A perfect, relaxing getaway. We stayed for 3 weeks and loved every minute. The house was cozy and comfortable, and the kitchen was fully equipped, making it easy to cook and settle in. The location was good, sitting on top of the dune at the picnic table overlooking the beach was a highlight. The view was beautiful and very peaceful. There were plenty of books, DVDs CDs and games, perfect for a rainy day or a good family night. Thank you for such a lovely stay we had a wonderful, relaxing time and we'll definitely be back. Wooli is my happy place
Absolutely fabulous, lovely beach cottage in a quaint seaside village. You can spend hours sitting up on the dunes overlooking the ocean. We can’t wait to return
Beautiful home for our mini break with family. Will definitely be going back. Very cosy, well stocked with crockery and utensils. Great communication with caretaker and owner. Beds were comfortable.
We found the cottage very clean and central to all our needs while in Wooli. Our time at the cottage was very enjoyable and relaxing, the table on the sand dune looking out to the ocean was lovely.
The Purple Place is a lovely little beach house, nicely decorated and with everything you could possibly need (and more) for a fabulous holiday. Many hours were whiled away watching the ocean from the dune - whales, dolphins, surfers, boats, cool clouds. The kitchen is well equipped, there is a washing machine and dryer, books, board games, and jigsaws for rainy days, you name it. And as an extra bonus it's pet friendly with a fully fenced yard so our dog gets to have the time of her life as well! It is also close to the bowls club and cafe, and not too far from the pub and shop if you need to restock. We have stayed multiple times and will be back!
Had a few hiccups the first day but eventually got everything sorted. Fiona and Broc have done an awesome job with the funky 50's styling. Beds were comfortable, amazing bench space in the kitchen and just about everything you could ever need for a cook up.

The accommodation was fine, quiet, well positioned, clean, rustic and we enjoyed our stay. Luckily had read previous comments and brought toilet paper, tea towels, Chux towels for wiping down benches an bathroom.
Lovely retro bach. Brought back childhood memories of beach holidays in small town NZ. Spacious house, comfy beds , great aircon in kitchen and especially loved the picnic table above the beach for morning coffees and evening wines.
Great location, backing onto the beach on the other side of the dune and the estuary a short walk in the opposite direction. Plenty of room for parking/boats. It is only a 2 BR though - looks like the third was converted into an extended bathroom. Well stocked kitchen, and the aircon was a boon on those hot humid afternoons

Hi Daniel, thank you for your kind words, but to clarify, there is a third bedroom off the back porch area, it's not inside the house.
Many, many years ago the house used to be a bakery and apparently the ovens were in what is now bathroom, which is why there are such thick concrete walls in there.

We are a family of 5 who love to explore, which is how we found and fell in love with Wooli. Our adventures led us overseas and we currently live in Massachusetts. From March 2020 we spent 4 months living in Wooli, giving our little cottage a bit of tlc, doing some rearranging and loving life on the beach. We hope you love Wooli as much as we do! Broc and Fiona
