This studio is comfortable, cozy and has all the necessities to help you relax and reset. The best part of our stay however was the location. The scenery, walks and beaches all so close to Pretty Beach were absolutely gorgeous.

Pretty Beach stay

The accomodation was perfect for my requirements, visiting from abroad to see family in the area. The owner was incredibly helpful, I needed better internet for work, very accommodating. It’s a bushy area and as such I had a number of creepy crawly visitors.

Very cosy and comfortable but horrible booking process

The property was great, we loved it, but the booking process was a mess. We booked and paid deposit through Stays (1). Then we were passed on to Central Coast Holidays (2) to pay the balance, then to the local Ray White agent (3). Were then told we had to pay more. That was eventually resolved in our favour but confirmation emails were consistently incorrect. Then had to give bank details to receive the bond. Then we were asked by Vrbo (4) to review but had no idea who they were. Sheesh!

Thankyou for your review Bob. Yes it may seem a little confusing. Ray White Killcare manages many holiday houses in Killcare and advertise through various platforms such as VRBO/STAYZ, Central Coast Holiday Escapes and Airbnb so can understand your confusion. We hope you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Kind regards, The Team at Ray White Killcare

A peaceful well thought out conversion

Idyllic setting close to the beach.Comfortable with all the amenities one requires In heavy rain the wooden sleepers entrance is a potential death trap to older guests.As one should expect in a bucolic setting there are plenty things that crawl or buzz in the air.Thats why sprays are provided!!

Quiet and Charming

This studio is only for a couple as it is small with quality furnishings and well equipt kitchenette. The only real issue is the space between and end of the bed and the door to the bathroom only about 30 cm and have to walk sideways. The room could be reconfigured to avoid this. The studio is at the back and not clearly identified from the front, same street number as the house. Parking as per the agents direction wasn't available. Not completely private, front door/patio looks into the owners lounge, needs a screen .

Cute and comfy

This is a cute little granny flat at the side of a house. Marion, the owner, is very friendly. We were regularly visited by her cat, Billy, who is quite a character. We had a lovely time. The flat is in a good location. We enjoyed kayaking across the water and visiting the local eateries. The food was delicious. The flat has a TV with Netflix, and cooking equipment. It could possibly do with a small fold out table to eat on or play games. We brought our own so it was fine. The decor is lovely. As the weather has been bad, we noticed there were quite a few spiders so a good spray could be in order. Otherwise, it was great. Thank you.

Clean, tidy and comfortable with a cute front porch and rear deck. Just the right size for two with adequate amenities and a comfy bed and lounge.
