About this property

The perfect home and location for Fun in the Sun at Harrington

With the Riverside Walk at the back door, fishing is two steps away or you can walk, ride or scoot to pubs, golf, or the main shopping centre. Don’t like walking, then call a courtesy bus to take you to one of the pubs for a meal. Perhaps you like to travel by water, then launch your kayak or paddle board and discover the beautiful Manning River.

The house is set up with a family holiday in mind. There are indoor and outdoor kitchens, three sitting areas and upper and lower decks. If you need to bring work with you, a separate study and WiFi make this easy. The house has reverse cycle air conditioners and ceiling fans. You also have access to a washing machine and a double lock up garage.

There is so much to see and do in Harrington and surrounds. Walk or swim at Harrington or Crowdy Beaches, perhaps spotting whales or dolphins along the way, go fishing, play golf, visit Cattai Wetlands for bird spotting, go surfing or drive on Crowdy Beach with a permit from the local fishing shop. Come back and have a shower in the garden before heading back inside.

Perhaps you are looking for a quieter time; then imagine gazing at the vivid stars or watching the beautiful sunset over the Manning River while sipping a cocktail on the balcony of this home. See you soon for some Fun in the Sun @Harrington.

"The sunrise view from the master bedroom was absolutely breathta

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The sunrise view from the master bedroom was absolutely breathtaking, and watching the sunset over the river while enjoying a glass of wine in the bath was simply magical. I loved the walking trail that starts from the backyard — it was peaceful and scenic. I only regret not bringing my fishing rod! Within a 10-minute walk, there were restaurants, a liquor shop, an IGA, and a convenient playground for the kids. Several beautiful beaches were also just a short 10-minute drive away, which made our stay even more enjoyable.

The place was great overall, but the kitchen and bathroom could’ve been cleaner and It would’ve been perfect if it weren’t for the fishy smell in the fridge.

Great location

Great location with waterfront views. For the price we paid to stay, would've expected better quality bedding and pillows. Exhaust fan in main bathroom not working and water pressure issues in shower.

Beautiful and Peaceful

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I have already expressed issues we found perhaps minimal once we left the property.Upon arrival we noticed that toilets did not have the seal and in one bathroom small bin was not emptied. My husband spotted ants near sofa in the lounge and consequently moved the sofa n found lots of dusts and lollies meaning that was not vacuumed properly. The exhaust in the kitchen does not work. On average we were very happy with the property and our stay there and would do it again. Perhaps if the minor things could be looked at, this would make anyone more confident but overall VERY GOOD!

Extremely Disappointing - Misled, Overcharged, NOT pet friendly

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was meant to be a relaxing holiday after driving across the country from WA with our pet and toddler, but it turned out to be the complete opposite.Although the property is advertised as pet-friendly, this was not our experience. Within a day of arriving, we received handwritten complaints from the neighbours simply because our dog was outside. As a result, we had no choice but to keep him confined downstairs for the entire stay, which was incredibly frustrating and stressful.After our departure, things escalated. We were hit with a long list of additional charges — many of which were completely unjustified. We were charged for “pet urine” on a towel and for leaving it on the floor, when in fact it had absorbed water from a plant we had accidentally overwatered while trying to be helpful. We were also charged for deep carpet cleaning upstairs due to “pet stains”, even though our pet NEVER went upstairs — we had a barrier installed, and a handyman who attended the property during our stay could confirm this.Most concerning were the charges for basic cleaning tasks. We were billed extra for the cleaner to vacuum, mop, and wash bed sheets after our stay — standard responsibilities that should be included in any turnover between guests. Ironically, the property was not properly cleaned when we arrived, with rubbish and food found under beds and couches both upstairs and downstairs.We were also charged for damages that were already present on arrival. After strongly arguing the case, fighting the charges and catching them out on multiple inconsistencies, the owners eventually admitted — weeks later — that the damages were indeed pre-existing and removed the charges.Every charge matched the “potential pet fees” listed in their policy, word for word. We’ve since heard this isn’t the first time it’s happened to gu

Hi Tayla, We disagree with what you have stated in your review, you signed a document agreeing to our terms, conditions & house rules & then did not follow them. We have documentation to show that the property was not left in a reasonable condition.

An email was sent to the company handling the reservation telling my feelings completely. I booked a 4 bedroom home not knowing or imagining that the 4th bedroom was in the basement attached to the garage with no windows. I was so disappointed/upset that one of our couples had to sleep there, knowing there was an upstairs bedroom that was being used as a lounge room. This configuration may work for the owners but it certainly isn’t suitable to be rented it was very upsetting and embarrassing for me as I had booked the accommodation. Not only did they have to sleep there, they had to come up 14 stairs just to use the downstairs toilet and to have a shower then had to go up another 17 stairs. We were all over 80, we knew the bedrooms were upstairs and that did not pose a problem but never in my wildest dreams would I have thought one couple would have to go to the basement. The gardens outside are overgrown front and back and the grass had not been mown. The outside walls and windows need cleaning, you may say the birds will make a mess but the mess that was there wasn’t new it had been there for some time. The inside really needs a spring clean downstairs, the plants need attention and there were cockroaches so maybe it is time for spraying. I am not able to send a photo of the evacuation diagram displayed at the front door, which states upstairs 4th bedroom/lounge room and the bedroom in the basement is displayed as a Utility room.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear that the bedroom configuration came as a surprise and caused discomfort during your stay. We understand how disappointing this would have been, particularly when booking for a group, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We will review how this layout is presented in the listing to ensure it is clearer for future guests. We also appreciate your comments regarding the gardens, exterior presentation, and general cleanliness. These have been noted and will be followed up with our maintenance and housekeeping teams to address. Thank you again for your feedback—it’s invaluable in helping us improve the experience for our guests. Thankyou, Mid Coast Team

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A beautiful and luxurious home offering instant holiday vibes as bags are unpacked. The house has everything required when on a break. The walking paths and river location are superb for leaving the world behind. The beach and boardwalk are close by, offering a range of activities.At the end of the day and after holiday activities, it was wonderful sipping bubbles on the balconies enjoying spectacular sunsets. Looking forward to our return and picking up where we left off.
