Another lovely stay at Bluff cottage, this time with girlfriends rather than family. Location is perfect and the place is actually better than the photos show. Really hard to find a place where we can get a bedroom each and this was just why we needed. Last time I stayed was summer, this time we had some wet and cool weather days so it was lovely to be able to make use of the log fire. I don’t think there is anything we’d need that this place doesn’t have. It’s so well set up.
A book and a view across to the water… can’t get much better.
Straight across the road for sunrise

This is our 5th time staying here and we can’t fault it. The perfect spot right across from the beach, great front garden with a deck to enjoy the view and its fenced so the little ones can run around safely. 30 second walk to the town Centre. House is nice and spacious, lots of rooms. It’s our fave place to go as a bigblended family. We will be back!

A great family gathering house

This was our second stay at The Bluff Cottage, and once again it was fantastic. I would highly recommend this family friendly house ...so close to beach and shops. So many rooms to choose to sleep in.

Family holiday

Lynette was a great host and the property perfect for us. The view ti the ocean was gorgeous and even with winter weather keeping us inside the fireplace was delightful. Lynette was a great host, easy to communicate with, and even put out thoughtful touches based on things we’d said. Would absolutely stay again!

Great family holiday house

Bluff cottage was perfect for our weekend in St Leonards for a family wedding. Plenty of room for our extended family. Kids loved the big backyard and games room. Great location across the road from the water and playground and a short walk to the pub for dinner. Homely place perfect for for young families.

Bluff Cottage

Here's a more fun and lively version of your review: We just wrapped up our second girls' weekend at Bluff, and let’s just say, it won’t be our last! This place nails the location—steps from the beach and a quick stroll to the shops. But the real magic is in the house itself—beautifully set up, super cozy, and perfect for our getaway. Can’t recommend this spot enough! Already counting down to next year!

Best beach stay

This is our 4th time staying at Bluff Cottage and we can’t fault it. The location is perfect, right across from the beach and less than a minute walk to the shopping strip. It is a great clean house, plenty of beds. Big back yard and front yard with a gate. (Perfect so the little ones can play but not ran away)It’s becoming our yearly tradition to go and we have so many great memories here. We even had an early check in without requesting this. Thanks for letting us stay again Lynette! We will be back again!

As soon as I walked into Bluff Cottage, I could tell that our family of 9 would enjoy their weekend. Spacious living areas, ample,comfortable beds.The house has a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.The large front deck looking out to the sea and pier was a highlight, as well as the accessibility of the beach. The hostess is lovely to communicate with. Our weekend there exceeded expectations!

Celebrating 60

Couldn't pick a better location - across the road from the beach/pier, around the corner from the shopping strip and the pub within easy walking distance. We felt 'at home' with plenty of living space and room for the extended family. The games room was a winner. A great weekend was had by all.
