The property is so sweet and the views are sublime. It was so lovely to sit in bed, with a cup of tea, overlooking beautiful Blackhead beach. Our dog was also very happy to run around on the beach. Would definitely stay again.

Black Head is gorgeous. We really loved the location and the ocean views were amazing with plenty of whale sightings. Also being able to hear the ocean from the property was lovely. The property is a very well maintained, charming neat and tidy original beach cottage. The bird life was great, with a rare regent bower bird in the garden. It was great to be able to take our dog with us. Absolutely no complaints, would love to stay there again.

Apart from a couple of years during covid we've stayed in this lovely, perfectly located little cottage every year for ten years now. We love it that much. You can see the ocean, you can hear the ocean, you can walk to the shops, it has everything. Already looking forward to next year.

I feel very fortunate to have this cottage and to be able to share it with others.

Why they chose this property

This beach cottage was built by my father in 1960 and has remained in the family ever since. It is our home away from home and we love to share it with people who value time by the ocean in simple yet aesthetically pleasing and very welcoming surroundings.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful views, very warm and welcoming environment. You can feel that this cottage has been loved for generations.
