About Miriam Jerrems
My family and I have enjoyed this house for many years and we enjoyed school holidays here for many years. As the children are now adults, we spend less time and decided to share it with others so that they too can enjoy the delights of Tuross Head. Tuross Head is a special place for us and I feel a sense of relaxation on arrival here. The house is a beach house and does not have all the latest and greatest amenities but we like it that way. It is a summer fun house.
Miriam Jerrems purchased this House in 1982
Why Miriam Jerrems chose Tuross Head
It is affordable, spacious and not far from the beach. My mother purchased this house because it was solid with timber floors, had beautiful views and was on the high side of the street. She bought it so family members could come together and have holidays at the beach. The closeness of the golf course was also an appealing factor.
What makes this House unique
The main thing that have made us fall in love with this place are the lovely views, (now partly obscured by trees) and the proximity to the beach. (a five minute drive or 15 minute walk). As I am a walker, I enjoy the morning walk circumnavigating Tuross, taking in the views and getting good exercise climbing back up the hill. It take an hour walking briskly.

Notes
- The original Tuross homestead is located in Coral Crescent. Mountain View is on the corner of Hector McWilliam Drive and Glen St. Glen St becomes Coral Crescent when you turn the corner to go up the hill. Tuross House was built in the 1870s. The original Norfolk pine tree is located next to the homestead to the left. Hector McWilliam used seeds from that tree to grow all the other trees in Tuross. There is a cairn to commemorate him half way down Allenby Road under some Norfolk pines in a circle on the right.

Thank you Peter for staying at Mountain View. I am glad you enjoyed the sea breeze which is a great relief from the heat of summer. It was a pleasure to have you stay.

Good location and comfy place.
Enjoyed the short stay. Relaxing!
Thank you Royal for sending your review. I am so glad you enjoyed it as much as we do. You are most welcome to have a return visit.
Good value and clean, but beware: you must follow their extensive instructions perfectly
Good value and clean, but beware: you must follow their extensive instructions perfectly or risk your damage deposit being withheld. Also- absolutely no linens are included except for 1 dish towel. You will need to pack bath towels, dish towels, tea towels and even sheets and pillow cases for the bed. You have to bring everything... This explains the affordable rate.
Dear Sheldon
Thank you very much for making the effort to review Mountain View. I am sorry that the lack of linen and towels caused you some inconvenience. As you noted, this explains the affordable rate. However, this is clearly stated in the notes on the website and it is always mentioned in my first response to a booking inquiry.
My aim is to provide budget accommodation for families to enjoy the environment and activities that Tuross Head offers in the way that my family has done for many years.
Best wishes
Kind regards
