The only problem we found was the mat in the kitchen, as we are all in our 70s, it was a real trip hazard. So we rolled it up,apart from that our whole experience was excellent. Regards Susanne.
I recently stayed at the property with my family, my sister's family & my mum for her birthday. The staff were amazing very helpful. The house was so clean and had great amenities. The view over the water was a treat. The size allowed us private space but also room to come together as one group.
It was a very special time away for us in a beautiful place. It is not a modest cost but worth it for a special occasion

Reviewer Comments:
Overall - a great place to stay for a large family or group. The views are great - especially upstairs. Location is good - a short walk to the pub, restaurants and beach. The walk back up the hill is not too bad.There are small issues that are annoying. The stairs to upstairs creak - so to move downstairs late at night likely wakes the people sleeping on the main level (probably 2 of the 3 bedrooms). The plates are chipped. The doggy door to the backyard was taped up so it was broken. The cookware is non stick but most of the cooking utensils are metal. The BBQ gas was empty. There was a full one there but we assumed the one connected would have had some gas in it. We assumed we didn't know how to light it properly. The front door will not open from outside without a key staying in it. So if you are home you leave the key in it (outside) so guests can go in and out as they please. In saying that, we would stay there again.

Soul Bliss is a beautiful home that easily catered for 3 couples. It is beautifully decorated and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The kitchen is easy to use with all the crockery you need. Between the verandahs and backyard there was always a lovely sunny spot to enjoy. The avocado tree at the back was dropping fruit which was a delicious bonus! It is an easy walk into Shoal Bay and its cafes and ball the nature walks on offer. If you arent fit you may not like the hill on the way home but it really isnt too bad. We loved it and would stay again. The staff were lovely to deal with

The house was exactly as portrayed in the pictures, light, airy, roomy and cozy. It is a short stroll to Shoal bay beach wiht resturants, say 5 minutes at the most, and 10 minutes walk to Wreck beach (the track has been smashed by the rain, so a bit difficult to acces, but worht it for the sunrise view). We stayed with our family of five and inlawes, so 7 in total and we were very comfrotable. It was nice to sit on the top balcony and have a sunset drink watching the ocean. We will be back!

This is great house for a large family vacation. Very stylishly decorated, lots of comfortable places to spend time, good size bedrooms, modern bathrooms and large kitchen. Best place was the upstairs balcony with great district and Shoal Bay water views. Very well equipped so no need to pack extra things that I normally pack when holiday renting. Short 5 min walk down the hill to Shoal Bay. Definitely recommend and will book again.
