Fantastic cottage with uninterrupted ocean views

Had a great time staying here and the cottage was clean, comfortable and beautifully presented as in the photos. Could have gone for energetic walks along the coastline or down to Coalcliff beach but it was too good spending time on the private deck enjoying the spectacular views!!. Left totally relaxed. Will definitely be back!

Breathtakingly Spectacular

This absolute cliff front cottage boasts the most stunning ocean views of any property I’ve have visited. Together with the modern furnishings inclusive of the fully equipped kitchen, we chose to remain in the cottage for our entire weekend. The warm & efficient hospitality of our host was the icing on the cake. Thank you.

Lovely little Clift top cottage.

All as described and great location for exploring the area. Fantastic uninterrupted views out to sea. Very private and well equiped. Lots of little lights and candles so you can create quite a pleasant ambiance at night. Great entertainment systems and wifi. The entrance to the property is a bit tricky and watch out for the “mean” curb on exit. Unfortunately the garage is not available which would have been nice and we would have bought a different car if it had been. Quite a few steps down to the property so the property is not suited to those that might struggle with them. There is a single double bed and a sofa bed in the lounge. Probably not suited for those with adventurous kids, the end of the garden has an open fence and then it’s the cliff. Highly recommended and we loved staying here.

It was just perfect.

We stayed 9 wonderful nights and enjoyed the accommodations. I was a bit confused with finding the key to enter the cottage, and quickly called Judy. She was there in less than 10 minutes to assist. This is such a great location, not only for the fabulous views and outside decks to eat and lounge while doing so, but for also using public transportation (train stations minutes across from the residence) to travel to Sydney Central and other locations--which we also did while having a rental car. Definitely stop to pick up any grocery or other items before arriving. There are plenty of kitchenware and cookware to accommodate cooking your own meals. Comfy king-size bed and nice shower! Good layout of the cottage. If not your plan, you may just be tempted to just stay put in the cottage to soak in that wonderful view, constant sounds of the sea, Seabreezes, and submittal to sheer relaxation it brings. If that and more is what you're looking for, On the Edge Coalcliff will do. Note: there are a number of steps to get down to the cottage entrance. I would also recommend updating instructions to get on wi-fi (password is case sensitive), include in information book on table more public transportation use information, include a full wardrobe use (lots of blankets and other linen took up a lot of space).

Fabulous location and experience

Spectacular view. House very well equipped and had all the comforts just like home. It was very clean and fresh in appearance. My only suggestion would be to let people know there is only 1 car space on the premises. Apart from that I can't wait to return to The Edge

Highly recommend a stay at On the Edge. The location is private & quiet, the view is stunning, the fireplace is cosy & the bed is very comfortable. It is only a short drive for some great food options & we even saw a show at the Anita Theatre in Thirroul.
