Stunning location with ocean views. Very comfortable and spacious facilities throughout the home. Beautiful decks for outdoor relaxing though it would be even better if there was some fencing to keep the littlest guests safely on the property.

Wonderful Family Stay

We had a wonderful stay at Arriba with the extended family. The property was amazing with ample living and dining space for a large group. There were games, toys and books for the little ones which was a nice touch. The location was fantastic right opposite the beach. Kitchen was well equipped with enough crockery and cutlery for everyone. Highly recommend.

Beachfront classic fibro cottage. Fully kitted out.

Everything you need right on the waterfront. Restaurants and cafes close by with the main town only another 5 minute walk away. Plenty of space. Very easy to deal with manager/agent; friendly and helpful.

Restful break!

This property has all the charm you’d expect from a beach house. Fantastic nautical details and incredible views of the ocean. We loved sleeping to the sound of waves crashing on the shore and enjoyed morning cups of tea and coffee on the front deck. Ample dining and bedding for two families. Our third stay at this property - and we will return again!

Family getaway

We had a wonderful 4 days at Arriba recently. The location is fantastic - our children enjoyed exploring the rock pools not far from the front of the property and the short stroll along the beach to Thirroul beach playground. Tracey was very responsive and the house itself was clean and spacious with impressive ocean views across the front living areas. We hope to be back in summer.

Fantastic Location and House

We spent a wonderful week at Arriba Beachfront Cottage. The position is amazing, directly opposite the beach. It is an easy walk to Austinmer rock pools via the beach as well. The house is very well equipped. The furnishings are very comfortable - we couldn’t have asked for more. Tracey the property manager is great to deal with. We would love to spend more time there.
