Situated on a lovely bush fringed, sunny section, this barn-style holiday home has the basic comforts and enjoys a pleasant outlook over the surrounding bush to the sand spit and ocean beyond. The house is a brief stroll to the calm, sandy estuary beach at the end of Pearl St, or walk a couple of minutes further to the stunning surf beach and avoid the summer traffic jams at the carpark.

    We had a great stay at this bach. Perfect fit for our group of parents, teens and doggo. Open plan and flexible areas worked really well. It had everything we needed at the bach, nothing too fancy so you dont have to panic about the kids damaging anything. excellent location, walking distance to both estuary and surf beaches. Nice and private feel to it with bush surrounding but not shading the house. Would definitely stay here again. Beautiful sunrise views and birdsong.

    Only thing that’s fab about this place was the view. The owners need to water blast the deck of mould, curtains in lounge one was ripped another stained, tiles on floor around fire broken tape doesn’t work, broken light fixture over dinning table only half working. Had to buy more dinner plates we didn’t fancy eating off hard plastic . Instructions on how to use the tv should be included book.

    Property does need some maintance and attention. Outdoor chairs dangerous to sit on however overall the bach is great. We were a family of 8 and the bach accommodated all of us. Lovely view and an easy walk down to the water. Very reasonable rates for the time of year we were there. Would recommend especially if maintance attended to.

    Great location and a terrific view - house was clean and comfortable however the sleep out was musty and curtains were a little mouldy which added to the musty smell but overall a great place for a weekend away - would definitely come back

    Property has what you need but the views are the real hit with this house. Great little walk to the beach House definitely needs some updating as it's a bit old now, sofas etc would be nice to have some comfier options but overall a good experience
