We had a wonderful time at this property with our family of adults. The house layout is a little unusual and not as open plan as we hoped. However, the views and host Therese were absolutely amazing! Totally recommend!

This house was absolutely amazing. It was well furnished and accommodated the number of guests we had. There was a washer dryer which helped upon returning home with less unwashed clothing. There was plenty of space to entertain inside as well as the balcony which had the most exceptional postcard views of the beach and Pacific Ocean. To top it off there was a less than five minute walk to the beach and grassed area where you can play games of cricket. Thank you for an amazing place to stay

Fabulous location, basic supplies

We were a group of friends who had a lovely weekend at the property. The location is fantastic - right near a great foot/cycling track to walk to Thirroul and Bulli Beaches. The view from the deck and kitchen sink are amazing, but you can't see much of it from the lounge room. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen had very few utensils for cooking.

Hens party - May 2023

Overall, it was a wonderful stay. Beautiful property right on the beach. Only things to be mindful of: while it states that one of the bedrooms has 2x single beds, it was a double bed instead, and there was a really strong bad odour coming from the main bathroom’s drain which lasted about 3 hours. Perhaps it hadn’t been used in a while but it was something else to be mindful of. Also the coffee machine didn’t work. But everything else was fab!
