Aloha - Short Drive to Berry & The Beach - Fireplace and Firepit
2024 Award Winner - Legend Award.
2022 Award Winner - Best Family Friendly Property.
You will be a ten minute walk from the river and a 20 minute walk or short car ride to Shoalhaven Heads Beach, of one of the South Coast's finest beaches, a 10min drive to the picturesque town of Berry, and only 25mins to the world-famous white sands of Jervis Bay.
Choose to swim, surf, boogie board or just float under blue skies in water as crystal clear as a mountain stream, where your four-legged friend can run for kilometres and the kids can splash in the waves whilst mum and dad relax.
You’ll be staying at a bright, spacious, renovated beach house that has room for multiple families to stay in comfort. Inside a large living area with room for all the family is a great space to relax. Open up the doors and enjoy the beach breezes or take a walk outside where you’ll find multiple areas to relax. The garden is fully fenced throughout and the back garden is the ideal spot to launch a tennis ball to the dog, read a book or just watch the children play. As night descends, gather around the big table on the patio (or the fire pit) and enjoy the best view of the milky way you’ve ever seen!
When you do come inside your only difficulty will be deciding how to relax. Maybe kick back on the couch and enjoy a movie, listen to some tunes on the bluetooth speaker or reconnect the family over a well-contested board game. Whilst the kids and dog play you can be busy uploading your amazing holiday photos using the complimentary unlimited Wifi.
When it’s finally time to hit the hay, you’ll find four bedrooms with inviting beds with extra pillows and blankets if you need them. Three bedrooms are located within the main house with 1 bedroom as a detached studio & perfect as a retreat for kids or teens. This property features a combustion fireplace and Air conditioning in the main house as well as fans for summer and heater for winter. Fan and heater in the studio to keep you so comfortable that you won’t want to get up the next day. But you’ll already know from our exclusive guidebook that there are so many things to see and do in the Shoalhaven Heads & Jervis Bay area – from where to shop and where to dine out, to in-the-know local knowledge of the area’s “hidden secrets” that you’ll want to jump out of bed and explore!
But before you head out for the day be sure to enjoy a lazy holiday breakfast and a complimentary espresso coffee on the back patio.
Holidays are precious and memories are forever. We invite you to make beautiful family memories with us at Aloha.

The house was perfect for a groups of friends who were going to a concert at the Berry Showground. It was a comfortable house in a quiet location, and we put the pizza oven to good use on the first night.

We enjoyed our stay at Aloha. Excellent location, great property as described and checkin was easy. Thank you, we would definitely stay again. A clothes airer would be a great addition and instructions on igniting the oven as we couldn’t get it to work for us.

Thank you for your review. We're glad to hear the listing met your expectations. Your suggestion regarding the TV guide is appreciated—we’ll look into making that clearer for future guests.
Such a great location. So quiet. Walking distance to the beach. Lovely spacious home. There were 5 of us and it was not crowded at all. A bit of dust on kitchen lamps and some surfaces but everything else nice and clean. Well equipped kitchen and the extra shower and toilet in the laundry was great.

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the quiet location, spaciousness, and proximity to the beach. It's wonderful that the home accommodated your group comfortably, and that the extra shower and toilet were useful.
We appreciate your note about the dust on the kitchen lamps and surfaces, and we'll ensure our cleaning team addresses that going forward. Thanks again, and we hope to welcome you back for another relaxing stay!
We arrived on Friday afternoon to find a freshly cleaning house - Aloha.The house was situated in a flat area so great to walk the dog and not far from the water. We had a great meal at the Shoalhaven Heads Bowing Club located nearby.
The bedrooms were spacious, the bathrooms were close to the bedrooms with a great shower. The lounge was expansive to fit us all on it with a great open plan kitchen and lounge area. We had a lovely weekend!

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Listing accuracy
1) The gas stove in the kitchen wasn’t working at all except the smallest one on the front left. We reported it to someone while preparing for dinner but no one called us back throughout the stay. 2) The basin in the middle bathroom was clogged and we couldn’t find anything to fix it. 3) Couldn’t use the DVD player at all.

Your comments have been noted for internal review to ensure maintenance items are identified and resolved between stays.
Sorry to hear your weekend didn’t turn out as you had planned. For future reference, we kindly ask that any issues be reported immediately during your stay, as per our rental agreement. This allows us the opportunity to rectify any concerns quickly, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience. We value your input as it helps us improve and maintain the quality of our properties.
Our family group loved staying together at Aloha! It was very close to Berry and the beach/lagoon which was fantastic. Thank you so much for having us! I'd only recommend to the owner/cleaner to clean the bathroom/laundry ceiling, include instructions for the dishwasher and install blinds on the bedroom window in the granny flat for better privacy. Overall it was fantastic for a weekend away!

This house is very suitable for larger groups - families or friends. Shoalhaven Heads is a beautiful location and the house was clean and with everything you need. Friends and I went down for an online conference and the internet access was easy, fast and reliable. Loved the fire pit out the back.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. We’re thrilled that you had a pleasant stay, and we can’t wait for the next holiday that brings you back.
Property is lovely - with a beautiful garden. The kitchen needed a bit of a clean when we arrived, just the shelves and pantry area. We had no internet or wifi for the duration of our stay. The property management staff were excellent! They had the provider ring us twice, but we had no reception so troubleshooting was impossible. Overall, the house is lovely with space for a family and the pet! Very quiet street with lots of very friendly neighbours. Short drive to Seven Mile Beach. We enjoyed it.

We’re so glad you and your family had a wonderful time. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we really appreciate it, and hope we see you all again in the future.
Arrived and had to clean ALL the toilets. All were still dirty, very off putting and disappointing way to start a holiday.
Sink taps all mouldy but wiped off quite easily (so not sure why not cleaned prior to our arrival given so easy to clean off?). Showers also mouldy but used these without cleaning. Alerted management via email and photos of issues day after arrival. I did expect to hear back during our stay to rectify (apologise or even explain lack of cleanliness) but no response apart from ‘we will let the owner know’.
Carpets dirty and stained in all rooms.
Wi fi did not work at all during stay.
Also had to wash sheets on one bed as still dirty (assume from previous occupant).
Outdoor searing area nice was and yard secure. Quiet neighbourhood. Short drive to shops and beach.

Hi Alicia, we're really sorry to hear that. This isn't the norm at Aloha at all, we never get complaints about the property so something somewhere must have gone wrong! We apologise this wasn't rectified for you, it seems looking back through communication the cleaner did not respond to our attempts to find out what has happened and organise them to go back to the property. It's a great property in a fab spot and we do hope you can see it at it's best again sometime!
The property was as per advertised. Although we had a small issue with check-in after a short phone call this was quickly resolved, (new system check-in). Upon arrival we were advised that the washing machine was not working but this didnt worry us as we were only staying for a few days. However, within 24 hours the washing machine had been replaced.
The only issue we had was a an unpleasant smell from one of the bedrooms, which we believe happened with the previous occupants. Although the room had been cleaned, the smell had returned and we had to shut the room for our duration. If they had time in between stays, they need to shampoo the carpet, which is not the fault of the owner, but we would have been happy to allow deep cleaning to have happened during our stay to get the problem sorted. We were however, suggested to open windows and spray air freshener which is not really ideal when you are not in the property all day.
The house was spacious and had all the items you required for living away from home. If you like coffee I would recommend taking your own coffee machine with you.
Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property to anyone.

Hi Sarah, we're glad our team could sort any issues for you so swiftly. Our cleaner did note the bedroom odour and she went back to steam clean as best she could. The coffee machine is an espresso machine with Aldi expressi brand pods. Thanks for a great review and recommendation of Aloha!
