We stayed there with family and friends for my daughter’s destination wedding. Perfect for multiple families. Lots of bathrooms, toilets for a group of 11. Very well located with the beach at your door step, downstairs bedrooms and bathrooms a bit run down. Lots of facilities including pool table and hot spa.

Disappointing Stay Due to Cleanliness and Maintenance Issues

We recently stayed at Kendalls Beach House and, while the location was ideal and close to the beach, our experience at the property was disappointing. Upon arrival, we found the property far from clean: debris under rugs, cobwebs, and dirt in every window well were just a few of the issues. There was also an unpleasant smell from the upstairs laundry room that made it unusable. The house is more dated than the photos suggest, and many areas need maintenance. Both the back sliding door and the ensuite door were difficult to operate, and the bath plug didn’t seal properly. The showers, especially in the downstairs bathrooms, leaked heavily, requiring many towels to clean up the water after every use. Additionally, hot water was inadequate—even with fewer guests than the house's capacity. Only some of us could get lukewarm showers, while others were left with cold water, which was frustrating, especially with young children. We were also put off by the number of warning signs and instructions posted throughout the property, which created an unwelcoming atmosphere. Overall, while the house’s location is fantastic, the lack of cleanliness, maintenance issues, and hot water shortages made our stay less enjoyable than we had hoped.

Unbeatable location!!

This is a great property for a large family or two families to get away. We had an amazing stay, so fabulous being so close to the beach with our young children, it made everything so easy. We parked the car when we arrived and didn’t touch it again til we were leaving!

The location of the house is it best selling point. With having small children the park & beach are located so close and very easy walking. We loved having the spa & a pool table to entertain the older people in the group. I would return to this great family holiday home.

Disappointing

This property is large and in a good beach side location, but is poorly cleaned and maintained. We paid over $1000 per night and arrived to find a dead bird in the dining room, balls of dust across the kitchen cupboards, and dead spiders and cockroaches. There is no air conditioning and no ceiling fans; and no locks on the screen doors - meaning it is not secure for your belongings or for young children - even our 1 year old was able to open the doors and the back gate latch (and would have been able to head straight out to the road had we not been keeping constant watch). For the price charged it was very disappointing.

great location and amenities

We stayed in the Kendalls Beach house and where very happy. It has sunny, good sized bedrooms and living spaces with big screen tvs and strong wifi. The outdoor areas have Bbqs and spa. It is just metres from the beach and a short stroll along the headland to the light house and shops. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and recomend it without reservation.

Fun, spacious and great location

Stayed for a weekend as a group of nine. House was perfect for our group. Beds were comfy and big enough to share. Two full kitchen so plenty if fridge space and one had ice dispenser so perfect! Spa and pool table along with big screen tv and foxtel made for fun times relaxing together. Right on the beach, beautiful views and fun people watching from the verandah. 2.7km to big blow hole and about the same to little blow hole... Loads of fun. Only improvement would be curtains over venetians in bedrooms and the offer of 3 night weekends.

Not what i expected.

Very dated property.No air conditioning.no internet facilities,windows very hard to open and close,towel rails and door handles falling off.The list could go on. I suggest if you are going to charge over $1000.00 a night you should at least make it comparable to a luxury home.
