Eco Hot-tub Cottage

DirkRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Had a most lovely time in the cabin. There are a few cabins in the location, all with enough space and spacing to let you feel like you are away from it all. The hot tub was lovely, being able to be accessed directly out the front of the cabin. There was plenty of glassware and other things so that if you wanted to you could use it. We brought our own, but you wouldn't need to. It's a great location, close to the beach and a short 10 to 15 minute drive to other nearby locations with lots of restaurant and food options.
An open living area featuring a round wooden dining table surrounded by four white chairs. A compact kitchen with light cabinetry is visible, alongside a microwave and refrigerator. A neutral color palette enhances the space, and a staircase leads to the upper level.

Family Friendly Beach Apartment Spectacular Views

MelissaRating, 5 stars4 months ago
We had a fantastic stay in this apartment! The views of Fingal Bay were absolutely spectacular, and the short walk to the beach made it even better. We loved having the little grocery store and cafés just downstairs—so convenient. The underground parking and elevator access straight to the second-floor apartment were a huge plus. The large covered balcony was perfect for relaxing, and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed. We also appreciated how peaceful the area was while still being close to amenities. The only minor issue was sometimes the buses will idle at the bus stop near the apartment and if you have your doors open it can be a bit loud. But it’s only a couple of times per day we noticed it. Definitely recommend the apartment.
A modern two-story home is framed by glass panels, revealing a serene outdoor space. An in-ground swimming pool is surrounded by lounge chairs, while vibrant greenery adds a touch of nature. The well-maintained lawn complements the contemporary architecture.

Hidden Oasis Pet Friendly In Anna Bay

CharmilaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had a wonderful stay at the house. The place was clean and tidy - we really liked the updated kitchen and bathroom. The fireplace was a bonus for the chilly nights! We had our dog with us and he really loved the garden to play around in. LJ Hooker was very responsive even on the weekend. It was also conveniently located with a 5 min walk to dog friendly Birubi beac, supermarket and restaurants. Overall we would definitely recommend this place to others.

Annabel's Cottage

SophiaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
My mum, 3 yo daughter and I really enjoyed our girls trip and stay at Annabel’s cottage. The cottage itself was clean, cosy, homely, well equipped and had lots of charm and character. It had everything we needed - from the heaters in each room to keep us warm at night, sachets of porridge for breakfast, we brought our own coffee and cafetière but it was not necessary as they were catered for. We had restful night sleeps in the comfy beds and there was even a rattan basket full of books which kept my little girl entertained. Location was perfect for us and it was 10 mins drive to all the places that we visited. Check in and out was a breeze and I would definitely recommend Annabel’s cottage.

Simon’s place is simply amazing. Not only is a great house, in an amazing spot but It was equipped with everything anyone could ever possibly need. Simon was always available and responsive to any queries, and went the extra mile to find out more about our plans and interests so he could recommend activities or offer additions l help. I have stayed in plenty of Airbnb’s and I must say I think this tops them all, and no doubt I will be back.

She has the makes herself available if there are any issues (we had a tiny issue with the key, which was resolved immediately), but otherwise ensures that she doesn't intrude on your stay. She is very mindful of this.

Lagoons Estate - Your perfect holiday home!

StephanieRating, 5 stars26 months ago
Lovely place. Rene was very helpful especially with late check out which we requested at short notice. No cot was provided for our 4 month old infant even though she was listed on our booking as a guest. Rene did try to source one for us but wasnt able to, so we had to go and buy one from Kmart. We also had to clean the bbq before using it but that was not a big deal. We had a very enjoyable stay overall and would definitely recommend/book again.
