Modernised, tastefully appointed and conveniently located. Comfortable for all seasons. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and so did our pooch. A pleasant holiday destination.
We stayed here for 3 nights in late January. It was a very hot weekend but the air conditioning inside and lovely deck outside made it feel fine. The house was very clean and everything you need is provided. The mattresses and linen were comfortable and new. The garden was great for dogs. It is unusual to find such a great stay! Highly recommended!
We stayed at the property for a weekend in the off peak season. Other than beachfront- you could not get a better located property. Short walk to anything and everything Evans Head has to offer. Thankyou again!!!
Great little house so close to all you need easy walking to shops and parks lots of nice walking paths ,which was great for our little dog ,short 5 minute drive to dog off leash beach ,so thankful we could take our fur baby he loved it ,nice little extras in house & bathroom Thankyou ,will be back
Well positioned. A walk to main street shops, bowls club and surf club. The only thing, pets allowed property, shows a dog inside the house in the photos, but were told after paying final payment, no dogs allowed inside. Maybe make that clear at point of booking.

Hi Odette, thank you for your review. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us at Wattleseed. We're sorry to hear that you were lead to believe pets needed to stay outdoors during your stay. Pets are very welcome inside the home, we just request that they stay off the furniture while indoors. We apologise if you received information to the contrary. All the best, Anna & the Drift + Stay team
Lovely house. Well presented and a nice range of products for us to use. Great location. We did have awful weather tho could have used a dryer for the towels.
Great Location, Trendy and Airy, Perfect for our stay in Evans Head
Thank you once again for allowing us to stay in your cosy little piece of paradise. We had everything we needed in the best location. All the needs catered for. Robes and Disney+/Netflix were such great additions, as well as the delicious welcome pack (yum yum).
We appreciated the great communication ensuring we had all needs met. We would completely recommend a stay at this beautiful home.
We found this house to be really comfortable and very relaxing as soon as we walked through the door. It is such a short walk to everything as well, you could have a week without needing the car. For those wondering about the higher rate; the house was very chill, well appointed with all you need, less stress not having to take the car anywhere and the opportunity to have our dog with us made it well worth it!
We loved the house. It's nice and light and airy and has everything you need with really decent appliances and kitchenware. Location was great too; we could walk to the main street, the IGA, and to the river carrying our big stand up paddle boards. The river was great for our young kids who aren't very confident in the ocean. The yard was perfect for our dog (it's a Colorbond fence so he couldn't get excited by passing dogs and we felt comfortable leaving him) and the dog beach was a short 5 minute drive. We ate well too; the seafood at the marina was excellent. Overall, we had a wonderful week and our hosts were lovely with some very thoughtful touches. Thank you!

Thank you for your review!
Our property includes bed linen, bath towels and beach towels. Has air conditioning, complimentary wifi & Netflix and is also pet friendly! So yes, it may be more expensive than other properties that do not provide these services.
It is also in a fantastic location which is why I suspect you had the rest of your family over at our property for a party which is a clear breach of the rules. You left the house messy and with damaged items which is the real reason you had a problem with management.
