Immaculately clean, beautiful views, super comfortable bed, beaches were amazing, best dog beach we’ve ever been to, and the hosts we beyond kind and accommodating. We would definitely return to this rental!

Theresa Australia

Neil was a lovely and helpful man. The room was beautifully appointed and perfectly clean. Better than staying in a 5 star hotel! I was allowed to borrow one of the family's own bikes to go exploring on the nearby bike path. Bliss. Lots of information in the room about places to go and where to eat. Netflix etc available. I could live there quite happily!

Keston Australia

The Seaview room has a view of the ocean a couple of blocks away. The unit consist of a full kitchen and living room, bedroom with separate bathroom. The bathroom has a two-headed shower and jacuzzi tub and all-in-one washer/dryer. The kitchen if fully equipped, there is even an espresso machine. The bed is probably the best bed we have had during our Aussie vacation, and the wife reckons that the shower is tops as well. Included is swimming pool, BBQ grill, and very nice wrap-around porch all of which we could not use since our stay coincided with the most rain in the area for the last 13 years!

Robert United States of America

This truly was a private and peaceful place. Super friendly hosts, amazingly comfy bed, and so close to the beach. Ten out of ten would come back!

Debra Canada

Perfect place for a quiet stay near the beach. Managers are exceptionally friendly and accommodating all requests; just ask and you are bound to get it (within reason). A good alternative for those not wanting to stay in the centre of Gong.

Tadeusz Australia

I loved the facilities at this guesthouse. It had everything to make the stay comfortable. The bathroom is amazing including the bed. It also has booklets and pamphlets and sites to see.

Sinan Australia

Everything was excellent. Milk in the fridge. Good TV service.

Casetrad Australia

Down to Earth friendly owner, complete privacy, gorgeous bedroom/bed, bathroom facilities with spa and double shower. 180 degree views from mountain to beach. Sound of the waves and quiet location.

Kerry Australia

Easy access. Comfortable and quiet. Pet friendly. Two minute walk to Sandon Point Beach to walk the dogs (council times apply).

Grant Australia

Owners very friendly. Very quiet. Close to most things. Clean.
