The best location

Little River Cottage is perfectly located. Close to shops but far enough away not to impact on your stay. Easy access to the park and bridge being opposite the path leading down to the bridge. I highly recommend this house.

Very comfortable little cottage!

Little River Cottage is a great find, a very comfortable and clean cottage right across from the river and 7 mins walk to the beach, best of both worlds. From the bridge you can see the fish and sting rays below and enjoy the sunrise and sunsets reflecting on the water. The cottage is well equiped and has everything you need for a great stay.

Overall very happy with all aspects of our stay from the property location and property managerrty

I would not hesitate to recommend the property even though the renovations are yet not complete but in saying that we were not short on anything and we felt right at home and the stay was very comfortable but what really sold us on our stay was totally on the property manager she was fantastic and very helpful and between the lovely home and the dedicated helpful property manager I would highly recommend this place for your next holiday. My family and I will definitely be going back.

Good location but not clean

While the location was good and communication was fine, the condition of the property was very disappointing on arrival. We had to clean the kitchen before we could even prepare a meal. The benches were covered in grime and stickiness. There were cockroaches, and the oven was unusuable in it's current state. Really quite terrible considering we were paying so much for the property and then there was a cleaning fee on top of it.

About the host

Hosted by Toni Fuller

Host profile image
I'm a Photographic Artist and Designer at Yummy Linen Bedding, married to a tradie - Refrigeration Mechanic and handyman. We have been gradually renovating our 1946 beach cottage since we bought it nine years ago. The space is relaxed and inviting and filled with vintage charm, like polished hardwood flooring, art deco wall cutouts, and some original light fixtures. Add to this my love of mid-century modern and vintage decor, and you will find a collection of kitchen wear and collectibles scattered throughout our home.

Why they chose this property

Stuarts Point has a flat/level topography made of sand. We are surrounded by water from wetlands, the river, and the ocean. Located on the Macleay Valley Coast, Stuarts Point is a quaint coastal village that grows Avocados, Mangoes, Custard Apples, stone fruits, native trees, and locally caught seafood—crabs, oysters, fish, and prawns.
Loved by retirees for the quietness, natural beauty and flat land, you won't find any nightclubs here!
We cater to adults who want and need to relax and unwind. Our kitchen is set up for cooking, and Wi-Fi and Netflix are included in the booking price.
Plus, we have just installed a dishwasher! YES!!
Always reach out if you want more info.

What makes this property unique

Once you arrive, you can park the car and walk to almost everything Stuarts Point has to offer.
We are only four houses from the local supermarket, butcher, takeaway shop, and chemist. Our location is perfect as we are across from the walk bridge to the beach, and we get a lovely ocean breeze at the cottage.
You can enjoy all the local birds that hang out in our garden and trees. Birders regularly visit our cottage, as we have a great viewpoint for watching them go about their lives.
