Coastrek fundraising walk weekend

This is our 5th year of doing Coastrek in Sorrento and this is the perfect place for our group to relax afterwards - especially the hot spa has been great for our tired legs! The house was very clean and the kitchen had all utensils and amenities available for our stay.

Nice house and pool but…

We had a nice stay but there was a lot of noise at night including what sounded like fights out on the street. We had 165 deducted with no communication after the stay and are unable to communicate with owners. Would not stay again.

Hi Michael - I'm pleased you had a nice stay and enjoyed the house and pool. That's unfortunate that there was noise in the street as we have certainly not had this problem before. As per my message through Stayz, we had to deduct $165 from your bond to professionally clean the vomit off the bedroom carpet. It's unfortunate that you had not let us know that this had occurred.

Great Weekend at Magnolia Cottage

Magnolia cottage is an exceptional place for women's weekends and groups in general, as well as families. Only 2 of our group of 9 had to share a room and this is a rare find. The house is spacious, and lovely with two large living areas and an attractive long Deck, but what our group loved was the spa and pool. Fabulous. The house was really well equipped with everything you could need and in a great location. Couldn't really ask for more. We will be back.

Wonderful house for a big group

We were a group of 8 women walking 45km for the Coastrek challenge to raise money for Beyond Blue. This house was perfect - lots of bedrooms, spacious living areas, well appointed kitchen and a hot tub for the after walk relaxation. It was warm and cozy on arrival and very clean. We are hoping to return for next years event!

Big and homey

Overall great place to stay, highly recommend. However was told we couldn't do early check-in due to high demand due to post Covid19 easing of restrictions. Upon arrival deck chairs and tables had cob webs. I believe we were the first people to stay in the house so not sure why we couldn't do early check-in. Also very dusty behind the windows and a number of people of our group become very sensitive to the carpet downstairs. Would suggest a deep clean. but overall its got everything you need. Well equiped.

Perfect Large House for Family/Friends Group

We loved this property. It was perfect for our family getaway with a few families with kids. Large living areas, beautiful, large pool and small, trampoline, and plenty of toys for the kids.
