A fabulous find. Scrupulously clean, extremely comfortable, had everything we needed to make our stay perfect. The yard and outdoor areas are also very well thought out. Clean shaded decking with comfortable seating. A lovely cubby house with a slide for kiddies, a safe secure yard for our dogs. Five minute walk to beach and cafe, 5 minute drive to main shopping precinct. Highly recommend this property.

Relaxing Getaway

We really loved our stay at Sunset Retreat. Dianne was fantastic in communicating with us and ensuring that everything was set up for our family. The backyard space was definitely a highlight for our 4 year old son. Would highly recommend for couples or families looking to get away for a few days.

Ocean Grove Ocean Stay

We enjoyed our stay in this wonderful property just minutes walk from the beach in Ocean Grove. Everything was clean and tidy inside and out and the kitchen was fully equipped to allow you to eat in if you want. Bedrooms were spacious and it’s a quiet neighbourhood that’s easy to get to. Highly recommended.

Absolutely perfect

Thankyou so much to Dianne for being an excellent host. Such excellent communication. House has been supplied with everything you could ever want. So much to see and all within 30minutes. Was fantastic to have our fur baby come away with us and be able to be in the house with us as well as the huge backyard. Loved the beach being so close. Looking forward to returning and sure will be our regular place to stay.
