Brilliant little hideaway!
We had a fantastic long weekend break at Austins Retreat. The house is a great size for a couple wanting to have a relaxing getaway. The house is very clean, well presented, and has everything you need including a great BBQ. Close to the beach and shops. Jean was brilliant to deal with in making the booking, very responsive via email and a pleasure to speak to. We would highly recommend this property!

Great place to stay!
Myself and my 2 children stayed at Austin's Retreat in Jan 2014. We found the place lovely. The aircon was fantastic and very welcomed because we stayed during a week of 40deg heat!! It was really clean with new appliances. Great shower, homely, lovely garden very comfortable. The owners communication with us was excellent and they refunded our bond promptly after we finished our stay. Would thoroughly recommend Austin's Retreat. :)
