This was a lovely home and a home away from home with everything you could possibly need, and on top of that, a wonderful location and close to the beach where you could hear the waves. This house ticked all the boxes for comfort and relaxation for my family and the fur babies, and we will definitely be back!!
Our 3rd (maybe 4th) stay at the Beach Retreat. Best location in Pottsville by far and everything you need for a fantastic vacation for your family and pets.Thanks Anneke
Beautiful holiday home right on the water. This is the 3rd time I have stayed here and will no doubt stay again in the future! Facilities are excellent & everything is well thought out. Owner is very thoughtful which makes the stay very comfortable. Back deck a highlight and perfect for enjoying relaxed meals with family/friends. Location is the best with local pub across the road and main town centre a 5 minute drive away. Owner even supplies bike if you'd rather ride there! Just the best house for rest and relaxation!
We had such a fabulous time! Loved the water access and our pup loved the dog beach. Tried stand up paddle boarding for the first time! Thanks so much for such a great stay.
For a rainy weekend, Pottsville is a lovely place to stay. quiet and relaxed. not too many ppl about which made it felt extra special. its hard to find places not infiltrated and overun by tourists these days. so finding a gem is a dream. Thank you for allowing us into your home. it was perfect, very homely and comfortable. kids had the best time there and were well entertained by all the toys and games available. adults enjoyed bike riding, fishhing, and going on a couple of runs around. will be back hopefully when its sunny.
What can I say. If your looking for peace and serenity by the water this is the property to stay at. My family had such a beautiful stay. The host had everything there we needed to truly just enjoy our holiday :)
We loved our time at Pottsville Beach Retreat! The house is in a great location, right on the water, close to town and shops. The house was awesome, great kitchen and living areas, excellent aircon, and relaxing deck space overlooking the water. Everything was provided- paddle boards, kayaks, bikes, big TV and board games. The kids and us parents loved it, only wish we could have stayed longer! Thank you so much to our host, we’d love to come back!
Huge house set on creek. Dogs loved a morning run out the back. Would be great for a short break, unfortunately I was there to help a friend move house. Pipit Restaurant in Main Street is one of the best eateries I experienced.

Sorry about the weather but glad to hear that you will be back. Thank you
Everything was just top notch, best quality but we came after the cyclone so there was a lot of vegetation down. Only problem I had was the TV in the bedroom.....couldn't get it to work??
We had a lovely two nights in Pottsville. The house was spotless and everything you could think of was provided. The location is excellent, I think we went to the shops across the road at least 6 times. My husband enjoyed fishing & caught 5 fish. We had fun taking the two dogs for a walk to the beach which was only about 5 minutes walk. The woodburner was an added bonus & it made the house cozy in a short time.

Great position,loved that it was pet friendly. The house itself needed a bit of TL C
We arrived to overflowing maggot infested garbage bins and had nowhere to
Put our own rubbish during our stay. We loved our holiday, we loved its location but felt a little disappointed by the house’s state of disrepair considering the money we paid to stay there

Hi Don,
Thank you for your review. I am sorry about the overflowing bin issue, that is not good to hear & not a pleasant experience for yourself. At the end of January we closed the house to bookings to take care of some of those TLC issues. Thank you, we hope to see you back. Anneke.
What a great location for a gathering for family or friends. The owners of this property have thought of everything. Fully equiped kitchen and bikes, rip stick, canoes, stand-up paddle boards & games for the kids. Fabulous outlook and great spot to keep your tinnie. We caught a great feed of Brim & an impressive Flathead just in front of the house. We are coming home to buy a new bed for us as we enjoyed the comfort of Pottsville Beach Retreat so much! Thanks Anneke. We enjoyed our stay very much!

Beautiful view and spacious house But...
Be careful where you sleep, sit and shower. There is a Lounge chair broken, second queen bed has no support under the mattress and groans loudly when you move. One shower unusable and other sometimes stays above head height. The what to do book is outdated on many items and gives the renter a stern reminder that the lovely grass between the deck and water is a public walkway, dogs must be on the lead and the ranger comes and checks...the only place for our dogs is on the deck as the small enclosed front yard has an unsecured gate that blows open in the wind even with a brick (supplied) in front. Plus the smell from the overflowing bins that greeted us was not a good beginning. The bathroom taps leak, there is lots of dust inside the house, louvred are broken or stiff, there was sand all over the chairs outside and the list goes on. It is a beautiful space...in need of regular maintenance and regular checks from the owner. Whilst I appreciate it’s an ongoing task maybe the house needs to be blocked as unavailable a few times a year? Some of these issues are obviously not new as they have either been mentioned or alluded to in the visitors book.

Hi Toni,
I thank you for bringing some of these items to my attention & I am sorry that you feel you had an uncomfortable stay. We take great pride in our home & aim to address issues as quickly as possible. Unfortunately though some things do happen while guests are staying in the home, like the loose shower heads. Both of them seemed to want to fail at once & these have both since been fixed. A previous guest did slightly break the back of one section of the U shape lounge but as it does not effect the comfort of the lounge itself we have left this as is. Thank you for pointing out the groaning bed, this has been tightened & no longer groans. I apologise about the overflowing bins. This can be an issue if the bins have not been put out each weekend. We usually rely on the weekend guests to put the bins out for collection but it appears this did not happen & you were greeted by it during your midweek stay. I have actually bought new inside Ecobins to help seperate the rubbish so that the rubbish can be put in the correct coloured bin in the hope that this will help the overflowing issue. The front gate latch has been replaced & can no longer open in the wind. Thank you again, if we aren't told about the issues then we can't fix them. We look forward to seeing you again at some stage.
We loved this property. It was very clean and had everything we needed. The fire place was amazing and heated the entire house up. We will definitely stay again!!
