Large Pet Friendly house with pool
Callala Beach out the front door & the bush just out the back... Sit back, it is time to coast...

Due to Stayz and NSW Tourism policies, we are meant to limit groups to no more than 10 adults, i.e. to get the maximum of 14 staying the booking would consist of at least 4 children.

Drifter’s @ Callala Beach has lots of character, cathedral/vaulted ceilings, polished timber floors, large outdoor deck for alfresco dining framed by the bush & in-ground pool, all helping to give it a modern beach house feel.

Wonderful

The house was clean and large. We enjoyed our stay and the children loved the little playground in the back and the pool. The area was quiet and a very short stroll to the beach. Great place to stay with family and friends.
Lovely pool and property. Close by amd short walk to gorgeous white sand and dog friendly beach. Nb fbrubg supplies as ish and chip shop cash only and IGA at nearby Callalah Bay well stocked with great coffee at bakery next door but no shops at beach.
We had a wonderful week staying at the house. I live interstate so it was nice to have my sisters and nieces under one roof.
The property was clean, kitchen well equipped and furnished perfectly for a family holiday.
We loved sitting on the back deck, the kids enjoyed the swings and braved the pool!
Highly recommend this property.
This house was perfect for our fanily holiday. House was clean and it actually felt like a home not a rental. Lots of kitchen utensils and crockery, big bbq and pool was good for those that used it. Could not fault the house and the communication with the owners. Nothing was to much trouble
Property managers were great to deal with, really nice, very approachable and any issue was promptly sorted out and fixed. Can't fault the home, very clean and really good location, just a short walk to the beach.Only small issue was the internet wasn't the greatest and tv kept cutting out due to not being able to load the programs, would be great to have a TV upstairs as well, but we had great family game nights away from the TV anyhow. An Aircon upstairs would be an added bonus for summer, it does get quite warm during the day, although there are fans provided in every room and a ceiling fan in family room upstairs, it doesn't do very much to remove the heat but it did cool down at night time to allow for a more comfortable sleep.Overall was a great holiday and nice location!
Was amazing to have a pool available, as it got a little too hot upstairs. The beach is so close and great for younger children, easy to access. Loved our stay. Thankyou
Great home in a wonderful location. Easy walk to the beach and barista coffee up the road. Nice spacious backyard, we loved the pool! Did get very hot on the balcony upsatirs though, some extra shade would've been good to utilise this space more. Communication with hosts was easy which was appreciated.
Family had a great four day stay. Plenty of room, kids loved the pool and swing set. Close to beach.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
Nice large property, suitable for a big family weekend away. Great location - minutes to the beach and nice pizza restaurant nearby. Cleanliness and maintenance of the property are significant areas for improvement - multiple cockroaches at our time of stay (both dead and alive), and difficult to lock front door and windows. Pool net was broken so pool was also covered in leaves.

Excellent place
We had a great time at a very well equipped, spacious property. Excellent facilities, customer-service oriented owners and a lovely location. A couple of blocks from the beach, short drive to the shops, and plenty of room for adults and kids alike. Only regret was we couldn't stay longer.
Callala Beach is a lovely area for families. It’s quiet, child friendly and the beach is perfect for small children. Drifters is well set out for a large family, with a big living area and two rooms with bunk beds downstairs and a second living area, kitchen and three separate bedrooms upstairs. We really enjoyed our stay and would come back again.
Very nice and clean property. The owner has provided all the amenities. The swimming pool was so clean but we couldn't get in the water because of cold weather. Want to come again in this property in future.
The property was a bit run down needs a little bit of maintenance doors and windows hard to open and close and lock also cleaning of property on arrival was amiss, the barbeque was filthy covered with fat, greese and food particles
House was lovely and big, plenty of room to spread out. Backed onto bushland which was lovely. The house was well stocked with everything we needed. Good flat walk to the beach. The pool in the yard was lovely and clean which we enjoyed, just a bit tricky getting in and out with no rails.

BEAUTIFUL PROPERTY
The property satisfied all our holiday beach house expectations.
It was a cold and rainy weekend but the fireplace kept us warm and jolly.
We didn't venture out of the house much except to go to the beach because we were just happy to stay in the house - rest, relax, eat and enjoy good company.
WE ARE GOING BACK!
We enjoyed our stay thoroughly. The swimming pool was a big hit and we all had a great time. Location is excellent as very close to the beach (walking distance). It would be a bonus to add aircon, a tv upstairs and some outdoor furniture for the pergola downstairs. Other than that the house has plenty of space for everyone and the kitchen is well equipped too!
Thank you for your hospitality Geoff and Roxii!
A lovely family friendly pet friendly home. The house had lots of fans but was quite hot in the house on really warm days. We will definately stay again. Would be nice to have internet next time. Xx air-conditioning would be amazing. Loved hearing the waves from the house.

Just perfect and great service
We had a lovely stay at Drifters over New Years with our family of 10. The house is light and spacious with lots of room for the kids and adults to play. The pool added another level of fun to the holiday and with the beach such a short walk away it was rare to find any of us not in swimmers. We had one issue in which the kitchen sink pipes began to leak on New Years Eve, but the owner Geoff had a plumber at the house within an hour and all was sorted quickly and efficiently. We are hoping to make our way back to Drifters again this year as we have made such beautiful memories there.

Great Location
The house was very clean and well presented and perfect for our family. The location is wonderful. The owner is very accommodating and understanding. We were very disappointed in the complaints from the neighbour who did not like us talking, laughing or the dogs barking. We did not enjoy or relax the weekend as we were so stressed from the phone calls of complaints from the neighbour. We thought we found the perfect holiday home for our family however I would not recommend this property if you want to go with teenage kids or dogs.
No wifi which was a bit of a bummer. Internet connection was poor in the house. You will need to go outisde to get decent reception. TV connection wasnt the best either as it lagged often. However there was a great selection of DVDs so this helped. I met the property owner and she was lovely and very helpful. Pool area was great for entertaining the kids. Will definiately re-book in the warmer months.
