Beautiful home in beautiful location, spacious,comfortable and relaxing and an”at home” feeling. Everything you need for a stress free holiday and a bonus that our dogs could also enjoy a trip to the beach and a safe yard. A wonderful Aussie beach escape for our daughter’s Irish husband and my half Irish grandson for their first visit to Australia . Casa Sorella made it a very special holiday!

Summer Holiday in Paradise

Casa Sorella is a wonderful holiday home for the family and friends. Easy walk to the beaches and rocks, plenty of fishing spots and nature walks in the National Park at your front door.The house was nice and clean, with just about every appliance and kitchen item could want to use. The pool is great and the views and lovely afternoon breeze on the front deck was perfect for the relaxing afternoon beverage. A couple of pool lounges would have been good to catch those sun beams relaxed at home around the pool.

Casa Sorella

Our key concern was yard security for our dogs, and this property was perfect! The fence was in great condition and was very secure. Even the front deck was designed in a way that was very enjoyable, even with the dogs there!It is perfectly situated with amazing views, and very easy access to the beaches, including a dog friendly beach!Plenty of room for the whole family, and lots of lovely little touches that made us feel very welcome. It was very clean. The lower rating relates to the stale smell when we first entered.Thank you so much for a beautiful experience! We will be back!

Heated pool but not hot enough and limited time only

Hi we had a great time staying the only thing i can comment is how you advertise the property as heated pool, you should specify that it is only heated in the morning and you cannot adjust the temperature. I think you should change that and make the pool heated whenever the visitor needs to use the pool. And able to adjust the temperature of water for the visitors preference. Other than that it was okay! Thank you! And hopefully you improve your service! Thanks

WORTH THE VACATION: WORTH TO BE BACK AGAIN

Our overall rating for the place is 10/10. It is a perfect place to relax with ocean view, excellent for reading and meditation. The place has a very nice heated pool that even if its raining you will still enjoy the pool experienced. With a walking distance from the beach it was a plus experienced. Also it is very accessible from the shops and short drive from tourist places in Port Macquarie. My daughter enjoy the many toys and we also enjoy some of the board games. Rooms are very spacious and furniture is well thought. Amazing. We will definitely be coming back. Thanks Casa Sorella. Blessings
