About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Waters Edge Retreat

Fabulous hideaway with fully matured gardens for serene privacy. Peace and tranquility that will relax to the point of losing yourself. Listen to the soft tones of the ocean waves caressing the shore line. Pull up a chair and marvel at the starry night sky. Enjoy a romantic glass of wine by the blazing fire. This is what it's all about!

The house has three bedrooms that consist of a Queen size bed, a double bed and in the kids room a bunk bed and a single bed.

Some family time!

When the kids are restless it's time to walk to the beach - 100 meters and you are on the sand - Forget something or need an extra towel, no problem to return home and collect it without missing any of the action.
Head towards Australia Rock for the many rock pools.
The kids love it!
Plenty of videos and toys to entertain the kids on those wet days.
Enjoy large decks front and back. Bikes and boogie boards in the shed. Gas and wood BBQs.

Ideally suited for one large or 2 small families.

Peak period bookings over January must be Fri/Sat/Sun weekly.

STRICTLY NO PETS AND NO SMOKING!!!
Linen not supplied.

Fantastic surf beach family holiday home
Wonderful and comfortable old-school beach holiday home. No wifi meant we had great family times with lots of board games and beach days. Loved the ringtail possum and baby! Will be back for sure!

Best holiday ever!
We had a wonderful stay, with quick and easy access to the surf beach as well as the local marine national park. The street was quiet and away from the busyness of the main beach areas. The house was clean and well furnished, well stocked with utensils and equipment (including cleaning materials). The two decks were great, one is nicely shaded with great BBQ facilities and the second is large, perfect for having guests. We even spotted a koala in the garden. The best bit was being able to hear the sounds of the ocean. We'd love to visit again.

Weekend Break
Despite the age of the property, the inside was very clean and fresh. Bathroom was exceptionally clean. The bed in front bedroom was very comfortable. The wet weather meant we couldn't use the large deck or make use of the yard which unfortunately was not manicured as depicted in pictures of the property. The host was helpful and responded to queries in a timely manner. I'd book again.

Was great cosy home close to the beach
We loved it, only thing that could have improved the property would have been fully fenced yard so the kids could run around and not get onto the road. Otherwise the property was fantastic.

Our stay at Inverloch
The house was very spacious and in a quiet location. Unfortunately the air conditioner (split system) was not working. The majority of us couldn't get a phone connection. Only 5 dining chairs provided for 6 guests. We had to carry in a garden chair for meals. Overall though we had a comfortable stay and enjoyed the short walk to the beach.

Had a great stay and highly recommend!
This is our second stay at this house and we love it. Really nice cozy yet spacious house, the photos don't do it justice. We made use of the fireplace on two nights and got the house warmed up in no time (and our 8 & 9-year-old boys loved that, having not used a fireplace before). All the kitchen pots, pans, utensils, plates etc that we needed. And, most importantly it's super close to the main beach. The owner went above and beyond to make sure our stay went to plan (originally I booked an incorrect date and Shaun was very helpful in getting the date swapped). Highly recommend and we'll be back.

Neat and tidy, with all the basics. The location was awesome…right near the beach and close enough to the centre if tins to walk in, but far enough not to be near crowds.

Excellent location in inverloch
We had a great stay in Inverloch, communication from Shaun was extremely timely and informative and the property was a generous size and couldn’t hope for a better location ! Would definitely stay here again and the kids loved the proximity to the beach for their surf lessons. Regards.
