The house was lovely and had everything you could possibly need for a little getaway. It was quiet, but still close to restaurants, stores and of course the beach. It rained a bit while we were there so we enjoyed the large variety of board games. A wonderful property.

This is a beautiful property in a great location. It was exactly as per the photos, spotlessly clean and had lots of space. Being able to walk across the oval to the lake, cafes or to the beach was very convenient - we didn't use our car at all. We made use of the 2 person kayak and the beach toys and the kitchen was also well stocked. We had a fabulous long weekend here and will definitely stay again. Thank you Felicity

Booking process and payment was excellent. We were asked to contact a staff member 24 hours prior to arrange an arrival time. We rang her the day before and said we would be there between 3.00-4.00pm tomorrow as we were travelling from interstate, staff member told us she worked until 3.00pm and I said it would be later than that. She told us to message her when we left the M1 which we did at 3.04pm and we were about half an hour from accommodation, due to school holiday traffic (which was out of our control) we did not get to accommodation until 3.50pm. The staff member got out of her car and was extremely rude saying we said we’d be there at 3.00pm even though we had messaged her from the M1 as requested, she said we had wasted an hour of her day. She gave us keys and went to drive off, we asked her how to open locked gates and she pointed at a box on the wall. We made our own way through the complex to find our house, a very unpleasant start to our holiday. Once inside the house it was beautiful. We would highly recommend staying at this accommodation, it was very clean and comfortable. After the unpleasant start we enjoyed our stay there.

A quiet and restful week

The whole family loved their stay at Felicity’s property. The teens loved the freedom to explore the lagoon on kayak, and safely and easily wander to the beach and shops. We loved the peace of the lagoon but proximity to beach. The house has everything you would wish for to make the stay stress free. We hope to go back again as there is plenty more to explore in the area.

Home away from home!

A lovely townhouse that had everything needed to make us feel like we were at home! The location was great - a short walk to the cafes, restaurants, shops, lagoon and beach. The best feature was the view out the back to the lake - watching the pelicans swim by! Excellent hosts, great communication, immaculately presented home. Thank you for a wonderful family holiday!

Wonderful place for a restful break. Well located, with easy walking access to the beach, shops and cafes. If you want to just stay in - house overlooks a lake and also offers many board games. Spacious place, tastefully decorated, very well stocked kitchen and comfortable bedding. Great communication from Felicity and a wonderful check-in process. Highly recommend and would definitely book again. One suggestions, a hair dryer in both bathrooms will be helpful.

Quiet yet close to all shops and beach.

Very pleasant house. Only problem we had was getting very tricky window locks open and remembering to take gate keys with us when we went out as the group of houses is gated. A remote opener would have helped! Otherwise it had all the mod cons you could ask for.

Hi Petrina, Thank you for your review and I'm pleased that you enjoyed your stay. With regard to the provision of remote control access we found that guests did not always remember to leave these behind at the end of their stay. This caused a lot of inconvenience for the next guest arriving and replacement costs became too expensive. You are welcome to stay again any time. Best wishes, Felicity

Nice lakeside Apartment at Avoca Beach.

The apartment was spacious, clean and comfortable. The apartment was well equipped with everything you needed and more. Had issues with the lighting constantly flickering at times, something to do with the dimmer switches I suspect. Unfortunately the entrance to the lake had been dredged recently, and the water level was very low, and just turned into smelly mud flats at low tide.The apartment complex was quiet and secure. Only about 5 minutes drive or a 15-20 walk to the beach. There is a nice selection of cafes and restaurants in walking distance, Main shopping centres 10-15 drive.

Hi Trevor, Thank you for your feedback regarding the lighting. We replaced all the lights with LED ones about 6 months ago and had dimmers put in the living area as it became very bright. This is the first time that I've heard there was an issue so I will follow up with the electrician. The Avoca Lake, like over 100 others on the NSW coast, is an ICOLL (Intermittently Closing and Opening Lake or Lagoon). The Council opens it once or twice a year to control flooding and improve water quality. Unfortunately, like the weather, I have no control over this happening during a guest's stay. I'm pleased that you enjoyed the peacefulness and comforts of your stay. Best wishes, Felicity

The perfect home away from home

My family (2 adults and 2 young kids) stayed at Felicity's property for one month. We were visiting family in the area for Christmas and came all the way from Canada. Everything about the property and process was amazing. It's the perfect property for a family - spacious, clean, well-appointed and easy walk to the beach. The view out the dining room doors to the lagoon is beautiful. The check in process was easy and both Caroline (the property manager) and Felicity and her husband were reaponsive and kind. We felt so comfortable and at home here that after a month we truly felt sad leaving - as if we were leaving our own home! Avoca Beach has good amenities for a family, but Cole's is a quick drive away for larger grocery shops. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and would recommend Avoca Shores to anyone looking to stay on the Central Coast. We couldn't have asked for a better home for our visit. Thank you Felicity!
