Was amazing to have a pool available, as it got a little too hot upstairs. The beach is so close and great for younger children, easy to access. Loved our stay. Thankyou

Thank you for choosing to celebrate your anniversary with us, Kerry! We're delighted to hear that you and your family had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the pool and beautiful beach. We hope to welcome you again for another memorable getaway!
The house was clean and large. We enjoyed our stay and the children loved the little playground in the back and the pool. The area was quiet and a very short stroll to the beach. Great place to stay with family and friends.

We also appreciate your helpful tip for future guests regarding the nearby shops. It’s great to know that the IGA and bakery were convenient, and we'll be sure to share that information with others. We hope to welcome you back soon!
Great home in a wonderful location. Easy walk to the beach and barista coffee up the road. Nice spacious backyard, we loved the pool! Did get very hot on the balcony upsatirs though, some extra shade would've been good to utilise this space more. Communication with hosts was easy which was appreciated.

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! We're so glad to hear you enjoyed the location, backyard, and pool. It’s a great spot for relaxing and making the most of Callala Beach. We appreciate your note about the balcony shade, and we’ll certainly take that on board for future improvements. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back again soon!
Callala Beach is a lovely area for families. It’s quiet, child friendly and the beach is perfect for small children. Drifters is well set out for a large family, with a big living area and two rooms with bunk beds downstairs and a second living area, kitchen and three separate bedrooms upstairs. We really enjoyed our stay and would come back again.

Thank you for choosing to stay, and for leaving us a review. We’re pleased you enjoyed your stay, and hope we see you on another holiday with us soon.
We had a wonderful week staying at the house. I live interstate so it was nice to have my sisters and nieces under one roof.
The property was clean, kitchen well equipped and furnished perfectly for a family holiday.
We loved sitting on the back deck, the kids enjoyed the swings and braved the pool!
Highly recommend this property.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
Nice large property, suitable for a big family weekend away. Great location - minutes to the beach and nice pizza restaurant nearby. Cleanliness and maintenance of the property are significant areas for improvement - multiple cockroaches at our time of stay (both dead and alive), and difficult to lock front door and windows. Pool net was broken so pool was also covered in leaves.

Thank you for your review. We’re glad you enjoyed the property's size and its great location. We’re sorry to hear about the issues you experienced. We didn’t receive any message during your stay; otherwise, we would have been happy to assist right away.
The pool was fully cleaned, and a new scoop was placed before your arrival, but strong winds over the weekend caused leaves to fall in again. The cleaner also completed a spring clean before this, though we’ll follow up to ensure standards are maintained. For the windows, the property uses security screens and manual locking sticks, but we’ll recheck everything for ease of use.
We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back for a smoother stay.
Very nice and clean property. The owner has provided all the amenities. The swimming pool was so clean but we couldn't get in the water because of cold weather. Want to come again in this property in future.

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re really glad you had such an enjoyable stay at Drifters Callala Beach. It’s great to hear you made the most of the location and those beach walks - definitely one of the best parts of staying there.
We’re also happy the house and pool worked well for your group and gave everyone space to relax and spend time together. Thanks as well for mentioning the cleanliness and communication, we really appreciate it.
We’d love to have you back anytime! 😊
House was lovely and big, plenty of room to spread out. Backed onto bushland which was lovely. The house was well stocked with everything we needed. Good flat walk to the beach. The pool in the yard was lovely and clean which we enjoyed, just a bit tricky getting in and out with no rails.

BEAUTIFUL PROPERTY
The property satisfied all our holiday beach house expectations.
It was a cold and rainy weekend but the fireplace kept us warm and jolly.
We didn't venture out of the house much except to go to the beach because we were just happy to stay in the house - rest, relax, eat and enjoy good company.
WE ARE GOING BACK!

Hi Maria, Clare & I love to come down in winter as well, often warming up in front of the fire after taking our dog Meeka for a walk on the beach! We love that the house meet & exceeded your expectations & hope that you will be back down this way again soon! Geoff
We enjoyed our stay thoroughly. The swimming pool was a big hit and we all had a great time. Location is excellent as very close to the beach (walking distance). It would be a bonus to add aircon, a tv upstairs and some outdoor furniture for the pergola downstairs. Other than that the house has plenty of space for everyone and the kitchen is well equipped too!
Thank you for your hospitality Geoff and Roxii!

Thank you so much for staying with us and leaving us a review, we appreciate your suggestions as well:)
We’re so glad you enjoyed the sun, surf, and sand during your stay. Looking forward to welcoming you back next time.
A lovely family friendly pet friendly home. The house had lots of fans but was quite hot in the house on really warm days. We will definately stay again. Would be nice to have internet next time. Xx air-conditioning would be amazing. Loved hearing the waves from the house.

This house was perfect for our fanily holiday. House was clean and it actually felt like a home not a rental. Lots of kitchen utensils and crockery, big bbq and pool was good for those that used it. Could not fault the house and the communication with the owners. Nothing was to much trouble

Great Location
The house was very clean and well presented and perfect for our family. The location is wonderful. The owner is very accommodating and understanding. We were very disappointed in the complaints from the neighbour who did not like us talking, laughing or the dogs barking. We did not enjoy or relax the weekend as we were so stressed from the phone calls of complaints from the neighbour. We thought we found the perfect holiday home for our family however I would not recommend this property if you want to go with teenage kids or dogs.
Response from VrboOwner on 21 Mar 2020
Hi Tracy, Thanks for taking the time to give us some feed back, our house manager & I work hard to make sure it is always clean & well presented. I do think that your comments on my neighbour are a bit harsh, in light of the fact that there was enough noise out side at midnight & until 1.30 am Saturday morning, to carry (noise carry's very easily at night) & disturb my neighbour, despite the house rules suggesting that gatherings be moved inside by 9.30-10 to avoid such occurrences. Additionally, your dogs were causing a lot of noise by barking at any new noise they heard (this was verified by a different neighbour across the road, that I spoke with today). While we are pet friendly I would like to point out that the expectation is that you keep the dogs under control, which was not the case here & is outlined in our house rules & terms & conditions (when I spoke with your husband the second time you had left the dogs out in the yard unsupervised). This does not excuse the way she chose to respond by yelling out, I do wish she had chosen to let me know her concerns so I could deal appropriately & have spoken with her, however I do think that there was genuine cause for complaint both times I called you. Lastly I felt that you being stressed because of the phone calls of complaints paints the picture that I was calling you several times a day or more, when we only spoke re the noise complaints twice, the first time on Saturday after the late night gathering on Friday night, where I also mentioned keeping the dogs under control & the second time being on the Sunday afternoon after you had left the dogs to their own devices & were again barking. Thanks Geoff
No wifi which was a bit of a bummer. Internet connection was poor in the house. You will need to go outisde to get decent reception. TV connection wasnt the best either as it lagged often. However there was a great selection of DVDs so this helped. I met the property owner and she was lovely and very helpful. Pool area was great for entertaining the kids. Will definiately re-book in the warmer months.
