Hi Erin thanks for taking the time to review our property. Yes the bathroom has original fixtures bath and sink both in great condition hence why they havnt been replaced. The bath is deep and relaxing and keeps our regular clientele returning year after year. We have elected to keep some nostalga in the house. The house was built in 1947 as stated in our listing "Culburra original". Each room is represented in photos that are true to the house. While the property is old the care taken in restoration of our family home has been done in such a way that it keeps the original feel of a beach side holiday house with modern convenience. All new appliances less than 3 years old. New roof 3 weeks old. Polished original hardwood floors through out living spaces. Ample sound system with google connectivity for av systems. All new bedding and pillows, Indoor out door dining and fully enclosed back yard for the fury members of families which we fully encourage our guest to bring on their holiday. The house is repainted yearly. While we are happy you loved the area we find your 3 star review to be somewhat perplexing due to the multiple 5 star reviews praising the property along with Stays premium host certification. We take all feedback with an aim to improve our guests experiences.

Very well equipped house.

Such a well equipped holiday house in a great location. The fenced in yard was perfect for our fur boy and our real boy enjoyed the books and games on the bookshelf. It was very easy to relax here, despite travelling with a 3 year old and thats really saying something. David is an absolute pleasure to deal with and extremely accommodating. We really appreciated the early check-in.Thanks for a lovely stay!

Older-style beach house in great location

We had a relaxing week at the Haven with our beach-loving spaniel. It’s an older-style beach house with some upgraded kitchen facilities but a fairly “original” bathroom. The front-porch recreation area is very comfortable, if a bit exposed, the enclosed backyard is ideal for a dog, and the location near two beaches and a kayak-friendly lake is excellent.

Hi Rob, thanks for the review. We are glad you had a relaxing time. Bathroom has original enamelled deep set bath that has our regulars coming back year after year. Deck is 7 meters wide and 4 meters deep. Fully roofed . Outdoor areas are what our guests love. Dinning and relaxing on the daybed or in the hammock. We elected to keep the enamelled sink as it ties in with the bath. We love the location as well so close to 2 beaches and of course that magic lake perfect for kids to learn to swim and adults to float around in. 😀 cheers the Haven.
