Beautiful, spacious old home with so much character. The house was spotless, very well looked after, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We had a wonderful time even with the rainy weather, as the home was warm and relaxing to be in. The hosts provided amazing, clear instructions and communication for our stay. The locals were amazing and very welcoming. Would happily stay again.

Great place to stay for a relaxing few days

The property is very charismatic with plenty of space and well equipped kitchen, ideally located in the small village. Beach is a short drive away if you have fishing gear or a 10min walk. Would defiantly recommend if you are looking for a peaceful few days of relaxing.

Beautiful days at a beautiful Place

We had three lovely days in Herbertville. The house and its location were amazing. We enjoyed having the beach to ourselves and coming back to a roomy beautiful house in the evening. The kids loved the Dune and Fossils at the other end of the beach.

Perfect base for a relaxing, quiet beach holiday

Huge house with a fascinating history and vintage decor. Loved the 'secret' garden out the back. The picnic table up the top is a perfect place to enjoy meals or just hang out as it's sheltered from the prevailing wind and has great views. Really comfy bed and couches.

Herbertville getaway

The cottage was lovely with lots of space for the whole family. The house had everything we needed. We loved having a wood burner as the winter weather was on the colder side. We enjoyed meals at the pub which is in walking distance. We would love to return in the summer to explore Herbertville more.

Gracious old villa

Really enjoyed our stay. Heaps of space in a beautiful old villa... just my style. Absolutely loved the native plants on the walk up the back. Lovely area to have a wine in the evenings. We will be back.

Great communication from the host and very detailed and clear instructions. This house is amazing with so much history in it......literally. There is heaps of room and everything you need, plus a nice viewing spot at the back of the section via a small bush walk. We'll definitely be back again. The neighbor across the road makes great coffee and real fruut ice cream for sale.

Lovely character home perfect for a relaxing getaway

Had a lovely quiet family Christmas at this property. Great for those wanting to unwind and relax. Easy access to the beach. Property was well provisioned and heaps of DVDs and games supplied to appease the kids. Bonus of the coffee van across the road.

Wow, where to start! Beautiful location, beautiful home. The old villa has been renovated to maintain the original antique features and is also very homely and comfortable. A lot of work has gone into developing a beautiful garden retreat out the back with ocean views. Clean and tidy, friendly hosts and locals. Stunning beach. The photos don't do the home or land and seascapes justice. We'll be back. Thanks team!

It was like the good old days !

We really enjoy staying in your Historic House, that had everything we needed, Loved the old telephone that was quite novel along with many other items in the house that goes with the house Era. It was better than expected and the bed super comfortable! Loved the park you created behind the house too. It was good to get away from it all and many thanks..

Peace and solitude!

We arrived to a fantastic property in a cute seaside community. The road is a bit of a work in progress from Weber due to the Cyclone. A great property with plenty of room for a family. Enjoyed the garden and surrounding spaces. A coffee cart and real fruit ice cream across the road (Jax and Steve make great coffee). Walked to the cape for the seals and dotterills. Surfcasted off the beach which is a quick 5 minute drive. I would definitely stay again.
