If youre looking for a quiet place with a beautiful ocean view away from the city, this is perfect. They even mowed a path down to the beach below. Great walk and so quiet. Highly recommend and it was close enough to Sydney that we could drive in to do what we needed.

The beach house was located on a beautiful property. The view was lovely and it was very quiet. The accommodation was a bit over priced and the kitchen could have been better stocked.

Peaceful location with lovely views of the ocean and easy access to a rocky beach. Owner's house is right next door but they gave us lots of privacy while being available if we needed anything.We didn't cook but the kitchen was well appointed for that. Somewhat remote from restaurants but very manageable if you plan ahead and allow yourself time. Very close to Donelda's puffin cruise which was excellent.

Dauphin Guest House

Although we had a short stay & didn’t spend much time in the house, we did love watching the full moon & sun rises. The house is small but very comfortable. Beautiful setting. The host & his niece were very helpful & kind. I would recommend this home to any one who likes to be a little off the beaten path.

Oceanside View

Absolutely amazing choice. Oceanside view with the rolling waves and the fresh smell of the saltwater wafting in was absolutely perfect. The wind blowing by the house along with the cormorants, ducks, and all the other wildlife topped the vacation

Loved it!

We absolutely loved our stay at this cottage! I went with my mom and we loved the cozy feel of space. The view is phenomenal and the deck was so great for starting our day with a morning coffee. The shower is a little small but we managed. The long gravel road to get to the cottage was a little difficult if you're not used to it and probably not great for nervous drivers but you also get an awesome view throughout the drive so worth it. We would definitely stay here again.

Off the beaten path....

Very much enjoyed our visit at this sparkling new beach house. Richard was very easy to work with, relaxed and at the ready. The shared space (we were 4) is cozy but as others have mentioned the view is exceptional. There is a short mown path to the beach and long walks call you either there or on the quiet road behind the cottage. Gorgeous spot in the fall.
