Stunning house and perfect location

The property was even more beautiful than the pictures, with elegant interiors, spacious rooms, and every amenity we could have wished for. The location was perfect—one block from the beach! Communication with the property manager was seamless and timely; they were always available to answer any questions and provided clear instructions for check-in and check-out. The attention to detail in both the home and the service made our experience truly memorable. We can't wait to return.

Fabulous location and accommodation

We loved staying here, with plenty of room for 5 adults. Could walk to the beach, cafes and restaurants. Only reason it's a 4 for overall rating was the grass was really long and could've done with a mow. Would highly recommend and will stay here again.

Fantastic floorplan and convenient location

There was plenty of room to move around and very close to beach along with shoreline cafes. Property was great for group of friends. Would work particularly well for families with children. Kids upstairs, adults with space downstairs. Recommend a stay! Tip: aircon runs off smart system. Ensure temp is set at 23c or above and zones to be cooled (or warmed) are open. You can close off zones for greater efficiency.

Agent very accomodating. Able to check in earlier as one of the guest was already in Newcastle. Large house with all the necessities. 2 min walk to the beach front. Ocean views from the main bedroom and front door. Surf club house walking distance, where you can have breakfast lunch and dinner. Would be a great house for multiple family get away.

Great Spacious House in perfect location

Wonderfully equipped generously proportioned modern house. Great weekend away with five mature ladies- enough space for everyone and three bathrooms was an added bonus. Comfortable lounges and massive dining table were great.

Perfect location

Perfect location and beautifully styled home. Superficially clean, but floor needed a good wet mop… no insect spray to spray cockroaches and cutlery/ crockery needed to be washed. Back step outside is possible health and safety issue. Lots of trouble unlocking front door so used garage instead. Red bin was full to the brim on arrival and too heavy to move. Previous tenants didn’t bother separating recycling from other garbage. A neighbour had said that some break in attempts had occurred in the street. It may have been an idea to let us know to be aware of this.

Beautiful beach house

The property was better than we could expect from photos, it was spacious for a family of adults weekend with lots at entertaining areas. Sunny spots for relaxing. We were able to have lots of family time without being cramped in. We enjoyed the beach walks everyday as the beach was at the end of the street and the location of the house itself was very convenient to coffee shops eateries and shopping in Darby street. Highly recommend 😀
