Our first appearance of the property was shock at the amount of stairs and the unkempt exterior. Not a good start for 6 ladies who had to manhandle suitcases and shopping up stairs to the front door or alternately the stairs to the back door. The interior was spacious and well equipped but again more dreaded narrow stairs with incomplete handrail confronted us to lug our suitcases up to the bedrooms. The house was comfortable and well equipped with good views but definitely needs a great deal of maintenance and love and attention.

This is so perfect for a couple of families or a large extended family with kids or teens. There are different zones, a couple of kitchens, bunk room, heaps of bathtooms a fireplace and excellent deck. A short distance away there is beach access down to killcare and the surf club as well as a beautiful bogey hole at the south end. The Boudi National Park walk kicks off at the northern end of killcare beach around to Maitland Bay and is spectacular. This was a stunning weekend and the house was incredibly comfortable. I'm sure it has one of the best master bedrooms on the hill.

Relaxed and easy walk to the beach

The impression from the photos is that the views are of the ocean. You can see the ocean from three of the bedrooms and from a small balcony at the back of the property but not from the main living area and main balcony. There's ample sleeping room for 11 people but the kitchen isn't commensurate with this many people - it's quite small and the fridge is small. There was, however, a second fridge upstairs. The decor is lovely, lots of nice touches but there's a few basics missing such as enough pegs for the washing line and no Netflix (seems standard these days at most places). The property is a short walk to the beach, a huge plus, and has ample rooms for a large family. It does need some basic maintenance and painting.

Comfortable Beach House

House is not luxurious, needs upgrading in parts, but has plenty of space, is very relaxed and comfortable. The position is excellent as it is quiet and very close to the beach. We were disappointed that trees have blocked out the sea view from the entire downstairs of the property including the outdoor balcony. Lovely sea view from the upstairs main bedroom. All in all, a great house to return to.

Wonderful house for families, close to the beach & with enough room for everybody.

Our 2nd visit to this house as it's perfect for families/ groups, 5 mins walk to the beach. Great outdoor deck with BBQ ; indoors the room with ping pong table is great fun + there are extra toys for kids. Well appointed kitchen downstairs with enough of everything to cook a decent meal. Lovely views of the bush & out to the sea.

This was an excellent place for an extended family. Plenty of room for everyone

Lots of room, 3 bathrooms, 5 bedrooms, 2 kitchens, nice casual feel. Kitchen really well stocked for any cooking, and everything you need in the house. Very steep drive is a bit difficult for someone with a disability. Short walk to beach. An excellent house.

Great relaxed beach house in excellent location

We had a really marvellous time. The house is in a great location, a short stroll from Killcare beach. It had a very relaxed vibe, was comfortable and had everything we needed. Galina, the property manager, was extremely responsive and lovely to deal with. And the outdoor areas for the dogs were perfect.

Great getaway in Killcare

We had a lovely stay here. We all enjoyed staying in the house which comfortably accommodated two family groups. It was a nice short walk down the hill to the beach. Two living spaces, which made a holiday with children more comfortable. Nice ocean views from the bedroom. It was clean and comfortable. They also let us check out late so we can could have a relaxing Sunday, which was greatly appreciated. Our only criticism was that there were only a couple of tea bags and the downstairs bedroom needed some initial airing.

We loved our stay at the Killcare Beach Retreat. The house has everything you need, the beds are comfortable and we were lucky enough to watch the lunar eclipse and the moon rise the following night from the back deck! We will definitely be back!

Lovely spacious accom in a great location

We were 2 families, and we could have fit a 3rd. The property has everything you need - multiple hang out spaces, fireplace, well stocked kitchen, lovely big table to eat around. Ocean views - especially from the main bedroom. It was also just a very short walk to the.beach where we saw whales and dolphins!! We did miss having a bath tub, but no one had to wait for a shower and the ping pong table was put to good use! Thanks to the lovely owner and management. Having used Stayz previously I was a surprised at the additional 10% HomeAway fee (calculated on both the rental and the cleaning). I will be looking elsewhere for my bookings in future.
