Great location, so peaceful.

Had an amazing stay at this house, perfect for families, and furbabies. Beach, swimming, fishing and playground right there. We caught the ferry from Myola (only 7 min drive) over to Huskisson to have lunch at the Huskisson Hotel, perfect day! For the pups, the beach is 'on leash' only.

Perfect family getaway

We stayed at this amazing property last week. It was every bit as beautiful as the pictures shown. It was very clean, plenty of room for everyone and such a relaxing vibe. It met everyone's needs even our 2 fur babies. The host Ingela was also awesome to deal with. The only complaint I have is that we didn't stay long enough. We will definitely be staying here again.

Lovely spot

We had a very relaxing and peaceful stay. We stayed with 4 adults and 2 early school age children. Great space for our group. Location is excellent allowed us to enjoy the playground, watch the boats and fisherman, walk the jetty and see all the sea life - dolphins, stingrays, pelicans - Callala beach is an easy drive. We will certainly be back to this part of Jarvis bay!

Absolute Bliss on the Bay

We needed a property that met the needs of our family, toddlers, parents and grandparents, while we were visiting the south coast to attend a family wedding. ❤ Bliss on the Bay was absolutely perfect, this lovely home ticked all our boxes. We loved the ambience of the house, the beautiful location and the attention to detail provided by our host. Thank you Ingela. ☺

Christmas Getaway

Great feel to the property and a wow factor view when you walk through to open plan living/dining/deck area. Plenty out seating options for dinner inside and eating/drinking/relaxing outside. We were a group of 8 adults for Christmas Week stay, so, defo did need the 4 rskies we bought 😄. BBQ great, grass great, water view great... Weather-bad..haha, but owners could not help there. Communication with Ingela always promot and helpful. Eveeyone loved the space..only othwr thing of note, the x2 single beds comfy for children, but the adults who slept in them, found them a little small .. (but bed comfort is so subjective to personal taste) Would definitely recommend this property

About the host

Hosted by Ingela Rees

Host profile image
We have always loved the south coast, it's so untouched and beautiful, and couldn't believe our luck when we got the opportunity to buy our dream house! A 2 1/2 hours drive from Sydney makes it easy to get to, however we don't have the luxury of going down every week so we are more than happy to share our slice of paradise with other like minded guests.
