Comfortable studio for two + pooch.

The Studio is set up very well, clean, comfortable with all you need. Great area for walks along the river, lovely Botanical Gardens near by. Short car ride to the beach. Close to the Heads Hotel. Short car trip or a good walk to Bowlo & Golf club. Host Frances is great to deal with. We enjoyed our stay, would recommend.

Great Pet Friendly Unit

Unit was clean, comfortable, well stocked.Bed and shower good. Had everything we needed as well as our dog. Pet bowls ,bed, blanket, toilet bags supplied if required. Easy walk to great swimming for dogs down at the river and hotel.Short drive or longer walk to the beach. Located at the rear of another property with small courtyard, surrounded by other properties. Easy self check in. Great communication from host Frances who also left some adult treats which was a nice touch. Would recommend for a great pet friendly getaway.
