The wood fire was a highlight, and it pumped out the heat! We weren’t cold at any stage. The kitchen was well equipped, the beds very comfortable (with electric blankets), and beautiful ocean views from both bedrooms. The back patio area can be blocked off to stop dogs wandering but the grassed area was unfenced. An easy five minute walk to the beach, and an extra minute over the bridge to the store or pub for dinner. We had such a lovely, relaxing stay…I look forward to another winter break there again. ##### Kristen B. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Julie W.

Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emma C., Melbourne, Australia Sep 28, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A lovely, old style holiday house We stayed at Ken and Maureen's house for a long weekend with our two dogs and loved it. The house has been in Ken's family for 70 years and retains that basic, beach house vibe, but has been updated to be comfortable and cozy. It was a cold, wet weekend and the wood fire kept the whole house warm and it was great to hear the rain on the roof - we didn't use the outdoor spaces. The house overlooks the beach and is a short walk to the beach, shop and pub, and a less easy walk back up the hill, but most of Wye River is steep so that should be expected. Wye River was busy with families with young children and the beach is safe for swimming. Overall, we had a great weekend away. ##### Emma C. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Esther M.
