We have stayed at Adrift several times (I have lost count) and it's always a great stay. Our dog loves the backyard and the nearby leash free beach and we really appreciate the well-stocked kitchen and the lovely reading nook in the master bedroom. We always find everything we need, including fly spray, sun screen and other toiletries. Annie is always very helpful and responsive if we have questions or concerns. Thanks again!

The house is clean inside however outside needs tiding up - lots of cobwebs everywhere. The pictures on the website doesn't show the 3rd bedroom has only a curtain - no door on it. Great location and easy walk to dog beach - great for pets

Beach and Nature at Adrift at Ventnor.

Adrift had all our requirements for our stay plus added bonus of local rabbit visiting the back yard and possums at night. Our little Jackie Gracie loved it and the daily runs on the "off the leash" beach.

Easy walk to the beach

Adrift was a lovely place to spend a wintery weekend with kids and the dog. Comfy beds and clean sheets. Hosts were also lovely. Don’t have anything to complain about, would consider booking again.

Quiet and well-equipped house.

Rustic but very neat and extremely well-equipped. Fabulous yard for our dogs and very close to off-lead dog beach. Area was quiet and peaceful. The owner was very responsive to questions. All together, I would highly recommend this place.

Good location

Location was fine and good I could take my dogs. House needs a thorough clean and yard needs a lot of attention- couldn’t let dogs roam because too many places for snakes this time of year.

A great place to unwind

A very pleasant stay in an original beach house with added mod cons like a dishwasher and aircon. We enjoyed the lovely tranquil setting for the humans and the fur babies to unwind and relax. Just how a beach holiday should be without too much fuss or hard work - having linen supplied made things so easy! Really enjoyed strolls along the dog beach and partaking in yummy local fare at a couple of nice eateries a short drive away.
