This was the perfect holiday house for a family getaway. The house has everything we needed and more. Did not have to use cars the whole trip as the beach and shops were walking distance.
Great property and location central to beaches and CBD. Easy to leave the car and walk everywhere. Within 5 mins there is access to eateries, shopping and beaches. Property was also pet friendly which is ideal when bringing the furry members of the family.
16 Canberra Tce was a clean, well appointed, two storey house close to Bullock St and Kings Beach - great for a family who loves the beach and op shopping like us. With the master bedroom upstairs and the other three bedrooms downstairs the house was well designed for privacy and families with children. Both toilets were in the bathrooms - so this was not great for a large group. There was no outdoor setting in the sloping back garden which would have been an extra bonus for more getaways. Wedged between two blocks of units this property was very close to lots of people you could hear.

Hello Frances! Thank you for your thoughtful review. We’re so pleased you found the house clean, well-appointed, and in a great location close to the beach and shops. We appreciate your feedback about the bathroom setup, the lack of an outdoor setting, and the proximity to neighbouring properties. These are helpful points for us to consider as we look at ways to improve the guest experience. We’re glad you enjoyed your stay overall and hope to welcome you back again. - CLHC Team
Good place for the very fit; let down by noisy neighbours
This is a good place but location is not great if you like to leave the car behind and walk to the beach with young children and beach gear/bikes/scooters. Yes, it is close to the beach but the walk is not for the faint of heart, elderly or those with young children/babies due to the steep inclines. We ended up driving the short distance to the beach, which was a shame.
Property itself was extremely clean, well appointed and comfy. Unfortunately, our neighbours were not considerate, with noise well past midnight most nights.
This property was a lovely home, nice furniture & clean. Well equipped in the kitchen. Could do with fans in downstairs bedrooms. Back yard was lovely but difficult to access. The rental agents were all friendly , lovely & helpful .
While the property itself was love and clean it is not well ventilated. With no air con and small windows it was extremely hot during the day and we struggled to sleep at night. This house would be nicer if it was air con or in winter.
Dealing with Caloundra Holiday Centre was difficult. The security deposit took over a week to be returned to my account. When asking about other dog friendly properties, the staff member yelled at me that Saltys is not dog friendly and she doesn’t know how I was allowed to have my dog there, even though I informed them I have a small dog (Shih Tzu) when originally enquiring about the property.

Hi Rebecca
Thankyou, we will pass this feedback onto the owner in relation to air-conditioning. The property was built as a 'Passive design' home meaning that it is designed to normally maintain a comfortable temperature in the home. Normally with this type of design, there isn't a great need for extra cooling or heating which is why they do not have it. Some of the rooms have ceiling fans and in the rooms without, there should be tower fans for ventilation. We will still take this feedback on and advise the owners of the property.
I can see that we refunded your security deposit 3 days after you had departed, however, the banks normally have a couple of days in processing times, and the refund date was on a Friday, and then it was the weekend so that is why it has taken a little longer unfortunately. Normally we refund them within a few days of you departing but we have also had a lot to get through due to the extension of school holidays and there is a limit to what you can refund per day. I apologize for any inconvenience this might have caused. I am sincerely sorry if you were queried about your dog as yes this property is definitely pet friendly for small dogs. This is still quite a new property under our management and we have quite a lot of staff who are still getting to know it. I cannot imagine any of our lovely staff meaning to come across that way, they were probably just worried in the moment. Sorry for the misunderstanding Rebecca.
Kind Regards
CHC
