Guest Reviews: "Deck the halls - what a fabulous location to spend time with family! With more than enough beds to sleep 2 young families, we were able to celebrate a memorable Christmas, and cook a substantial Christmas feast for everyone with an impressively stocked kitchen. There are more appliances, bowls, glasses, baking dished and cutlery to use whilst another whole set in in the dishwasher! The huge deck is a beautiful place to relax and drink a few glasses of wine whilst catching up with friends and family in a serene and private space. The only background noise is the ever-chirruping cicadas, and the beach is an easy stroll down the street. Great location, fantastic generously furnished house with ALL the comforts of home - in fact, their kitchen was better stocked than mine!! We hope to return some day :)"
"It was such a lovely place, and we really enjoyed the stay at this house. As a bunch of Europeans, we almost forgot what a house with double-glassed windows look like :) It felt like home! And the outdoor spa was just amazing. We were 8 adults had the best time at the Deck. I definitely will recommend this place to my friends."

Beautiful location and family friendly house
This is our third stay over the last few years. We love the location, private space and expansive deck. The kitchen is always well stocked and the house has a beachy, family friendly vibe. The older kids absolutely love the spa too. Thanks again for a wonderful week away with my family

House was great and in an amazing location
The house was great and in an amazing location. There were a few niggly things that could have made our stay more comfortable though. The circuit in the room downstairs kept switching off during the night so the fan kept turning off which made for a very uncomfortable stay for one of the families we were with. I messaged the house manager and he advised it was a known issue, they just didn’t know what was tripping the circuit. It would have been nice to have been told this before or offered compensation as it effected one families whole experience at the property. I have stayed at many rental properties and have never seen so many rules for a house before. It was a bit much and we felt like we had to constantly check if what we were doing was ok.There was also not powerpoint outside, so to be able to turn on the mozzie catcher out there we had to lead a big cord through the house which is unsafe with our young children around. The bunk room also didn’t have a fan.We tried to put the safety gate on as we had young children with us, but not all the pieces were there so we were unable. Most of us did have a great stay and I would recommend it to friends, but maybe not in the stinking hot summer and with as many young children as we had. The house had a dishwasher which was great, a big deck which was amazing and the best eating nook that the children loved. For the price, this property was fantastic!!!

Lovely place, with a few issues
The Deck is a wonderful house, perfect for a family gathering and brilliantly located. We had a great time.However - there are a number of issues that could be improved. The biggest issue is the long list of cleaning expectations placed on the guest - it's fairly overwhelming and frequently threatens with the loss of your security deposit. Washing dishes is a reasonable expectation, but shaking out doormats and mopping floors is a bit intense.When we discovered that the previous guests had obviously not followed many of the rules, we were a bit stressed that we would be blamed. We provided feedback on these issues but never received a response.All in all the stay was pleasant, but for the premium price I would expect a little more hospitality.

Elizabeth Beach Long Weekend
We spent the June Long Weekend in Betinas Elizabeth Beach House. The house was clean with an extremely well equipped kitchen. The beds were comfortable, the deck was large with plenty of seating and Betina was quick to answer questions and very informative.
It was only a short walk to the beach and we also enjoyed the spa.
Thank you for helping create wonderful weekend for my family.

Lovely big home conveniently located
Had a fantastic long weekend with family. Beach, booth booti trail and weekend markets within 5min walk. Furniture is a little dated but house has all amenities needed. There was some dust around the place so plenty of sneezing. Spa was a hit with the kids, especially on cooler days when the beach was a no go.

Family vacay vibes
We stayed at The Deck for a Family Christmas - the property was well equipped for everything we needed, especially given we were hosting Christmas lunch for us all and within walking distance (for the young ones!) to the gorgeous Elizabeth Beach! Also to the infamous ‘Reccy Club’ for sunset nibbles and cocktails!!
Everything was as described in the add, The outdoor spa and warm shower were an absolute treat, paired with the huge deck for endless hours of outside fun! Would recommend to all of my family and friends - only downside was the onslaught of mosquitoes and bugs, but that is the consequence of backing onto such a beautiful rainforest! Definitely recommend the property but that you also pack bug spray, coils and candles!!

Great house great holiday
Betina is a great host that takes pride in her home and it shows, the house was perfect for us, and walking distance to Elizabeth beach which is a perfect patrolled beach for our kids. The house had everything we needed including thing to bake a cake for my daughters birthday.
The outside shower was awesome and was so good to clean the kids off - they used this shower more than inside again had everything we needed.
The only slight down side was no dryer, but that’s not a big issues just need to pack extra beach towels in case it rains and hard to dry.
We will definitely book the deck again next time we go to Elizabeth beach -
Oh and the house had awesome internet service !!
Thanks again Betina for having us in your lovely home it was perfect

The Deck, Pacific Palms
The house was in a central spot in Pacific Palms, walking distance to the beach and a very short car ride to the boat ramp and Rec Club.
House was very clean and well laid out as far as sleeping arrangements go, 2 bedrooms upstairs and the bunk room with the 4th bedroom downstairs if you were looking to get away from the rest of the crew staying with you! Plenty of undershelter parking under the house, street parking was pretty skinny if your group has too many cars. Rained the weekend we were there but this wanst a problem with plenty of room inside and out on the verandah for our group. The Hot tub and out door shower ( with hot water!) were a big hit.
Would be happy to book it again.

We didn't appreciate the man across the road coming over and abusing us in the foulest language and in front of the children about a party that we didn't even have. There were three of us talking on the veranda, no music or anything. Actually we were that quiet we had a visit from a possum with a baby on her back. Otherwise we thoroughly enjoyed the house and Elizabeth Beach.

Family holiday
The Deck is in a great location, peaceful and quiet and within walking distance to the beach and Rec Club for dinner. House was large enough for multiple families and kids, with good kids room set up so they can all be together.
Downfalls would be no TV reception or kids DVD's provided for rainy day entertainment. Conflicting information was given regarding expectations around cleaning before leaving and I was unsure if COVID safe standards were being adhered to. Also, providing our own doona covers didnt make a lot of sense to me and was inconvenient to change over each bed at the beginning and end of our stay. These few small changes would provide for a more relaxing stay.

Great location, no wifi
While this property is big, spacious and held our group of 8 comfortably, it could do with revised cleaning procedures and better maintenance checks. The bathrooms were tidy but clearly had not been properly cleaned between guests and the toilet cistern downstairs leaked constantly so we were wading through water each time we used it. No wifi and no phone reception should be called out on site ad. Downstairs mattress very lumpy and uncomfortable. Great location but needs refreshing and updating for the price.

Good house for a big group
This is a good house for a big group in Lyons different ages. Three queen bedrooms and one bunk room including 2 x bunk beds with queen on the bottom, single on top, and a queen loft bed. It has a bit of a “summer camp” feel to it. The deck is adjacent to a bush area so bring mozzie coils and spray. Cicadas were extremely loud in summer 2020/21 but that could have been from all the rain. The second bathroom is the laundry downstairs. There is no dryer so if it rains you’ll hang all your clothes out inside. Great location and the nearby caravan park now does coffee! 👍
