This was an amazing place to stay for our getaway. Heaps of space, games, and a ping-pong table. We really enjoyed every aspect of it. The host and manager were awesome.

We had an absolutely fantastic time!We were very impressed with the well stocked kitchen utensils, as we love cooking. We were also blown away by the peaceful layout and atmosphere, not to mention the fun times with the Ping Pong table. Was just simply so reviving. Thank you for your amazing hospitality and hope to potentially stay again next Summer!

It's all about the small things

I love that they thought about the small things (that are actually super helpful)... international charging plug, portable fan, games galore for every age and even cooking oil.We absolutely loved our stay at this property.

Perfect place

This property is super clean, comfortable and in a great position. It was sun-soaked during the day and warm at night with an extremely efficient gas heater. The main living is a big social space connected to outdoor living. What a perfect holiday spot with everything you need. We are private people and appreciate not being disturbed during our stay.

Excellent, Relaxing, 3N Stay @‘Ocean Blue’

Excellent three night stay at “ocean blue“. Property was well appointed, super clean, had just about everything we needed. We really liked the design of the property, the abundance of windows and the fact that you can open up to the outside. it was wonderful. The property is within walking distance to the beach and just around the corner from the surf shack restaurant. I would highly recommend.

Outstanding property

Wish that all rentals worked like this one. Matt was super helpful and great communicator. Property was better than anticipated and location was excellent. A genuine 5 star plus listing. Wish that we’d booked for longer. Thanks Matt!

Relaxing beach break

We really enjoyed a few days away from hectic, stressful lives and we couldn't have picked a better place! The beach is close, a dairy even closer. There were books, table tennis and lovely outdoor spaces for chilling. The beds were comfortable and the house was perfectly presented. We'll be back.

Would happily stay again

Well appointed, modern and comfortable home in a quiet neighbourhood. We enjoyed our stay and would book again. An extra bonus for us was being able to have our dog with us.
