Simple Beach Living
We stayed for a week after Easter 2024 having previously stayed in 2023. Weather was not kind but we still managed some beach time. Property is well located - under15 min walk to beach or 10 min to city centre. Two bathrooms and toilets along with two lounge areas made for easy family living. Crockery and cookware is fine for simple meals but not for serious cooking. A modest home, secure yard, makes for a relaxing holiday.

Great location
Great location great for large family and dogs. Grass was very long at side of house could do with a bit of an update with furniture inside but comfortable. Kitchen cupboards very cluttered not much room for food storage for family for 4 days. Outdoor furniture bit rusted could be updated. Overall clean and suited us with family wedding locally.

Our Second Stay
This is the 2nd time we have stayed at this property and not only is the location ideal being close to the surf beach and main shopping strip but the property is ideal for a larger family and it is set back with a private yard where you can securely park multiple vehicles and has plenty of space for our furry friend to run around in.

Comfortable, functional and relaxing šŸ˜Š
The property is in an excellent location. Close to the beach and shops without being too close. Its very private, all rooms a good size and the kitchen well-appointed. Everything you need. We had an awesome time with family - at one stage three adult couples plus children. We also had two dogs, and the yard is very secure. The house is light, airy and very comfortable. We wouldnt hesitate to book a getaway here again. Thanks!

Short Stoll to Beach and Shops
Great beachhouse. Quite rustic so you could relax but very comfortable. Excellent location, walked to beach, shops, easy cycle to Barwon Heads. Everything worked well. Comfy beds. Air con in main areas and fans in every other room in wardrobes. Great to have a second lounge and outdoor space for sitting and BBQ. Nice street and very quiet. Would love to stay again!
