Pleasant dog-friendly quaint little cottage. Enjoyed the stay with our 2 dogs who were able to roam outside in the fully enclosed small yard and a few mins easy walk from the beautiful beach. We all loved it!
We just wanted a short holiday by the beach with the grandkids and dog...and it was awsome...we all had a wonderful time..The hosts were just lovely and the communication was great and punctual....Thankyou John and Irene for sharing your home....

Thank you so much for your great review Julie. We always appreciate positive feedback. Irene & I are so pleased you all enjoyed your short stay
Hosts were very helpful and accommodating when I needed to change the dates and were respectful of my privacy at the property as they live next door but were available if needed. I really enjoyed my stay here. Great garden for my dog and place isn't huge but great for a couple or single person. Beach very close.
Lovely to be able to bring our dog, it was a lovely space for us to stay and hang out with him. Close to walk to stunning beach with white sand a clear water. Watched the sun set every night, and swam every day. Great spot for a holiday.
We have such a wonderful time at Carrickalinga Getaway! All amenities are great and the hosts, John and Irene all, are lovely and were especially welcoming to our two young children.
Wonderful hosts, very welcoming.Space was extremely clean.Very happy.

Thank you for your review Jamie.
We always appreciate feedback as we do strive to provide clean, comfortable, affordable accommodation . So pleased you enjoyed your stay
Carrackalinga Getaway is a great, comfortable location for the two of us and our small border collie. Just the right size for a couple to relax, walk to the beach and explore the local area. Appreciated the communication from Irene and John, particularly John checking from next door to ensure everything was satisfactory.Only basic essentials supplied which helps the excellent value for money of the accommodation. Be aware that the bedroom and bathroom are upstairs. Thanks Irene and John.
Very clean, cosy and close to local beaches and attractions. Our host was a great communicator and very attentive.
