Very comfortable home. Beds great, 9 Main bed needs to be replace getting a bit old & sarggie ) rest very comfortable , Kitchen was good, we had to buy a few things to make it work better, like bread knife, grater, ( which we left for next guest ) i also brought my knife sharper, thank goodness as knifes where blunt. Everthing was very easy. Great having a outside shower, i thing it either needs a bigger fridge or a second one for drinks as its quite small. Yes i would stay again. Great having shop next door. Beach in walking distance. Also to caraven park to meet with friends. Great house.

The Bunker was a lovely place to stay located next to convenience store & coffee shop.Room were set out well, there were just a few things - loung was just a bit low for the older members of our family to sit on, there was no coffee machine but heaps of pods & there was no hair or body wash in the dispenser.

Beautiful house We all enjoyed our stay. It was great having the shops in front for when we needed something. Couldn’t hear any noise from the shops you wouldn’t even know they were there. Easy walk to club and the beach or creek for a swimNo covered area out the back to sit which was disappointing as it was very hot on Saturday Bedroom windows are all drilled shut so couldn’t open them for air Walls to the rooms don’t go all the way to celling so you can hear everyone snoring The fans and wall ledges needed cleaning the rest of the house was very clean and tidy.

It’s right next door to the recently renovated shop which is super convenient - and it’s a short walk to the creek/beach. There’s not much backyard and no front yard as it’s attached to the aforementioned shop - so it would be ok for a family with little kids or like us with older kids who didn’t come with us! Whole house has been done up in the past year or so - so everything’s fresh and clean and new. We’re planning on staying in it again with no hesitation.

Great location in Hat Head

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Freshly renovated house so it’s clean and new with everything you’d want in a holiday house. It’s right next to the main shop in HH which has also been freshly renovated and has most everything you’d need.House hasn’t got a front yard and the back yard is paved and smallish, so it is more suited a family with little kids or a couple by themselves. We had an excellent few days away and will be staying here again.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 3 senior couples enjoyed a relaxing weekend away at this nicely appointed home. Lovely bedrooms, comfortable beds, spacious bathrooms & living area. Well presented kitchen & laundry with private outdoor area. Unfortunately we mostly had rain so couldn’t enjoy the fire pit or outdoor space. A couple of shops right next door was very convenient. Ample space to park out the front. Would highly recommend this property.

Perfect Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Bunker. Stove was fantastic , I wanted to take it home! We think the addition of a BBQ and an awning would enhance the property so the women weren’t stuck in the kitchen but at least the males cleaned up and loaded the dishwasher after our dinners. Prompt answer by text when trying to hook into the wifi and making sure everything was ok. Totally comfortable for 4 adults but could easily accommodate 8. Linen being provided was a bonus.

Works for us!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We’ve stayed here a couple of times and will keep coming back. The Bunker is right next to the general store, which is a cracking little shop with pretty much everything you’d need (excellent bottle shop in it!).The only issue is that the walls separating the rooms do not go up to the ceiling, meaning there’s not much privacy and anything in the house can be heard. If you’re just a couple staying there, no issues - if you’re a family it’s a good thing to know!! It works for us though and is a comfortable, clean place that only got renovated a few years ago.

Hat head stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property was great, it is nestled behind the shops which we were a little concerned about. But once we were there it was amazing, it was surprisingly very very quiet and the shopkeepers are easy to make friends with. The house was clean and easy to settle in to. Great app selection on the TV and we also used the BBQ quite easily. The only feedback or thing to make note of is that there is no side gate so if you have younger children that may be a consideration and we also had a few people get curious and walk down the side (not realising it was a property) so if you are looking for a private stay that might be a consideration. Also there was no strainer and we were cooking pasta so that was the only other thing, but very minor detail. Other than those 2 small things we loved it so much and definitely will be back again, we also have already sent the link to 4 other family members and friends.

Do NOT recommend. The property is filthy and not maintained. The house while renovated needs a deep clean. There is dust, spider webs and dead bugs everywhere. There is a musty and mouldy smell throughout. The soaps & lotions in the bathrooms are empty, as are the reed diffusers. Both showerheads are full of someone else’s hair which is absolutely disgusting. We couldn’t shower because we were repulsed. The backyard is a mess with broken pegs strewn around everywhere. The bbq is full of ants and the bbq cover was on the floor soaking wet. The umbrella outside barely stands vertical anymore. The washing line is broken. The coffee maker is nowhere to be seen. The couch is lumpy, uncomfortable and covered in stains. Bathrooms are dirty with hair and soap all over the walls. The list goes on and on and on. We expected the “luxury” description to be just that but we are feeling extremely disappointed and ripped off. Our calls, texts and emails about these issues to the after hours contact number have been unanswered.The lounge was lumpy and I’m pretty certain something was dead inside of it. Safe to say we will never return!!

THE BUNKER

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great stay at The Bunker, Hat Head! The location was perfect, we had an amazing time within walking distance to the beach, club and other guests staying in town. The facilities provided at The Bunker were great but the overall cleanliness let the stay down. There was mould on the doors, dust right through the trims of the house and there seemed to be dog hair, i am assuming from a previous guest, and there was dog hair around the lounge room and underneath the lounge. Having said this, we had a great stay and would go back again but would speak with the Agent regarding the previous issues.
