Cosy

We loved the large room and the feeling of being left to ourselves in our private space. We enjoyed the glimpse of the sea through the trees and over the houses. The BBQ was just right for two. Peter and Gaye are the politest hosts.

Marvellous Moana escape!

Peter & Gaye were just wonderful hosts. Property was clean and comfortable as was the view of the ocean from the balcony. Wonderful hosts, they couldn’t do enough for us! Thankyou so much for your hospitality and kindness and of course your darling dog Ziggy made our stay even more enjoyable! 10/10.

Seas the Day indeed!

Perfect escape for a chill-out weekend. Very private and spotlessly clean, the upstairs unit has every convenience you could need to stay for a few days. Close to the coast, with beautifully cool sea breeze and a lovely covered balcony to enjoy it from. Steep stairs, but good exercise. Very comfy bed and good quality linen & towels. The breakfast berries supplied were delicious and a lovely extra touch. Now on my list of places I will return to.

Stay at Moana

The unit was clean with great air conditioning. when we arrived the fridge was stocked with milk butter & Yoghurt &strawberries as well as fresh bred & a large selection of cereals. A selection of novels music & video CD's along with all you needed to know about what was available in the area was on hand. Great stay that I would recommend to anyone some steep stairs but a couple of 60+ handled them alright.

"Seasing" the Day

The accommodation was large and comfortable with many extras included that were amazing for the price. The location was excellent being a short walk to the beautiful beach and close to many outstanding wineries. There were many activities to enjoy like the Eco trail at Gumtree Wines and great eating places like the Blue Cafe. Peter and Gayle were wonderful hosts who obviously cared about the guests enjoying their stay. Thank You both. Ann and John.

Moana accommodation Seas the Day

Excellent experience. The hosts Gaye and Peter had thought of everything. The accommodation they supplied was immaculate and generous in every way. Beautiful linen and comfortable king size bed. Large lounge area and huge bedroom and bathroom. Everything you could ever need while away and more. Perfect location for us to attend a family wedding in Mclarenvale and then meet up with people all over the place before everyone went their separate ways. We also enjoyed a walk along the coast path which was easily accessible from the accommodation. Thanks Gaye and Peter for presenting such a beautiful place to stay while visiting your surrounding area. We loved it and hope to see you again sometime. Best wishes Heather and Alan
