Our family of 4 enjoyed our stay. Perfect location for an easy stroll to the beach and short drive to explore surrounding attractions. Comfortable and cosy accomodation providing all we needed for our stay. We particularly enjoyed relaxing on the back deck surrounded by the beautifully landscaped garden. Communication was excellent. Many thanks to our host!

Nice stay, close to beach can hear the surf rolling in.

Annette is a fabulous host, and highly communicative. The house is a perfect, basic beach house for a family. Lots of games and the back garden is lovely. Definitely be back!

Thanks Michelle glad you enjoyed our simple but very much loved beach house. Welcome back anytime!!
Lovely beach house with a retro feel. Great coffee machine and comfortable bed. A 3 minute walk to the beach with a lovely deck at the rear of the house to relax at the end of the day. Excellent selection of games and good selection of movies. A great place to stay.
Great location close to beach. Accomidated 6 of us easily. Beautiful touches such as board games, books and some pantry items we could use (salt, pepper, vegemite). Beds were super comfy. We enjoyed having a bbq outside under the verandah.
Overall the place was perfect for us. Highly recommended for a family holiday
Hi,No problem overall, only I think linen should be included for short visits, I was travelling from Qld and its annoying to carry the linen.Besides that, everything grate.

Great guests, glad Miguel and friends enjoyed their stay. Appreciate its a hassle to bring your own bedding. As a short stay stayz accommodation not an Air B&B not a service we provide to keep costs down. Hopefully all the other offerings at our holiday made up for this inconvenience.
What a perfect little spot for a getaway. Full of character and perfect location to wander down the street for a surf or a walk along the beach. Full of games to keep the kids busy. Comfy beds. Great yard. Can’t fault it, didn’t want to leave!
A cosy little gem with an aesthetic that felt like a home away from home.
A pure delight going to sleep with the roar of the ocean near by only to be topped by 20+ yellow cockatoos circling above us while eating dinner on the rear deck.....magnificent!
We loved this place!
We will be back!

Thanks Janette, glad you enjoyed your stay at our much loved house. It's our oasis by the ocean. Annette
Great weekend away, house would not be ok not for small children if u use the wood heater as no safety screen, toaster also on a lower shelf that kids can reach. House seems musty especially the bedrooms, very dusty and lots of cobwebs,cso not great if ur asthmatic or scared of spiders. Bathroom is great as is the outdoor shower. Close to the beach.
Owner request us clean the house in the same condition as on arrival
First of all, the owmer required us to bring our own beddings and we did. Secondly, we waited more than one hour on the 40 degree before we check in due to you provided wrong passcode. Thirdly, we cleaned the house before we left. Vaccume is not supposed to be done by us because there is no clear instruction that told us the vaccume machine store spot. A formal complain will be applied if you charge us $60. We won't stand this unreasonable extra charge.

Unfortunate wrong passcode provided, but as soon as informed by phone, resolved. Terms and conditions for stay were clearly stated in initial communications including a basic clean on departure - obviously a misunderstanding by the guest. Given the effort required after departure to clean the house, a nominal cleaning fee was charged.
Lovely welcoming beach house. Warm and inviting interior with a nod to the 70’s. Decks with seating at the front or back to choose from depending on the weather. Modern kitchen & bathroom/laundry. Short walk to the beach or cafe/restaurant/supermarket.Annette was super quick to respond to any enquiries we had. Would definitely stay again.
