Beautiful Home!

This is a beautiful, spacious, and quiet home surrounded by lovely lawn and grounds. It’s well suited for a short car ride to see the penguins, dolphins, and other sights in and around Curio Bay. We had a very enjoyable stay!!

Spacious, warm (well insulated!) property. We were especially grateful for the pet-friendly policy, which allowed us to get away for a family break with our dog. Gertie really appreciated the opportunity to come away with us. Thank you. Highly recommend.

Great house with everything you need. Easy to walk around the area. Didn’t receive check in code so was lucky the neighbour contacted owner and we were able to access house. Very comfortable and would love to come and stay for a week next time.

The location is a short drive to Curio Bay, hence the reason we selected. It’s a big, clean house with no WiFi. The kitchen items are random, stovetop is rusted, and sofa is very worn in. Bathroom appears upgraded with good hot shower. Communication was excellent.

This may be the cleanest home I've ever been in (including my own...ha!) Beds were comfortable, location was quiet, gardens surrounding the home were lovely. We stayed in the off season so the town was closed up tight, but we had anticipated the need to bring some food with us. I'd book this home again in a heartbeat.

Wonderful house

It was a very nice comfortable house. Enough beds for families with kids and cozy setting for couples too. Laundry facilities were nice since we stayed here in the middle of a long trip. Felt like home and I would recommend for everyone.

A whole three bedroom house on your own land, not far from a number of waterfalls walks & Cathedral caves. Over looking the estuary / bay. Loved this place. Host was easy to communicate with. Would definitely stay again.
