Picturesque surroundings with a genuine feeling of being at home, this place is both modern but cosy, elegant but not excessive. With less than 5 minutes drive to the hustle and bustle of Terrigal Beach- nights are peaceful and nature is uninterrupted. I can't wait to come again.
We had a wonderful stay and couldn’t be happier with our experience. The amenities are very complete, and the place is exceptionally clean and well maintained. The lounge and dining areas are very family friendly, which made it easy for us to relax and enjoy our time together. The location is also very convenient, close to shops and beaches, yet still peaceful. The hosts were incredibly friendly and very accommodating for our toddler—they provided a cot and a high chair, which was an absolute game changer for us. To top it all off, the view outside is beautiful and natural, and we even got to see wallabies, which was such a special touch.
We were a group of four senior ladies and found this a very spacious and comfortable house in a delightful peaceful location. The views of green fields and lots of trees are great, we even had a wallaby greet us on arrival. The kitchen fit-out is very good with a lot of complimentary supplies eg foil and cling wrap. The lower mattress on the bunk bed needs replacing, maybe ok for a child only, not an adult. Availability of some less bulky pillows would be good. Would highly recommend this place.
