We had a wonderful time. The place meets all of the needs for a family and the dogs had a great time to. Wonderful location close to everything! We will definitely be back next time were in Harvey Bay.
Great location and a beautiful place to stay. Everything you need to stay comfortably. The hosts have thought about everything including little touches to make your stay the best it can be. The hosts are responsive to any questions you have throughout your stay also.
Vila Paus was perfect for a holiday break. Situated on the shores of Urangan, gave us the opportunity to enjoy many walks, have a swim and through a line in.Luke was very contactable and helpful.
Spacious and super clean. Had everything you could want or need with fantastic modern design throughout. Hosts were quick to respond to any enquiries/queries & easy walk to restaurants/cafes and direct access to the beach. Provided reliable information for local spots to eat which was handy.
Villa was beautiful, perfect spot straight across the road from the beach. Everything you need in the villa. 4 nights wasn’t long enough. Everything about this stay was easy and straightforward would recommend to anyone.
