Beach getaway nestled in the tea trees

A well appointed beach getaway nestled in the tea trees. Large living space with good speed WiFi, BlueTooth speaker, TV with Chromecast. Reasonably appointed kitchen. Complimentary coffee pods. Very quiet with excellent privacy.

Comfortable Cottage

The Cottage needs a bit of repair work - the front door was very hard to open, the toilet door was sticking and we felt the steps were quite unstable leading from the drive to the house. The TV had been updated and wouldn't work. Contact with the owner, cleaner and maintenance man had this corrected on Saturday evening. We enjoyed our stay but little things could have made it even better.

Nice spot but needs work

The house was peaceful and clean and we enjoyed the coffee machine, the deck and little touches like the lamps. Jen was a fantastic host and bent over backwards to make sure we had everything we needed. However we didn't feel like the price was justified for the state of the property, which is fairly basic and had some maintenance issues. For example the oven handle had fallen off and not been replaced; the bathroom towel rail was held up with string; there were no towels or spare blankets; there were only two bowls for the 4 of us to eat from and some condiments were provided but they were almost all either empty or out of date. There was no running water when we arrived and we had to scout around in the bushes to find a tap to switch it on, getting an electric shock in the process. Jen was so lovely and I'm sure these issues could be rectified but we felt like paid for a quality holiday house but experienced a friend's old shack.

Very relaxing

Position was great, very relaxing balcony. House and some items could do with more maintenance but otherwise okay. Would still recommend it though.

The perfect getaway to unwind

The home is quite spacious and cozy. Has everything you need for a holiday! Despite it not being as clean as observed in the pictures, we were happy with the condition of the house. The very close proximity to nearby beaches was the absolute highlight of our trip and was very enjoyable for my family and I. From the very beginning, the owner Jen, was very easygoing, friendly and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend the Magic Beach Cottage. Looking forward to visiting and staying here again!
