with 4 Giant Bird of Paradise trees and well established plants.
We also have a couple of resident Blue tongue's and its usual to see the big kangaroos running down the street! It's a beautiful area, safe swimming for the kids and plenty of space for Kayaking or Stand-up board activity. The birdlife is amazing and they come for a daily feed around 4pm. The house is set away from the street so we are lucky to have a quiet setting and a bush view from the lounge/dining. Flat block, good for kids and your fur babies. We have always been scrupulous in our cleaning practices, steam cleaning after each stay and cleaning all surfaces.

What makes this property unique
Myola is simply unique!
We try to make it a home for you too with all that you need and some little extra touches that hopefully make you feel very welcomed and in a relaxed.
We are being discovered and I am sure it will get busier over the next few years and the locals are saying we will be the next "Hyam's".
We have a fabulous long sandy beach and beautiful spit (that Huskisson try's to steal in their marketing!) plus plenty of walking tracks and the water's edge a short distance away. You can hear the surf from the property of a morning and night as its so quiet.
We have a fire pit that can be used mostly in the Autumn/Winter months as we are in a bush zone.
Very much a kid friendly area and a great place to take the dog on holiday, such a shame to leave part of the family at home or in care, bring them with you!
