We have stayed her before with our 3 fur babies. And we loved it. Dog's Loved the beach and its so close. Walk to shops in Hawks nest, dogs just love being out.
Lovely location, property was immaculate. The pool was amazing. Will definitely return. The host was friendly and welcoming and went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful.
Quiet location yet central to everything. Very comfortable accommodation - including choices of outdoor areas to relax and of course the pool was great! Felt like home away from home with the host thoughtfully providing all you could need.
An excellent stay. Quiet and clean, everything you would need to make your time in Hawksnest perfect. Great yard for the dogs. Jen (host) is a fabulous communicator and leaves nothing to chance. We will be back.
What a lovely, spacious place for a group or family to enjoy the beach the river and nature. The house was very well stocked and decorated, in a quiet street in a friendly town.
Close to everything, with a secure yard.
Will definitely stay longer next time.
Its was a very relaxing and enjoyable place to stay. Dogs (3). Settled in quiet nicely. And enjoy the walks and the beach. Will be booking this place in the future.
Good house for a family holiday. Clean and with all required facilities. Not too far from the beach and the pool is great. The beach looks a bit dangerous for swimming but there's a patrolled section. Lovely long beach for long walks.
We stayed for the weekend to celebrate a birthday. Lovely property, spacious and homely. Pool was very clean and safely fenced, great garden for our dog, fully fenced. The kitchen was excellent and we cooked meals very easily and had all the utensils we needed. We loved it
Comfortable, well equipped, pet friendly home with a fabulous pool, located minted from the beach.
My two young adult children, our dog and I enjoyed our brief stay in Hawks Nest very much. The house is very well equipped, lovely modern kitchen with all the equipment you could need, beautifully decorated living area which features a large smart TV with streaming services available, and the beds are exceptionally comfortable. The highlight is definitely the lovely In ground pool and the 2 huge verandahs.- it feels like a beachside resort here. There are also many great bush walking tracks surrounding the house & you are only 3 minutes drive or 15 minutes walk from Bennetts Beach. We would have loved to stay longer and would be keen to visit again.
Jen was wonderful to communicate with.
Pool was beautiful clean and much enjoyed by the kids. Bush setting is lovely. A very comfortable house with everything you need.
Recommend getting the linen which included beach towels too!
This was a great property to stay at. We had no issues at all. It was also very clean, inside and out (including pool).
Jen was very responsive with any communication and even told us about markets happening in town that we wouldn't have otherwise known about.
When we come back to the area we will be staying here again if available.
The property is clean and the pool is nice. Jen ( the owner) she is very helpful and kind person with great help and good communication. The house got what you needs. Would be happy to go back again.
Jen is an excellent host at communication. Our stay went smoothly with super easy check in and check out. Pool is lovely for the summer. Our dog loved the big back yard, super pet-friendly home.
Just a few things including bit of dust in corners and frames, and lots of summer flies so keep your doors closed, but all very minor compared to everything else kept to great standards.
Again, thanks for an amazing stay!
Jen was an amazing host who made sure we had everything we needed for our holiday ! The house exceeded expectations, was clean, modern, excellent location.The pool was a HUGE plus for the kids ! The backyard looked out over a beautiful forest with Frangipani trees flowering which was beautiful ! Thank you so much Jen 😘we had such a lovely holiday and we will be back next year ! Highly Recommended !

Was expecting a bit better
Listed as having air conditioning but it was only in the main living area… bedrooms had old very noisy fans and given it was very hot hard to sleep with the noise . Kitchen was dirty, oven not clean, fridge not clean and pantry had cockroache poo.. put me off entirely
Lovely Pet-Friendly Home, Great Pool and Bush Outlook
We had a great stay here! The house is nicely furnished and kitchen comes well equipped and has all the basics (pepper, salt, olive oil, dishwashing, glad wrap, tea, coffee pods etc etc). Comfortable beds and newsly renovated bathrooms. Living room has air conditioning; all bedrooms have fans. The house has verandahs on both sides, one has a great bush outlook (really doesnt't feel like you're in town!) and the other one faces the (very quiet) street. The pool is great and clean - our kids absolutely loved it! The whole house is very well fenced for dogs. short drive or 20min walk to beach and shops. Owner is very helpful and responsive. Overall we had an amazing week!! Thanks again :)
We stayed here over Easter - I choose this house because it had good space both indoor and outdoor in case of rain.
Luckily there was no rain this year - we loved the swimming pool which was incredibly clean.
There are three outdoor areas so we had great locations for breakfast and dinner.
The house itself was perfect - very clean and with everything you need - we had friends over for lunch and the long table and air conditioning in the living room was fab.
The bedrooms were relaxing, having an en-suite to the main was lively. Everything was very clean which isn’t always the case with homes that allow animals.
The sparkling beaches (head to Bennett’s Beach, near the Golf Club if you have a dog) are around 15 min walk away as is the IGA, but parking at both was very easy also. All round a lovely spot! Highly recommended.
