Great location
Beautiful house in a perfect location. Some quirks (fridge is quite noisy and ‘moans’, dishwasher and microwave work well but took some figuring out). An extra bedside light in the bunk room and the sunroom would be good. But we managed perfectly well. The location is to die for. Right by the rock pools with views across the bay. We spotted kangaroos, rabbits and dolphins from the lounge room! Thanks Wendy.

Most relaxing holiday
What an incredible location so close to the gorgeous Currarong Rockpool. The old schoolhouse was the perfect holiday house with windows & doors wide open to the beauty of the peninsula. It was generously stocked with everything we needed. Thank you Wendy for a much needed break with family & friends.

beware! dirty, bugs in bed and no respect for guests
the house is in a prime location and a lovely old house. but run down and not clean plus although essentials are provided there is nothing that shows true hospitality. no love or care for guests, no warm welcome. on top there were not enough wine glasses, but worn plastic cups, dishwasher was not working properly, bugs and hair on mattresses on arrival, clothes dryer was not working properly and communication with host was great upfront but then turned nasty and confrontational after our departure. overall I would not recommend for the price, not worth it, eventhough we love Currarong. been to many houses and none were this disappointing.

Location, location, location
Lovely place, lovely space. Great location, views maximised in the living areas. 4 adults and we never felt cramped or on top of each other. Very comfy beds including cotton sheets, great showers. Clean and well maintained. A few minor probs with appliances (dishwasher not great, main tv complex to operate) and a lack of matching glassware takes this from 5 to 4 but we know its the end of summer and I’m sure the issues will be addressed when a lull comes.

A must stay
We had the most wonderful time. I can’t even express how great it was. From the initial booking and communication to the headache of having to leaving a beach Heaven. This place ticks all the boxes. Clean, great open spaces, wonderful kitchen, easy access to beaches and Bush walks. We saw dolphins, whales, pelicans, the water was crystal clean and very welcoming. My advice if you are debating on getting the Old school house....just do it!
