Xmas getaway

Lovely property, excellent location. Everything you need in a holiday home. We took our dogs as booked it because it came up as pet friendly on site, but dot point in fridge stated no pets, so we were very confused. Had no option but to stay as was Xmas, but be good to either take the listing off dog friendly sites, or remove notice on fridge. We ensured to clean up all traces of dogs before leaving

I had such a lovely time staying at Cockatoo Cabin that I ended up booking another night. My dogs and I found it such a relaxing location and the views (which I hope they do not loose ) was so lovely. Gail was awesome when I had issues with the lock box. The gardens were lovely and a great place for my dogs to be. The room were lovely, I found the bed I slept in the room with ensuite was so comfortable and I like a firmer bed. Having a bath (spa) was so great too and very enjoyable. The location is so close to St Helens. I live in the south of the state and it was so great to have a change in a very quiet location. Only things apart from the lock box, I had issues with were the TV, no instructions at all, and I would have loved to use the coffee machine, looked amazing but again no information on how to use it. I was a bit sad there was no milk even a few UHT milks to make a hot drink on arrival. So not big issues, and I could live without understanding the tv set up. ( I know it says get provisions in St Helens, but I just and wanted to get there unload rest and then decide on provisions. I guess a solo traveller is different to a group or family. Loved it would love to stay again.

Stay Off-Season

Very relaxed, great location, multiple decks to make the most of the views. Comfortably furnished. Bit worried about what may be built in front? Only one suggestion. Fully secure the road side fence so guests and dogs can enjoy the whole garden which must be magnificent in Spring/Summer.

Awesome trip. Really impressed with the house. Ocean and lagoon views from the open lounge/kitchen area and most of all loved the deck for unwinding of an evening. We were fortunate to spot a pod of dolphins off Cozy Corner through our binoculars whilst enjoying a wine one night! Our dog was in heaven in the large and secure backyard. Huge driveway was great for securely parking our boat. You could easily park 4 cars off the street if holidaying with family. Beach, lagoon and cafe are all a very short walk. Will be back again!

basic but immaculate

The house is a masterpiece of 80's decor: salmon pink paint, coloured slate floors (& shower walls!), pine, pine, pine, grungy carpet, old blankets and flimsy non-noise-proof doors... but to be fair, the linen was good and the garden is gorgeous (would be great for little kids and is well contained with lots of covered verandah so really good for a dog too). Whoever does the cleaning is OCD - the place was immaculate, which is not easy with old decor. You can see the beach but the view is obstructed by a fibro house. The position is pretty good, directly up behind the only cafe/restaurant and walking distance to beach (up a reasonable hill!). We paid $620 for 2 nights on a long weekend, which included a compulsory $90 cleaning fee, a $60 child fee and a $50 dog fee! I think this is expensive for the house and have had better value in Binalong Bay paying the same amount for a place with spritzy new bathrooms and an amazing view...having said that, we couldn't take the dog.
