Such a great place to stay!

We were a group of six and had an awesome time. The sun hits the balcony and pool perfectly. it was so nice to just chill out and jump in for a swim whenever we wanted. The house had everything we needed: plently of cookware in the kitchen, cleanliness, comfy beds, and air con in every room. Only thing to keep in mind is there’s no WiFi, and mobile reception was pretty much non-existent (even Telstra struggled). It’s also a bit of a walk to the bus stop, so I’d definitely recommend hiring a car if you’re not keen on walking to the bus. Also, make sure you stock up before you get to Horseshoe Bay — the local store didn’t have much when we were there (not even toilet paper!). Grab everything you need at IGA in Nelly Bay. All up, we had an amazing stay and would definitely come back.

Peaceful location

Great little cottage, very roomy and comfortable. Had everything we needed and the neighbourhood was very quiet and peaceful. The A/C in the lounge room did not work however but wasn’t the end of the world. And would have been great to have Wi-FI available. All in all a great weekend getaway with family and will definitely stay again. Thanks so much to the host.

Horseshoe Bay stay

We loved staying, with 4 children it was so nice to have our own space. The pool was a little smaller than expected but didn’t hinder our fun. Overall it was a great weekend!

Mumma's & Wife's Getaway

It was great to have Time Out with out our children or Hubbies for once... Just 4x Close FRIENDS in their 50's letting their hair down. Loved the House, very comfortable. A pillow case had bloid stains on it, pillow ok. AC in main BRm kept shorting out at the Switchbiard. - Fault there. Ladies were disappointed a little that there was no laundry piwer, unsure if we were to supply or not but we lived LOL. We topped up.the pool as was a little low, the lovely neighbor advised us of this. Very Thankful. We Tidied up, stripped the beds and left the key on dining table. Couldn't licate the laundry bag for linen tho. Apologies. Thank You very much for a wonderful stay.

New year's stay

Thanks so much for our wonderful stay at Dolphin Escape. The house was very comfortable, the beds and linen first class and the house was well stocked. The only draw back was no wifi and inconsistent internet availability. Coverage in this area may be slightly compromised. Otherwise this was a lovely, quite place for a relaxing holiday

50th Birthday

I would highly recommend this home,my partner and 3 adult children and grandson stayed from the 24th-27th May , we all were very impressed with the location and layout of this holiday home. We all had our own personal space if we needed it and it was only a short walk along the boardwalk to the beach and shops. Highly recommend it and will hopefully visit again soon.
