Response from VrboOwner on 10 December 2025
Thanks for your feedback Julie. Given our assistance to you over your stay, we're a little surprised at your low score - as we don't control blackouts so not having power for an hour or so was out of our control I'm afraid. As you may appreciate, as we're so close to the sea, surface rust is our continuous enemy. We also replace our BBQ yearly (sometimes twice) due to this, it may as well be sitting in salt water! It is always kept clean and the cooking plates are never left rusty (maybe you just needed to lift the lid? Apologies if it wasn't as tidy as you would've liked, but it is very much useable. Perhaps in future, you could ask for assistance? We're only too happy to help make our guests' holiday as stress-less as possib/e).

About the host
Hosted by Matthew
We love hosting and sharing our little piece of paradise with others. We have designed our suites to be a home away from home, in order to give guests the most comfortable, convenient and relaxing space possible. We prepare for you like welcome family!
Why they chose this property
To have the beach at our fingertips was a huge drawcard for us. Being nestled in a sleepy coastal village gives us a unique and tangible connection to the lake and the beach, and also to the local community. Step back to a simpler time, and breathe in the salty air!
What makes this property unique
Saltwater Apartments are uniquely situated where the lakemouth meets the sea. Directly opposite the beach, guests only have a handful of steps from their apartment to the warm, white sands of Cathie Beach.
