This home was great for our family and dog for the week. It had everything we needed and the location was brilliant - walking distance to local shops, coffee and dog friendly beach. The deck was a lovely place to be, especially in the mornings when it caught the autumn sun. The bedrooms and living space were a little on the small side for our family of two teenagers however the price point was really reasonable. Thanks for a great stay!

Great house packed with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Peaceful location and walking distance to the local shops and dog friendly beach which our Rocket absolutely loved! Large balcony to relax on, enjoy the birdlife and breeze (and we were thrilled to see a koala!!). Definitely recommend Paws n Relax-thanks for making our trip so memorable!!

Reviewer Comments:
The property was perfectly located in a quiet street close to beaches, coffee shop and super market. Its a comfortable cottage with a large north facing outdoor area. Pet friendly. Comfortable beds, equipped kitchens and clean bathroom. The only thing i could suggest is a gate above the internal and external stairwells. Property agent was very responsive and helpful

This is a delightful beach themed and lovingly prepared holiday home. My dogs and I were lucky enough to have stayed 6 weeks there. Sun drenched HUGE balcony, three great size bedrooms and modern kitchen. The owners have gone to great effort to think of absolutely anything you could want in the home making it seem very much like your home away from home. Loved our stay and just adored the owners I was lucky enough to meet. Delightful!!! HIGHLY recommended!!!
