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.
Just what was needed. A short break in a very comfortable cottage, well appointed and cosy.Reminiscent of house in which we grew up.Good access to the beach, backyard great for the pooch and ate every meal on the front deck.Will visit again

Heather,thanks for taking the time to write a review and we are so pleased you had a great stay, see you again!!!
We were welcomed with a very clean, tidy, aesthetically decorated cottage 2 mins walk to the dog friendly beach. Also within walking distance to the beautiful calm lake and coffee shop with great burgers. The owners of the property were prompt with communication, helpful and very accommodating. We had a wonderful, relaxing and easy holiday.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. We are very happy to hear that you had a comfortable stay 😊. We love our location as well. So close to all the beaches and lake. We hope to see you all again.
Great location, house was clean and exactly as described. Front deck was perfect to watch the world go by. Our 9 year old choc lab loved it as well, even getting lots of cuddles from the neighbours.

We are very happy that your time at the Haven was relaxing and enjoyable. Our neighbours love all the doggos that visit. We hope you visit again.
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!

Thanks for taking the time to review, we are so pleased you got some rest and relaxing in at The Haven!
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.
