The property was sensational, everything that we needed (except for towels and sheets) were there. The facilities were fantastic, close to all facilities and shops. If I could rate it more than 10/10 I would!

John Australia

Great location, walking distance to shops and cafes, short drive into Batemans Bay and lots of beaches to choose from. House was very well equipped and comfortable and great value. Everything provided for preparing meals, even a barbecue and outdoor area. Just had to bring own towels and sheets and personal items. Food shopping 5 minutes walk, IGA, butcher, bakery, newsagent, chemist, even a medical centre.

Elsa Australia

Great location, close to shops, Fish and chip shop around the corner was sensational and well priced. Property itself was well presented and everything you need.

Damian Australia

Great location and value for money. Perfect for all our family. Hosts have thought of everything.

Shiree Australia

House, location and area were exceptional. Owners have taken pride in their property. Has great heating/cooling, but if you want a fire there is a Fireplace that is fantastic, with service station near by that sells cheap bags of wood. Local Shops 100 meters away and beach an extra 50 meters. Thank you for letting us stay.

Michael Australia

Everything else was as described. Clean kitchen, plenty of pans, utensils etc. Some basic supplies like sauce, PB, Vegemite etc. Choice of Games, variety of dvds. Plenty of room to spread out if you have kids or pets. Quiet area and shops around the corner.

Amanda Australia

Claire Australia

The unit itself felt like a cabin in the woods. It was good clean and spacious and the fireplace was great. The location was perfect as well. This one is good enough to tell your friends and know they will all love it.

We love our property and it is a great place to get away from the weeks work, once we arrive there is no more work discussions, just in summer walking the dog along the beach followed with a BBQ. In winter, snuggle up and read a book in front of the open fire. Very relaxing , hope you ill come and enjoy the tranquillity soon.
