Great house for families especially grandparents and younger families - easy to get away from each other. Well appointed.
Excellent position - walking distance to 2 beaches and a rock pool.
Charming fishing village, undeveloped.
Highly recommended all round.

Geckos - You MUST go!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this well appointed and well positioned home away from home. We have finally found a place that will accommodate our 4 children, their husbands and our elderly parents in comfort. No mean feat! The beach is safe, the walks are glorious, the boat ramp is readily accessible and all within easy walking distance of Geckos. The owners are kind, helpful and provide well for their guests. We will be back for sure. Thank you so much for your hospitality. Jules and Rich

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Geckos Rest. The house is well located in Currarong with great views from the deck. It is well designed with large bedrooms and living areas so plenty of room for a group. The beds are comfy and there is enough storage space in the bedrooms that you could easily have a longer stay.The kitchen is really well equipped so easy to prepare meals. We enjoyed just hanging out on the deck. There are lots of games and books for guests use and we had a lot of laughs with a couple of the games. Currarong is a delightful place. Apart from the beaches be sure to check out the bush walks on the peninsula, barefoot bowls at the bowling club and have at least one fish and chips from the cafe.
The owners were helpful, happy to answer questions and easy to deal with from start to finish. We would highly recommend Geckos Rest.

Gecko's rest was a fantastic holiday house. Lovely, but not filled with breakable things which can make a family holiday with smallish kids less than relaxing! It is a comfortable, spacious and well presented house with a great kitchen and gorgeous balcony for dinners and general lazing about.
We thoroughly recommend it.

Our extended family all fitted into the Geckos rest with room to spare. There was ample living space, the bedrooms are all generous and the two large bathrooms were a major plus! The kitchen is particularly well equipped and we never ran out of cups or glasses - it has absolutely everything you could possibly need for a large group.

What a truly magic place! We plan to return to Geckos Rest many many times.... it has all the ingredients for the perfect holiday retreat - terrific location, comfy beds, great kitchen and outdoor eating, spacious living areas to lounge around and read the paper with gorgeous views to the ocean. Hubby is happy with being able to wheel his kayak straight down to the water - now that's livin'.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. What a fantastic place to stay, relax and explore. Your house is so well appointed we wanted for nothing, parents, grandparents and small children are all amply catered for. If this wasn't enough, Currarong and surrounds must be seen to be believed - beautiful beaches, abundant wildlife and spectacular coves and headlands. Thank you!!!

Gecko's rest was the perfect retreat for a house with kids. We went away for our daughters second birthday and she absolutely loved being in a new place. The house was so well equipped with all the baby gear as we also had a 5 month old which makes the packing up so much easier. I really enjoyed the well stocked kitchen and made making birthday cakes a real treat. The best part for me was the enormous balcony - that was very safe - but great for big groups and easy bbq dinners. The surrrounding beaches were fantastic for spotting fish, crabs and lots of wildlife, watching the pelicans feeding - which made it a great and safe place for the littlies. We would certainly recommend Gecko's rest, not only for the fantastic house with excellent and stylish facillities but also for the fabulous location and ease of holiday. We look forward to more good times there!

We enjoyed four wonderful nights at Gecko's Rest as a family of six adults, two children a todler and a baby to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. Our two eldest grandaughters really loved their bedroom with the tractor cushions and wanted to stay, "for ever and ever." Our son was especially impressed with the cleanliness of the place and we all all enjoyed having plenty of room to spread out in such a well appointed holiday home as well spend time together.

The house was roomy, well appointed and great value for a large group. Ideal for families , particularly if the kids love to have a hit of tennis a stones throw away (can watch them from the back verandah).Easy walk to shop and beach. Peaceful neighbourhood and wonderful sunrise to sunset views. Exceeded our expectations.

What an amazing place to stay - a really beautiful home fully equipped and no expense spared. A great spot for a group of people to enjoy some time away with plenty of internal space and three separate outdoor entertaining areas. A great beach and the rockpool is ideal for kids. Highly recommended.

As my kids would say with a big broad smile on their faces "Gecko's Rest is the best". A wonderful holiday house that compliments a great location. The beaches & township set amongst the National Park provides a great holiday charm. You can be active or just relax somewhere special.

The South Coast may not be the obvious choice for a winter break but with its log fire and cosy furnishings Gecko's Rest makes an excellent retreat even in the cooler months. Currarong is also a very convenient location to meet up with friends coming from either Sydney or Canberra. The kitchen is very well equipped so even the most adventurous cook can show off his/her skills. With spacious bathrooms on both floors there are no awkward queues in the morning even with 6 adults staying there. The enormous deck on the first floor is fabulous for outdoor dining with great views of the coast and anyone brave enough to play on the tennis courts below. There's a good selection of board games, CDs and books about the area so plenty to keep you entertained when the sun goes down. We had a great time and would definitely recommend Gecko's Rest even in the "off peak" season.

A wonderful retreat from our hectic life in Sydney. As soon as I walked in I felt very relaxed and at home. Great amenities and such a peaceful location and a beautiful beach that never gets too crowded. We will definitely go back.

What a wonderful place to spend a relaxing holiday!
The house is beautifully decorated and furnished. It is really comfortable and well equiped, it also has a designer wetroom and gorgeous wooden flooring. The views of the ocean are outstanding from the terrace, perfect for watching the sun set with a glass of wine. We found it was a superb destination for a young family as there are lovely walks, safe rock pools practically on the door step and the tennis courts are just next door. We'll certainly come again!!!

A wonderful retreat for all the family and all ages, recently renovated to a high specification.The house is stylish spacious and well equipped, much consideration given to make it an all year round venue and home away from home. It is situated in is an outstanding location,the greensward approach to the rock pool and beach is a delight.Is close to the shops and the tennis courts, the headland and its beaches walking distance away. Would highly recommend the house and location to any family that wants a holiday to remember [ten out of ten]

Superb position. Luxurious without being over the top. Kitchen is well appointed for home cooking. Fantastic for multi-generational families with 2 living areas and 2 bathrooms. We went with 2 grandparents, 2 parents and 5 and 2 year old and it worked very well. Have already booked for next year!

Amazing.... What a beautiful house. Top of the line inside and out. Location is one of NSW best kept secrets and only 3 hours from Sydney!!! Highly recommended for couples, familys, groups - Anyone! 5 star accomodation in one of the most pristine beachside locations around. Only thing missing is the truckloads of tourists - Which I can happily live without. A real gem.
