Lovely place

We stayed here while we were attending our friends wedding, the host was very accommodating allowing us to check in early so that we could get ready there before going to the wedding. The bottle of wine was also a very nice touch. The home is beautiful, very clean and had a very comfy bed.

Deluxe beach stay

My friends and I had a girl's weekend at Gathering Shores. We absolutely love the place- everything is considered and the attention to detail was greatly appreciated! Also love the acknowledgement of the First Nations history in the area, something that is not seen enough. We will definitely be back!

Photos don’t do this place justice!

Our stay was absolutely perfect! The space was spotless, beautifully designed, and thoughtfully stocked with every little detail you could possibly need. From the high-quality furnishings to the small touches that made us feel right at home, it’s clear that the hosts have put so much care into creating an exceptional experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a truly special place!

Immaculate home and one you want to steal all the interior ideas from. There was even a pillow menu! The kids loved the outdoor shower and the massive Smart TV! I loved the soft linen sheets and comfy beds. The close by eateries on the beach were excellent.

The property is absolutely beautiful, warm, and welcoming, with every detail thoughtfully designed with love. We were impressed by the charming decorations throughout the house. The beds and pillows were incredibly comfortable, and the pillow menu and flowers on the bed were delightful surprises—such a thoughtful touch! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and appreciated the excellent communication with the owner. It was a perfect experience from start to finish.

Gorgeous home with thoughtful details

We stayed for a weekend getaway and wedding. What a gorgeous home, just like the pictures in the listing, with so many thoughtful inclusions, you can really tell the owners love to host. There was a heatwave that weekend so we thoroughly enjoyed the beach just a few minutes drive away. Plenty of cafes, eateries and a gourmet filled iga in town. Short drive to wineries, distilleries and plenty to do.

We are so lucky to find Gathering Shore. It is such a lovely home full of characters. Love and care of the host are seen through the house from all the details. The house is super clean with comfortable beds and linens. General sized bedrooms with good sound blocking design. North/south facing makes this place cool in summer time, perfect for hot weathers. Open plan kitchen and living connected to an outdoor barbecue area where our babies love blowing bubbles there. We can see the moon hanging up bright directly from the bench. On a hot summer day sitting there watching our babies chasing bubbles is so joyful and relaxing. Super caring host with great communication. The only shame is that we were a bit rushed being young families with babies. Although our babies absolutely love this place, it would be enjoyable, quiet and private if the trip was for a coupe or two. Hope I’ll be able to return soon with more quiet time for myself so that I can go through all the notes, guides and books that characterise this place as unique. I highly recommend this place to all families and those adults wanting to enjoy their own quiet time.
