About the host

Host profile image
Hi there, I live in Sydney with my husband Marty and 3 young adult kids. I really enjoy managing bookings and hosting families at our "Happy Place" Casbah Caves Beach. I love all things property - renovating, design and styling.
I aim to ensure that our holiday property is a complete home away from home for our guests to ensure they have the most relaxing holiday possible :)

Why they chose this property

Casbah is located in stunning Caves Beach which is an easy 80min drive from Sydney and the perfect spot to spend a week relaxing or if you're more adventurous there are plenty of outdoor activities on offer.

Spend time exploring the local beaches, visiting its namesake sea caves, discovering the Lake Macquarie area and all the water-sports on offer, scenic coastal walks and enjoying a drink or meal at Caves Coastal Bar and local cafes.

If you prefer a slower pace, you'll enjoy relaxing at the beach or just enjoying the comforts at Casbah - large swimming pool, outdoor dining and lounge areas, BBQ, pool table or during the cooler months sitting around the gas fireplace or outdoor firepit

What makes this property unique

Casbah is centrally located in Caves Beach and only 200m from the beautiful, safe and patrolled Caves Beach or Hams Beach (if you prefer bigger surf), and also a leisurely stroll to the awesome Caves Coastal Bar/Pub, cafes and supermarkets. No need to get in your car once you arrive as everything is within easy walking distance :)
