House was clean and tidy, a bit dated but otherwise functional - well secured tidy yards which meant it was easy to have the young kids play outside.

Deck set amongst the trees .

Cute retro property, clean and comfy, lovely location. Perfect for a couple . We enjoyed sitting out on the deck set amongst the trees to look at the water. Only issue really was that the front door was warped and wouldn’t lock consistently.

Relaxing time

This house had all the necessary amenities, particularly in the kitchen, which allowed us to cook meals. Although we stayed for two nights, we regret not having stayed longer. We are considering returning to this place in the future.

Convenient holiday house

Great views and convenient place to stay. Great outdoor seating options. However, the listing incorrectly states there is a sofa bed in the sun room but it’s actually in the lounge.

Property is lovely with everything you need

Access to the property is not suitable for people with mobility issues or are wheelchair bound. But once in it was a lovely retro property with everything one can possibly need.

Wonderful place to stay

We loved the house, it was clean, cozy and filled with character which showed that some thought had been put into decorating it. It appeared to be freshly painted, with a very workable kitchen that had everything we needed. The weather was not great so it was a perfect house for the two of us as we were able to sit comfortably outside or inside. Great central location for us to go bushwalking in all directions. It is a bit out of town but we had lunch in Huskisson every day and then cooked dinner at night at the house. We would definitely stay at this home away from home again. Thanks to the owners for providing such a lovely property.

Great property. Beautifil, quiet and peaceful location. The balcony meant we could relax and enjoy the gorgeous view all day and even when there was rain! Great central spot to explore the region. We would happily stay here again.

Ideal location

We stayed a week here with our 12,10,8yo children. The house was comfortable for all of us with ample storage space for our extra belongings. Location beautiful. A tranquil place for a kayak and some crab and prawn hunting.
