The grassy knoll behind the beach is perfect for picnics. At the southern end of the beach there is a large natural rock pool, called the Bogey Hole. The shallow tidal pool is great for swimming and snorkelling.

We are very happy to hear you would come back again and we look forward to hosting you for your next south coast holiday.
I hope you have a lovely day.
Warm regards,

The property was lovely, beautiful views across to the sea, and a lovely garden. My daughter and her bridesmaids got ready for the big day and there was lots of room. The beds were very comfortable upstairs, we had no need for downstairs rooms. Would love to stay again.

The Secret Garden (backing onto the Princes highway)
First advice I would give is to not book this property via Stayz or any similar website. We would have saved $161 if we had just booked directly through Bella Coastal Property instead of through Stayz for our 2 night stay. Find what you want on Stayz, then book direct with the real estate agent to avoid ridiculous Stayz fees.
The house is located roughly 900m from the beach and the backyard actually backs onto the Princes Highway. From the backyard there is quite a bit of traffic noise, however it is barely noticeable from inside the house. It would not be realistic to walk to the beach from this house if you have kids and/or any gear to carry, as the house is on a reasonably high hill. Be prepared to drive everywhere.
The house itself felt spacious and was clean (as you would expect for over $1000 for 2 nights!). What we didn't expect was that we would still need to bring our own sheets and pillow cases, towels etc. at this price point.
It was disappointing that the bbq igniter did not work as we were looking forward to having a bbq on the deck. We gave up on the first night and later found a note in the guest documents stating that this was the case and to lift the grill plates up and light the burners that way. When we lifted the grill and saw how filthy it was under there, we changed our minds on having a bbq.
On the plus side, there are distant water views and lots of bird life. Rainbow lorikeets could be fed by hand from the deck upstairs. Relaxing on the deck is probably the nicest thing about the house. The sunrise from the deck is lovely.
The garden is also beautiful to walk around.

Spacious home, great for families and friends.for a weekend.
Very happy with the space for a group. The inside was clean, but the outside was very dirty, we needed to sweep the decks, clean the tables and chairs, get rid of cobwebs everywhere, clean the outside lounge and even clean some windows so we could see the view. The 4th bedroom was an open area with no doors for privacy, no linen was supplied, and the bed protectors etc all needed washing. We loved the house to stay in and would recommend it, BUT why are we charged a cleaning fee if the whole house is not cleaned??

Spacious house with lots of room for entertaining
A nice house with plenty of space for a group of people. Would be great for people with kids. The large DVD collection was great along with the well stocked book stand. The large deck was great, and the outdoor couch was super comfy for an afternoon nap. The house
itself was clean and tidy however the BBQ was disgusting and covered in mould, was easier to cook inside than even attempt to clean the BBQ. The downstairs bedroom smelt foul, and was unpleasant to sleep in. There was no mention of a bond on the stayz listing but was called 2 days prior to pay a $500 bond, it would have been nice to have had this information prior to booking.
We enjoyed our overall stay and the garden was beautiful.
The downstairs bathroom had a funky smell which wasn’t pleasant and we didn’t use it for that reason

Lovely spacious house with a gorgeous garden. Close to the beach, very well appointed, however, if you like a good set of sharp knives and a decent size bread board, take your own!

Great house and location. The birdlife and surroundings are gorgeous. Slight issue with the noise from the highway traffic but apart from that it was a lovely house and close to beach and amenities.

I was extremely impressed with all aspects of the property as well as the communication process with the property manager. The house was easy to access and had plenty of space. I would definitely recommend 'The Secret Garden' to anyone who is considering on going away down the coast.

Very well maintained property, beautiful garden, lots of space for 6 of us. Would definitely stay here again.
The only downside is the design of the streets means the property takes a little time to get to off the main road. Even though the main road boarders the back of the property.
