For an older house, it has been styled and organised beautifully! So much thought has gone into providing the ultimate holiday! Well decked out in the kitchen, bedrooms, living areas, laundry, bathrooms, verandah to enjoy the sea breeze and outdoor entertaining area. There is the main house, plus an additional separate room with queen bed and bathroom if needed. Our stay was made perfect by having great communication, before and during our stay! Will definitely stay there again soon!

Lovely comfortable cottage!
Fence so dogs could go straight into h back yard is my only suggestion!
Moving interstate mid-way stay. Stunning location. Will come back. Property fabulous. Would have given 5 stars if fence surrounded both dwelling entrances, and roof over centre patio area didn’t leak. Beautifully presented.

We had a nice time, the cottage was comfortable, clean and nicely furnished inside. The beds were super comfortable. We loved the little details, the basket of complimentary snacks, the fact that coffee, tea and condiments were already in the pantry, there was washing powder and dishwashing detergent and linen was provided, the teens were happy with the wifi. It was in a nice neighbourhood and walking distance to the local cafe and the break-wall leading to the beach. We even had regular visits from a friendly magpie who would sit on the verandah and warble away, not in the slightest bit perturbed by our presence. Would recommend to friends & family.

Great location, everything we needed. Leaky breezeway/bbq area was annoying- but would happily stay there again!

Hi Jennifer
Thank you for your review from your recent stay with us and your feedback from the BBQ area.
We look forward to welcoming you back soon.

Our North Haven was great. The house was a true beach house, it was so comfortable, clean & kitchen was very well equipped. Small but lovely!
We were just a 10 min walk down the road from the beach so our dog & 12 yr old son loved it.
We only stayed two nights, but could have stayed a lot longer. The house was well set up and well situated in North Haven. We enjoyed our walks along the break wall watching the dolphins.
