An Absolute Must

We stayed 4 nights to celebrate our son's graduation from HMAS Cerberus. What a magical place! Tidal House is comfortable, clean, well appointed; there's just about everything a person could need. We enjoyed spending the days walking on the beach, sharing meals and just relaxing together. Tidal House is a peaceful location and the extra cottage was perfect for my Mum to retire to in the evenings when we were all talking and playing cards. Narelle was a wonderful host! She went above and beyond to make our stay the best it could be. I have told friends and family about this place and definitely want to come back myself. Infinite thanks.

Relaxing holiday in central location

Tidal house was a wonderful stay, that we’d highly recommend. We would easily stay there again on our next visit to the area. The house had an airy, relaxed vibe, and was a serene place to stay. The yard was great for kids to throw a ball around and have our mandatory Easter egg and spoon race. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms had lovely garden aspects. The house was well fitted out with kitchen ware, games, and lots of handy items, like drying racks, laundry hampers, wall adapters with USB chargers, and a Bluetooth speaker. The deck was great in warm evenings and the location was central to most experiences on the Peninsula. So it was very practical to live in. It was a nice relaxing holiday.
