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.

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.
