A perfect home away from home
I had stayed at Callala Bay before so I was already aware of the beautiful area to stay at but my family hadn't. So they got more than a pleasant surprise at what they found when they opened the blinds on the sliding doors at the back of the house. It was a very relaxing space with plenty of room for people to have space from others. Games, books internet so mny pluses- we even saw dolphins swim by. Our furbaby loved the leash free beach & huge backyard to explore in. Can't wait to come back again soon.

A beautiful place for a relaxing break
Check in was easy and simple, when we arrived we were taken back by the amazing view! So close to the bay, and in walking distance to wonderful clean beaches. Such a beautiful location, with friendly locals and laid back coastal vibe. Everything was thought of and the property was clean, tidy and just so homely. I would definately go back, I feel we need to book for Summer! Only thing I would have loved (as we sadly had almost a week of rain) is an undercover area for the dogs to stay warm and dry when we headed out. The yard got a bit sloshy with so much rain - couldn't be helped. Dogs are allowed in the house however wouldn't want them unsupervised in an unfamiliar house for too long. Thanks for a lovely relaxing break.

Good location but not value for money
Location and outlook was good. For the money we payed though you would expect good quality beds and bedding but they weren't. Also there is no cover over the verandah, or between the house and the studio and as it rained for much of our stay, we got wet every time we were going between the two. We couldn't sit outside and enjoy the view either. Next time, I would stay a street or two back in a house with a covered verandah and save our money.

Beachside Getaway
We had a lovely stay at this property. Was well set up for our family with my two sons staying in the back cottage and the adults in the main cottage. Great location right by the water (you could spot dolphins from the balcony!) and walking distance to the shops. Well set up generally - couple of basic things missing (like rubbish bags!) but otherwise no complaints. Would stay there again.

Bay Cottage management let us down
The property was in a superb location and with its enclosed yard and courtyard was perfect for our pet dog. However, the cabin ensuite was mouldy & unventilated , the window unable to be opened and had spiders and cobwebs. The main house had obviously not been cleaned- toilet paper in the toilet bowl, an empty drink can left on coffee table- awful! The dishwasher door latch was broken. I messaged the managing rental company about this but I received no response. The bathroom door could not be locked. The worst thing however occurred the day before check-in( in fact 22 hours before!) I was informed by Holiday Rental Specialists that our holiday at Bay Cottage had to be cancelled because the owner was occupying the property. After 3 phone calls, and the case being escalated to Ric, a team manager, I was told that our booking would go ahead. I was relieved but the hours of not knowing whether our special friends reunion holiday would go ahead we’re very stressful and distressing. After this experience I will NEVER book with Stayz if Holiday Rental Specialists are the property managers. We completed feedback forms at the property but so far we have not heard back from this rental company. I would appreciate it if Stayz management follow up this complaint and inform me of any outcome. A very disappointing and upsetting experience. Jennifer Blevins

Return to childhood holidays
This property was where we used to holiday when we were younger. It was owned then by close family friends. It was lovely to sit out on the terrace and enjoy the beauty and tranquility of the bay again. Also wonderful to go to sleep with the sound of the sea . I lovely time had by all. Everything provided for in the property. One little issue was BBQ had not be cleaned so it took my brother a good hour to clean it up. But then it was well used over our stay. We will return,

We had a lovely weekend at Callala Bay & wouldn't hesitate to return or recommend Bay Cottage to family & friends. It is in such a lovely spot, pretty & peaceful with easy access to the bay & jetty for walking, swimming, fishing or boating, with a park & small playground nearby. The cottage was very clean & comfortable & well equipped with everything you could possibly need.

We love Bay Cottage and this is our second stay. The view is stunning as is the cottage. There were a few things missing in the kitchen, a can opener,oven mitts, a few more plastic containers would be good too. My only real complaint was that the bathroom was very grotty, it needs a really good clean, there was dog faeces in the yard and the cottage floors could have done with a really good vaccum. I don’t like complaining but I thought you should know, these issues need attention.I know cleaning can be difficult during such a busy time. I would still come back to Bay Cottage because it’s heaven on earth ❤️❤️ Regards Chris Bendall😁🌊⛱🏡
