Jun 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautifully appointed cottage Callistemon was a fantastic find in the Catherine Hill Bay Area. The 3 bedroom cottage is thoughtfully furnished, with touches such as mirrors and luggage racks in the bedrooms, not to mention the beautifully ornate door frame to the bathroom! The living and dining areas are comfortable and well-equipped. The property itself is large and spacious, with plenty of room for any four-legged friends. The hosts were very helpful with any questions we had and they just made the whole process so simple from start to finish. Would highly recommend this property for anyone travelling to this beautiful area of the north coast! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/44b3b61c-78f2-4713-97ff-4bbb41f3fa9e-1748868409333.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jian S.
