Sep 5, 2024 #### Arakoon Escape Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved it, huge house nestled in the bush, fire place,very modern ##### Grant P. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tony Nov 28, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Beautiful everything is perfect - the house is a DREAM absolutely stunning, has everything you need. The kitchen is a cooks paradise. Whole house is styled and designed so thoughtfully. Located in the most convenient area, 2 min drive to anywhere in SWR/Arakoon. House surrounded by stunning trees home to beautiful birds which will sing all morning and afternoon long.The only negative to mention is that fans are the only means of cooling the house and none of them worked. The living area fans only worked at the lowest speed and the bedroom fans did not work at all. Luckily the house has lots of doors and windows with fly screens so if there is a breeze this helps but otherwise it’s a bit stuffy, especially in the bedrooms as the windows don’t open far. The owners should look at fixing this asap as we saw an old review mention the same thing. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2f74da58-09ce-48d8-bd86-4c59098e0d81-1764366824571.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0474b5e6-569e-4172-8e76-a76ebe83c71d-1764366824629.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Tony Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### A guest from blackheath, NSW Jun 17, 2023 #### Surprisingly good Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Bella from Elders was great.The house and location were also great. The bed arrangements, and a single toilet at the bedroom end of the house mightn't work for some, but was fine for us. The living space is excellent, thank you.Issues: The entry path/board walk is encroached on by the the vegetation. We got wet from it, along with getting leeches.Spare blankets would have been appreciated for the cooler nights. There was just the doonas on the beds.If you are going to provide linen, you need to provide some tea towels please.There are no "real" bread & and butter plates, only bendy plastic ones. Real would be nice thanks.The service charge on top of the rent is substantial and hard to fathom. We thought that routine cleaning and admin cost should have been included in the tariff. (I appreciate that linen was supplied, but we had packed our own, and it would seem that wasn't an option)It was still a wonderful stay, thanks. ##### A guest from blackheath, NSW ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Victoria's at Ewingsdale Byron Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Byron-Bay-Hotels-Victorias-At-Ewingsdale-Byron-Bay.h4517022.Hotel-Information) > > [Forster Motor Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Forster-Hotels-Forster-Motor-Inn.h6944640.Hotel-Information) > > [Century Motor Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Finley-Hotels-Century-Motor-Inn.h18743055.Hotel-Information) > > [Nowra Motor Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Nowra-Hotels-Nowra-Motor-Inn.h9240827.Hotel-Information) > > [Quirindi Sunflower Motor Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Quirindi-Hotels-Quirindi-Sunflower-Motor-Inn.h37623578.Hotel-Information) > > [Cove Studios](https://www.expedia.ca/Byron-Bay-Hotels-Cove-Studios.h4245615.Hotel-Information) > > [The Abbey Motel Goulburn](https://www.expedia.ca/Goulburn-Hotels-The-Abbey-Motel-Goulburn.h46155424.Hotel-Information) > > [Dubbo Rhino Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Dubbo-Hotels-Dubbo-Rhino-Lodge.h37830304.Hotel-Information) > > [Bay Haven Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Byron-Bay-Hotels-Bay-Haven-Lodge.h2616623.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lord Byron](https://www.expedia.ca/Byron-Bay-Hotels-The-Lord-Byron.h2646995.Hotel-Information) > > [Casa Blu – steps from Culburra Beach's blue waters](https://www.expedia.ca/Culburra-Beach-Hotels-Casa-Blu-Stay5-Pay-4.h112236304.Hotel-Information) > > [The Golfers Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Tenterfield-Hotels-The-Golfers-Inn.h70363640.Hotel-Information) > > [Bay and Basin](https://www.expedia.ca/Jervis-Bay-Hotels-Bay-And-Basin.h19287179.Hotel-Information) > > [Nelson Bay Breeze Holiday Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Nelson-Bay-Hotels-Nelson-Bay-Breeze-Holiday-Apartments.h3956833.Hotel-Information) > > [Motel Echo Point](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Echo-Point-Discovery-Motel.h4967081.Hotel-Information) > > [Terrigal Pacific Coastal Retreat](https://www.expedia.ca/Terrigal-Hotels-Terrigal-Pacific-Coastal-Retreat.h8126130.Hotel-Information) > > [Kings and Queens Paterson](https://www.expedia.ca/Paterson-Hotels-CBC-Bed-Breakfast-Cafe.h15677357.Hotel-Information) > > [Aquarius Backpacker Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Byron-Bay-Hotels-Aquarius-Backpacker-Resort.h18171655.Hotel-Information) > > [Reflections Seal Rocks - Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Seal-Rocks-Hotels-Reflections-Holiday-Parks-Seal-Rocks.h7250099.Hotel-Information) > > [Bella Villa Motor Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Forster-Hotels-Bella-Villa-Motor-Inn.h3941292.Hotel-Information) > > [Byron Quarter Holiday Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Byron-Bay-Hotels-Byron-Quarter-Holiday-Apartments.h2646899.Hotel-Information) > > [Gateway Lifestyle Birubi Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Anna-Bay-Hotels-Gateway-Lifestyle-Birubi-Beach.h3971799.Hotel-Information) > > [Drifter Byron Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Byron-Bay-Hotels-Drifter-Byron-Bay.h73063088.Hotel-Information) > > [A line Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Griffith-Hotels-A-Line-Motel.h3941352.Hotel-Information) > > [Quest Goulburn](https://www.expedia.ca/Goulburn-Hotels-Quest-Goulburn.h38890159.Hotel-Information) > > [Port Stephens Koala Sanctuary](https://www.expedia.ca/One-Mile-Hotels-Port-Stephens-Koala-Sanctuary.h10983411.Hotel-Information) > > [Buccaneer Motel Pet friendly](https://www.expedia.ca/Long-Jetty-Hotels-Buccaneer-Motel-Pet-Friendly.h3956828.Hotel-Information) > > [Metropole Katoomba](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Metropole-Katoomba.h3595421.Hotel-Information) > > [The Phoenix Artesian Spa Resort and Accommodation](https://www.expedia.ca/Moree-Hotels-Dragon-Phoenix-Motel-Restaurant.h24775.Hotel-Information)
