About the host

Host profile image
I'm a mum to two very active teens - they both love swimming in the ocean! I run my own business (so does hubbie), so we're always on the go! We love great restaurants and escaping the rat race as often as possible - which is why we LOVE Beached@Caves so much.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the location of this property - Caves Beach is such a gorgeous little town, the beach itself is absolutely perfect and it's less than a 2 hour drive north of Sydney. I love exploring the caves too as I find something new and beautiful every time.

This is where I feel I can breathe - away from the pressures of the city and my business. The whole vibe is relaxing and friendly. I love that you can walk to restaurants, the IGA & bottle shop, the surf club (where the best coffee is currently!), the pool and the beach. You could literally not use your car during your whole stay (which is such a blessing!).

There are other beaches and great places to go to with the kids all within a few minutes drive. If you want to play ten pin bowling or see a movie (or get some retail therapy!), then Kotara is around 15 minutes north. Newcastle is about a half hour drive north.

The house is so perfect for either two small families or group of friends or one larger family. I love the deck (where you can see the sea over the tops of the bungalows), the layout of the rooms, the private back yard, everything!

The house is in a community association area - this means the streets are private and only 10km/hr - so safe for kids! You see stacks of kids on scooters, bikes, skate boards and kicking a soccer ball around. It's lovely!

As a mum I've made sure the beds are super comfy and the internet is fast - so everyone is happy and gives me a break LOL! I've also set up the garage as a kids' hangout space with a ping pong table and a fusball game to help entertain them!

What makes this property unique

Minutes walk from so many things:
* gorgeous caves and secret coves to explore
* the beach
* the pool
* cafes and restaurants
* IGA and bottle shop

Its a friendly, relaxing home away from home - and there's something for every member of the family, so it is a proper break from the daily grind!
