Everything was great. The house had everything we needed and was in a great location with a beautiful view. The pool was the highlight even with mild weather we got plenty of use of the pool as it is heated.

The house is amazing has so many useful amenities and toys for the kids along with plenty of equipment to use at the beach. The pool was a standout, so clean, warm and a great size. The fire pit was a nice way to finish the day with all you need provided. Kylie was a great host and very responsive. Kids bunk room is perfect for a family holiday. We can’t wait to stay again!

Amazing place and awesome host! Truly one of the best properties and hosts I've experienced. Everything we needed was there - the place was super equipped with heaps of amenities. Host was super welcoming and always ready to help out. Loads of stuff for the kids and adults to do while we were there, so it was perfect for spending time as a family without having to leave the property.

The pool is clean with heater system. The kids enjoyed a lot. Moreover, the facilities was good, suitable for big family. The location is near the beach but quite far from the city. In conclusion, I would recommend this place for big family.

About the host

Hosted by Kylie

Host profile image
We’re locals who love creating spaces that bring people together.

With a background in design and a love of travel, we’ve shaped this home to feel relaxed, welcoming, and easy to enjoy — the kind of place where you can settle in quickly and make the most of your time away.

Hosting gives us the chance to share a part of this special area with others, and we genuinely enjoy helping guests have a memorable stay.

Why they chose this property

We chose this home for its warmth, its outlook, and the sense of community that surrounds it.

South Arm has a quiet, coastal feel that’s becoming harder to find — safe beaches, friendly locals, and a slower pace that makes it easy to switch off.

In summer, the community comes alive with local markets on the first Sunday of each month, while in winter it becomes a peaceful retreat where the landscape and coastline really shine.

What makes this property unique

What we love most is how naturally the house brings people together — while still giving everyone space.

Kids can spend their days exploring the foreshore, discovering rock pools, fishing off the rocks, playing basketball, or jumping on the oversized trampoline.

Inside, there’s space to relax, play games, or unwind in the bunk room — a favourite spot for kids to gather.

Evenings are spent around the firepit, toasting marshmallows, sharing stories, and enjoying the peaceful surroundings.

It’s a place where guests can switch off, reconnect, and enjoy simple, memorable moments.
