Throughly enjoyed staying at Aracalm! Lovely home with everything we needed. The pool was perfect, and the deck was great for our family barbecues. Heather was very welcoming, helpful and communicative, a wonderful host. The Arakoon and south west rocks areas are absolutely stunning, Trial Bay beach was gorgeous, untouched and just wonderful. Some lovely restaurants around south west rocks too. Would definitely stay at Aracalm again! Five stars

We had a very relaxing holiday staying at Aracalm House. Heather was a great host. The house had everything we needed plus more! Most evenings we sat on the decking overlooking the beautiful pool and garden with a bbq and board games. The dog had a great time exploring the garden. The area is peaceful, close to the beach and not far into town either walking along the beach or a short drive. I would definitely come back to Aracalm!

Fantastic pet friendly stay!

My family really enjoyed staying here. Very pet friendly, with a big secure yard for them to play in, and close to a dog beach. We enjoyed exploring all around town, as well as the beaches and national park. Heather was always quick to respond to any messages and the house was a great place to unwind at the end of the day. We'd love to stay again in the future!

Great family home in a quiet location

Very comfortable house in a great location and love that it is pet friendly! Did some great scuba diving with SWR Dive Centre. Heather is a fantastic host, is a great communicator and was so accommodating when we needed to change our booking dates due to cyclone Alfred. Highly recommended :).

Great location and great family house

House was perfect for what we needed and close to walking trails and the beach. The only negative was the initial damp smell in the property as we came in but once we opened up windows and external doors it very quickly improved

Great Property and Location

My family had a great time at this property. It had the space we need with 4 kids and the provided amenities are great. We really made use of the deck for meals and relaxing and the kids had a blast in the pool. Great location, short drive to beaches and national park. Heather was wonderful to deal with. We will definitely stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Heather sheppard

Host profile image
We have been enjoying the Arakoon area for more than 30 years . It really is a magical spot with seasonal whale watching and natural beauty. Our succession of much loved blue heeler cattle dogs love the dog friendly beach. Hosting a holiday home here is special to us as it allows many other families & fur children to enjoy the area.

Why they chose this property

Aracalm Beach House is within walking distance to two amazing beaches. White sand & beautiful blue waters. The dolphins are often playing in the waves. Fall asleep to sound of the ocean. The National park offers some very good bushwalks and koala spotting

What makes this property unique

Our property is truly dog friendly with a fully fenced large back yard. Your dogs are welcome inside the house (not on furniture or beds please).
We are within walking distance of the beaches, cafes & have natural bushland around us. The swimming pool makes for a special stay. Entertaining for the kids & adults.
