This was an amazing historic and luxurious house with plenty of space and fantastic outdoor relaxation spaces to enjoy. The location is also super convenient with endless choices of beaches and lake activities within easy reach. The host is a wonderful and very knowledgeable lady full of local knowledge and with great contacts. The house was very clean and equipped with all modern conveniences including great coffee. We loved our stay so much we will definitely be back again soon. Thanks so much Jo for all your hospitality.

We had such a fantastic stay! The house was absolutely beautiful, clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. We were lucky enough to have perfect weather the whole time, which made the trip even better. Our dog absolutely loved the huge backyard and having so much space to run around, and being just a short walk from the beach was a massive bonus. It was the perfect place to relax, and we can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful, dog-friendly getaway!

Fantastic that you were able to reset! No cleaning, no kids and just there to chill and catchup with friends. That’s what we love to do there too!

The house has everything we needed for our family stay. The yard and deck was a great size and the house was neatly maintained. Close to the beaches and Swansea. Jo was very hospitable and prompt to reply any questions. Would stay again.

Our day was amazing just what we needed, the perfect stress free long weekend. My 17-year-old daughter enjoyed many Zen moments on the deck and stargazing by the fire pit. Perfectly situated in the quiet part of Catherine Hill Bay close to the beach for long walks and swims in the lusciously clear waters. The house has plenty of room for everyone and our little old luxuriated in the huge backyard. Can’t wait to go back I think we’ll be regulars to this beautiful part of the world.Our host Jo provided great advice and recommendations. She made everything so easy. Couldn’t ask for more Bliss.

Beautifully appointed cottage

Callistemon was a fantastic find in the Catherine Hill Bay Area. The 3 bedroom cottage is thoughtfully furnished, with touches such as mirrors and luggage racks in the bedrooms, not to mention the beautifully ornate door frame to the bathroom! The living and dining areas are comfortable and well-equipped. The property itself is large and spacious, with plenty of room for any four-legged friends. The hosts were very helpful with any questions we had and they just made the whole process so simple from start to finish. Would highly recommend this property for anyone travelling to this beautiful area of the north coast!
