Peace and Serenity

We loved our stay in this cozy, beautiful house. The area was just beautiful, perfect distance from shops and food but also secluded and peaceful to be by ourselves when we wanted to be. Will definitely keep this place in mind for future holidays!

We had a relaxing and enjoyable stay

The house had everything we needed to relax. We drove to Seal Rocks in the mornings to have a swim at the beach and would come back at lunchtime to hang out on the balcony and read for the rest of the day. Only problem was getting to the hammock first.

Perfect place to recharge and spend quality time together

The perfect place to recharge your batteries. The stars were stunning at night, the kids loved the garden adventures - picking fruit, spotting animal boxes, the swings, helping out in the fenced vege garden, plenty of room to kick a ball. The perfect property to come back to after a day of exploring the local area. The lighthouse at Seal Rocks was beautiful, the Tanks Forster also great fun!

Bush retreat stay

This accomodation is exactly as you see. Very comfortable and has everything you will need. Beautiful surroundings, the bird life is amazing. The only thing I would say is to prepare yourself for is the property grounds hold water so it’s a bit boggy in parts which brings mosquitoes. Close to beautiful beach’s.

Hi Melissa, I'm so pleased you enjoyed the property. Yes, there has been excessive rain over the past couple of months which has soaked the ground. We haven't had an issue with mozzies over summer but it seems they must have come with the recent rains. For outside we have mozzie coils, aerogard, mozzie-repelling trees and mozzie-munching wildlife which usually keeps them at bay. We also have screens on all the sliding windows and doors so hopefully it wasn't too much of an issue for you. Thanks for choosing Wandha! Gabrielle

Perfect Getaway

We had the pleasure of staying in this beautiful house for my partners 40th along with our dogs and some friends. The property was picturesque and very well maintained. We loved seeing the local wildlife that visited each day. Gabrielle was wonderful to communicate from the moment we booked till the very end. There is already talk of coming back again. Thanks again for a wonderful few day of bliss.

Just Fabulous!

My sister and I, along with our dogs, recently had the pleasure of staying at Warialda. Gabrielle was a communicative and accommodating host, and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The property was very clean, tidy and well equipped, and looks just as it does in the photographs. The property is peaceful, tranquil, well maintained and very private, we felt we were in a world of our own. The location of the property is perfect, just a short drive to amenities, and some really beautiful beaches. Overall, I would highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a peaceful and comfortable get away in a beautiful location.

Great escape from city life!

Great escape from the city, nestled in an area that is close to beaches and amenities but with the feeling like your hours from anywhere due to the picturesque landscape and seclusion that surrounds the property! A place that really does allow you to switch off and get back to nature! Gabrielle was an awesome host! Would definitely stay again, a note for dog owners to keep in mind is that there were quite a few dogs roaming off leash up and down the street that the property is on and on a few occasions over our stay we did have 2 different dogs come into the property directly - whilst they were friendly enough and it is hard to securely fence acres of bush land, it does make supervision of your dogs and kids significantly more important to ensure you can enjoy the beauty of the property. Importantly, Gabrielle was a fantastic in this situation and quickly responded to my concerns, advising the neighbours of the dog being inside the property ensuring our safety. Overall a great stay!

Our stay was really enjoyable. The weather stopped us from exploring the property as the ground was sodden but the area and house were exceptional. Very comfortable, clean and well prepared. Would definitely recommend.

Great family time in a beautiful setting

We had a great break & easily relaxed at Warialda. Gabrielle was a terrific host, checking we arrived ok & had everything we needed, even after 2 days indoors due to rain. We loved making the most of the space, hammocks, fire pit & fruit trees. Our eldest daughter cried when it was time to leave. Highly recommend this beautiful place.

Little piece of paradise

My husband, myself and elderly border collie booked this stay from the photo on Stayz. On arrival the photo did not do this place justice. The property is secluded quiet and simply spectacularly beautiful…if you are looking to unwind and enjoy the beauty of Mother Nature with the sophisticated luxury of a five star resort this is it… didnt really want to let the secret out …… we will be back hoping to make it our family holiday house…
