Tranquil, relaxed location.

Had a really enjoyable stay with family and friends. The bird life around the property was a highlight. The creek that runs through it is very scenic too. We experienced all four seasons over a long weekend but remained comfortable and relaxed. The pool table is a terrific inclusion.

Great spot for a quiet getaway

I loved this house cause it was away from the busyness from the town but at the same time it was less than a 10 mins drive into town. Location was perfect and it had a big yard at the front for the kids and a basketball ring and other sporting equipment to keep the kids occupied. Seeing the kangaroos every day from our balcony was a huge highlight of our trip. The owner Steve also great with communication.

Great location, comfortable family property

Great stay, with a very helpful host. I was unable to meet family members who flew into Merimbula from the UK but the host even offered to pick them up from the airport if there had been a problem. Great stay, good family property suitable for children.

Relax at Bournda

My sister and I had a lovely week here. It was a good set up for our two dogs with a dog run attached to the house - kept them close at night but still able to attend to business. The surrounds are beautiful and private but so close to Merimbula, Pambula and even Eden. The south end of Merimbula main beach was an excellent place to let the dogs off lead. Steve, the owner was great to deal with and generous. We will be back.

Clean and well maintained property

We had a great week at this spotlessly clean property. Lots of space and different areas to sit so you aren't on top of one another. The rumpus room upstairs is great for relaxing and playing a game of pool.There is plenty of room for the dogs to run about and the owner Steve lives near the property and is lovely to deal with. There are some spectacular beaches to visit. North Tura Beach in Bournda National Park was our favourite. It remains unspoilt, quiet and just stunning and only a 10 minute drive from the house. Beautiful part of the world.

Great place for a family holiday

Nice house on a large property not far from Merimbula, only 5mins away from Tura beach Woolies. Plenty of room for 2 adults and 2 kids. Our kids loved the upstairs lounge room with pool table/Foxtel and all the sports equipment for playing outside. We could have stayed here for a week in the rain and everyone would have been occupied and had their own space. I loved it that we could bring our dog too!
