About this property

Lanterns - Pet Friendly - Your home by the beach


We have reduced our prices due to the current fuel crisis.

This well-appointed, two storey home is located 300m from the beautiful One Mile Beach and the adventurous Burgess Beach. The rear of the property backs onto a temperate rainforest, creating a wonderful green sense of privacy. The backyard is fully fenced, so we welcome your four-legged, hairy friends. This spacious and sun-filled home is ideal for larger families and groups.

THE SPACE

* 5 bedrooms - UPSTAIRS - Bedroom 1 (King size bed) Bedroom 2 (double bed ) bedroom 3 (King size bed). DOWNSTAIRS - Bedroom 4 (Two single beds) Bedroom 5 (King size bed)
* Two common spaces, one upstairs and one downstairs so that the kids can watch a movie downstairs while the adults relax upstairs!
* Fully equipped kitchen upstairs with all the cooking essentials you will need and a kitchenette​ downstairs. Allows for space separation for two groups or two families to enjoy comfortably
* Wi-fi
* Three TVs
* BBQ
* Three decks for relaxing and entertaining. The upper deck is enclosed with insect screens so its perfect for a summer BBQ or two.
* Outdoor shower
* Fully fenced yard for your dog
* Pets are allowed inside, but not on beds
* The king size beds can also be separated into two singles if needed
* Two beaches 300m away
* Close to shops, cafes​ and supermarkets.

*** Please note that linen and towels are not provided in the fee, but a linen service can be arranged (see additional notes below)

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE:

OUR BEDS

We have 3 king beds, which can be split into 2 singles. This requires the beds to be remade with different base components and doonas and then put back to king format at the end of your stay. To cover this cost we charge $40 per king bed.

BED LINEN & BATH TOWELS

We are trying to keep the booking price down for our guests, so bed linen and towels are not included in the fee, though bath mats, hand towels and tea towels are.

There are three linen options at Lanterns:
1. Bring your own
2. Hire your own
3. Full linen service provided by Lanterns

If you don't wish to bring your own linen and towels, bed linen and towels can be hired from a local, commercial grade linen hire service Kleensweep. They will drop-off​ and pick up as part of the service.

You can organise your linen directly though Kleensweep/Forster Linen Hire. Follow the link to their website - http://www.forsterlinenhire.com.au

Or, if you would like us to provide a full service of linen and bed making, please let us know at your earliest convenience, and we can arrange this for you. The additional charges are:
- for king beds $55
- for single beds $45
- towels $6

The space was excellent for multiple people. Backyard secure for pets and super close to the beach and cafe for morning walks.House was very hot when the temperature got high. Wouldn't recommend in summer. If there was a breeze you could air it out with juggling blinds and opening windows but hard to sleep in hot rooms in the evening.

Great summer holiday base for extended family

We love staying at Brett’s place. It is very child friendly with a big, closed in balcony, two tv areas and kids plates, cups and utensils. We can spread out as an extended family but also get together with a big main lounge. I would definitely recommend staying here if you have a group.

Great Stay for multiple families

Brett's place was great. Exactly as described. Check in was easy and I love the fact that there was the option to bring your own towels and bedding to help reduce the cost of the stay. Plenty of space for everyone and multiple areas meant you didn't feel like you were sitting on top of each other. The driveway is very steep, but we parked on the street, so it didn't affect our stay.

Another great annual visit to Lanterns

Great house for a large group of friends or extended family. Just a little out of town but a nice quiet location. Loved the back deck, beautiful spot to sit out and read a book and a very well-equipped kitchen. Hope to be back again next year!
