Pet friendly, clean and modern home with comfortable beds with quality linen and towels, and en-suite bathrooms. Great outdoor entertaining area. The house is by the beach and a short drive to the shops. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this home.

Just what we needed

I wish we could have stayed longer. A wonderful break so close to the beach. Clean, bright and airy home with everything you could possibly need at hand. Booking agents were great. Feels like we have been away for a week instead of a weekend. Highly recommended. Hope to be back again in the near future.

Xmas at Culburra

It was disappointing that the garden was overgrown and the lawn needed mowing. One of the bedroom doors had a damaged latch and couldn’t be closed. The vacuum cleaner was very ineffective and there was no broom. The gas ran out after a day, but, luckily, we worked out how to switch the bottles. We were advised we couldn’t check in before 4, although, this was revised to 3.30 on enquiry. This is later than we would have preferred.

Thank you for your feedback Low. We are sorry to hear of your disappointment and the issues you encountered. If these had been advised to us during your stay we would have sent out the appropriate team members to and would have had them rectified and fixed. We always strive to provide a 2pm check in for our guests, however in peak holiday season with so many back to back bookings it isnt always possible. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future.

Cottage is clean and tidy , well maintained. There is no privacy and excessive construction.

While the cottage is clean and tidy and well maintained, the information regarding the construction was far from accurate. Tradesman everywhere including pressure washing the roof of the adjacent property at 7.30am. Tradesman had to enter the yard twice, the noise was excessive. The is no privacy. Spoke to property manager who said they would investigate and resolve within 48 hours- that was over a week ago and follow up emails have not been answered. Website said construction was mostly midweek but started at 7am Monday morning and continued. Parking is on the street but we had to park two houses away initially due to others parked out front. Also lack of room in wardrobes, we couldn't unpack our suitcases. Otherwise this was a pleasant stay but the construction ruined it.

Hi Rachel, once again we would like to thank you for getting back in touch. We do always investigate guest feedback and I’m sorry you felt we hadn’t on this occasion. It may be worth checking your spam or junk mail settings as we had reached out to you following our initial communications to give you an update on what we’d done and offering you a $150 voucher as a gesture of goodwill. Please rest assured the construction has now finished next door to Sunshine Cottage and we’ve since updated the listing to reflect this as we promised we would. We do try to remain as transparent as possible about anything that might interrupt the quiet enjoyment of our guests holiday which is why we made sure our listing highlighted the next-door construction from the onset so anyone placing a booking like yourself over that period was given prior warning there would likely be some disruption. On the basis it seems you missed this information in our property description, our listings team are going to re-visit how we communicate information like this as it seems we need to find a better way of ensuring vital information like this is not overlooked by guests in future. We’d like to thank you for your invaluable feedback about the wardrobe space. Since reporting the issue I’m delighted to advise we’ve added a clothes rack with hangers (photo attached to your latest email) providing more room for guests to unpack their clothes and belongings. If you give us the opportunity, we would love to WOW you on your next stay with Holiday Rental Specialists and we would be more than happy to find you a property better suited to your needs as well as apply the voucher we offered. I would be grateful if you’d confirm receipt of my latest response to avoid any further confusion. Thank you for reaching out again and I look forward to hearing from you.
