A beautiful house right across the road from the beach and walking path on a secluded street. Plenty of room for all the family plus hosting extended family. Hosts respond promptly on any questions or concerns. You can't beat the location.

This is lovely quintessential “beach house” with all the vibe and glorious views. We love staying here, it’s so comfortable and roomy. The hosts provide all the little things from loo paper and laundry liquid to coffee pods and paper towel, so all you need to do is unpack and settle in. The front deck is the focus for our activities, but there are plenty of sitting/relaxing spaces and a table for the jigsaw puzzle too! Although it’s a “retro” house there are all the modern conveniences -big smart TV, great WiFi and AC in summer. Just a great spot!

Good size for all 10 of the family. Quite location and within walking distance of beaches and cafes. Kids enjoyed the beach and exploring the the rock pools they even rescued 4 small sharks from one of the pools and released then back into the ocean.

Thank you for a wonderful family holiday! Stunning views and hearing the surf 24 hours a day from the multiple balconies and bedrooms was pure magic. The beds were super comfortable. Loved all the interesting nik marks throughout the home and the indoor plants! The kid’s balcony was a hit with all the toys to play with. Can’t wait to come back again!!

The property is lovely and in a fabulous location. It has a great "vibe" and was really comfortable for a week long stay with family! Beds super comfy and in general, everything you could want generally. Minor criticisms only. Lovely big fridge, but kitchen could do with a few more pots and pans and perhaps a toastie maker. The WiFi was very SLOW. Pet friendly but unfortunately the yard is not dog proof (which we found out the hard way), however we used the bins creatively to then close off the front yard and porch to keep the pooch sequestered. We plan to come stay again.

Retro delight

We absolutely loved our stay at the awesome retro beach house. Great variety of spaces to hang out together or retreat for quality solo time with a view. The beds were super comfy, the pillows and linen also divine. It was like sleeping on a cloud. Loved the retro furniture. Well appointed kitchen, the bar fridge was very handy, and the fire place! What a joy! We were there during a bit of a cold snap, and to end each day gathered around the fire was just perfect. Great location. Can’t say enough good things about the house. A shower downstairs would have been handy (there were 6 of us). Will certainly be coming back and also recommending to our architecture and design friends! Thank you.
