Mar 21, 2020 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Beautiful location, ordinary accommodation This property is all about its riverfront location, which makes for an excellent, relaxing stay. The enclosure for pets is great too. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about the condition of the shack and its contents (shower door is broken, TV picture is distorted, BBQ is not working properly, cleanliness is generally poor, lots of empty CD cases that should just be thrown away rather than disappointing guests). For the amount of money charged you don't even get linen included, so all in all a bit disappointing... The kitchen is good though. ##### Marc R. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2020 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### shannon h. Sep 17, 2020 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Beautiful location but had a few let downs. Had a great time away with my partner and 1 year old son. The location is beautiful with an ocean/river view. Property was abit hard to find hidden away with a small drive way. Few let downs with the TV cracked in the corner could watch the tv but had black through the picture, shower door was broken and there were dirty dishes found in the oven (considering there's a cleaning fee would expect to rock up to a clean property when arrive). The stairs are very steep and small with no light for nighttime to watch where your going. I wouldn't suggest staying here if you have young ones because of the stairs inside and outside the property. ##### shannon h. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2020 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Liz O. Feb 14, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Hidden Gem What a view! Superb location only a couple of minutes walk to the beach with a beautiful view to the ocean and gorgeous sunsets. Very well equipped kitchen, the owners have thought of everything. Bed is comfy, A/C very quiet and efficient and overall it is very cosy and comfortable. Always on the hunt for pet friendly places and this may now be our favourite place in Carrickalinga! Thank you to Sandy the owner for the chocolates and wine she left after we were unable to use the downstairs bedroom due to water damage. We definitely hope to be back! ##### Liz O. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2020 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Patricia H. Jan 17, 2020 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### More honesty Stayed Dec 29 to Jan 3 and enjoyed the view from the front lounge and proximity to beach. The rooms were as depicted in the photos on site. However.. None of the photos showed the internal or external stairs. There was a reason for that. They are beyond being inconvenient.. The internal stairs would not be compliant with any known code in terms of steepness, narrowness and absence of light. The external stairs have no handrail, are steep and have a very high riser. This causes issues in moving around the property especially at night. A bit more honesty for this price would be the decent approach. ##### Patricia H.

As soon as you arrive you notice an uninterrupted view across the river to the ocean. The home is tastefully and thoughtfully appointed with everything you need including reliable internet and coffee machine. I have stayed in both summer and winter and it it is a lovely haven in all seasons. It is so private you can dress how you like or not! ##### Steph Archival ### 8/10 Good #### Anonymous s. Jan 12, 2017 #### We loved this place! This is an unpretentious older style beach house, but the uninterrupted view over the estuary sand dunes to the beach is fantastic, and the house is well maintained and wonderfully well equipped with a plentiful supply of crockery, cutlery, glassware, coffee machine etc, good internet, everything you need. Close to lovely beach. ##### Anonymous s. Archival ### 8/10 Good #### Mara Nov 23, 2016 #### Peaceful, perfect position , lovely views Spotless, excellent facilities.Very comfortable .
