This is a truly special home, with stunning views and great location. It’s just incredibly well designed, clearly a lot of thought and care has gone into it. We loved our stay and look forward to coming back again soon.
A real home away from home. Tastefully decorated in a fabulous location with breathtaking views and every comfort imaginable. Would definitely recommend
The house was absolutely incredible and true to the listing.It had all the mod cons you could hope for and was presented beautifully. Check in was super easy and communication with Kate was great. The location and views were second to none. I actually think the online views don't do the in person views justice. Would highly recommend staying at this perfect holiday retreat.

Thanks for the review Deb, hope you can visit again sometime. Dalmeny is such a special place
Kind regards

Silversea was delightful, warm and has the most spectacular views! Just a short drive from Canberra, we held our first team off-campus writing retreat at the Dalmeny property. It is in an exceptional location a few minutes to the beach or the inlet, excellent coffee nearby and a running/riding distance to Narooma along the beachfront. Cannot recommend enough, will be back!!
Spent three special days here with my three adult children. Really lovely house with amazing views. Nice furnishings and bedding and lovely artefacts, yet homely. The whales were there in their dozens. Incredible.
Hope to go again sometime before too long.
We were delighted by the care and generosity the owners displayed in opening their beautiful property to us. The views were outstanding, artwork and decor exquisite and generous access to all facilities valued. We were very happy to have the pantry basics included and loved the welcoming chocolates and champagne. Hoping to be back soon.
We really enjoyed our stay at Silversea, the house is gorgeous and beautifully presented and Dalmeny is stunning. The whales were putting on a show at this time of the year. There is a great iGA and fish & chip shop just down the road, and the beach is a 2 minute walk. Great location and not too far to Mill Bay boardwalk to see the seals and stingrays, Central Tilba for shopping and winery and Big Niles Brewing Co to try out a paddle of beers! Thank you Kate and Andrew for making your beautiful place available we really enjoyed our stay .

Thanks Mary - so glad you enjoyed your stay in Dalmeny. Thank you for looking after the house so well - your welcome back anytime.

This is a beautiful house - great design, lots of space, modern and plentiful amenities. In fact, the house and the view are probably even better than the photos suggest!
Really close to the beach and handy local shops. Quiet location.
Agree with the earlier comment re the tone of extensive rules which is less welcoming than the generous nature of the house.
highly recommended

Hello Diane - glad you had a great time at Dalmeny and hope you had some nice weather. Thank you for looking after the house so well. My apologies for all the house rules - however, we have had some very messy and careless guests previously. Kind regards Kate

Magnificent
This house is just stunning - from design to furniture to fully functional kitchen. Everything is thought of and it feels like someone’s forever home. The design is fantastic with bedrooms on both levels, off to one side, with privacy doors. The views are to die for and the house is set up to take advantage of them from every nook. Beds are comfortable and linens are top class. Beach is a short easy stroll away and IGA is on the corner, with larger shops at Narooma only 10 minutes away. We had two families with adult children and everyone fitted in beautifully. We had a lovely long weekend. Thanks Kate, you have an amazing house. We felt lucky to be able to share it. Kylie

Gorgeous home to start our Australian Vacation, what a beauty it was.
Highly recommend staying here, it had all bells and whistles of luxury hotels, it’s definitely a 5 star ⭐️ stay.
Kate was a wonderful interactive host and so appreciate her sharing her lovely home with us. Loved how two kangaroos hopped along the back of the property when we arrived, especially visiting from the Austin, Texas & Picayune, Mississippi it was a wonderful welcome to OZ. It had sooo many amenities you will lack for nothing, even champagne was provided.
Views were amazing , you won’t regret booking here, we loved our stay.
Kind regards,

Excellent property for adults.Unique quality and position with superb views.
Excellent for adults.
Marvellous views.
Top quality fittings and furniture.
Not suitable for young children due to stairs and wooden floors and furniture that could be subject to damage.
This property is superb, really well equipped, clean and very stylish. It boasted extensive views of the ocean, inlet and mountains beyond with great whale watching opportunities. It is located close to nearby shops but is also only a 10 minute drive from Narooma. Beautiful house and sensational location.
We had a wonderful mid week winter break! The property exceeded our expectations and the view was amazing!! Everything was provided that we required with an extremely well equipped kitchen and chocolates and champagne on arrival!! Kate was an excellent host and communication was first class. Thanks again we hope to be back soon!
We had a wonderful stay in Dalmeny. The house was beautifully appointed and well kept. The view of the ocean is even more beautiful in real life and it was a quick stroll to the shops / beach park. Lots of fun things to do in the area. Bring your bikes!

Happy to hear you enjoyed the house and your stay at Dalmeny so much. Welcome back any time.
Renter beware - expect to not receive your deposit back
The property is well positioned and we’ll set up, but the experience was tainted by the host’s unreasonable expectations and interactions that future renters should be aware of. As mentioned by other reviewers, the host issues a set of instructions only a couple of days prior to arrival that details their expectations of the visit, including their cleaning expections. I would recommend future renters prepare a detailed incoming condition report and have it sent to the host in writing on arrival. There were several issues with the property that we discovered throughout our stay (eg broken bbq lid, scratched floors, dirty cushions bbq and oven) that we were then charged for. We were also told by the host that additional cleaning was required as we did not mop the floors or clean the bedsheets prior to our departure. We were also charged additionally because all 5 beds were slept in, which should not have been a surprise because we had paid for 5 people to be there! Given we spent several hours cleaning the property according to the hosts other demands (including sweeping the floors and cleaning all windows and glass balustrades), it is hard to imagine a situation where someone could reasonably stay in the property and meet the departure time of 10am. The hosts interaction is unusual and unreasonable given the high daily rate and cleaning fee included.

Hi Maya,
Firstly, this is definitely not a regular occurrence for us, over six years of frequent renting, we have only ever retained a tenant's full security deposit once before. We are currently calculating the cost of all the damages and cleaning and you will receive a partial refund soon. The extra costs were not for the number of beds that were slept in, we only charged you for the 5 people you had booked, unfortunately, the extra costs were due to the damages and the terrible state the house was left in, which required many extra hours of cleaning. There were bloodstains on the bedding, large stains on the carpet that required steam cleaning to remove, food and oily stains on blankets, multiple food and oily stains on the furniture, cushions and timber deck, toys left strewn around, bathrooms and toilets left filthy. Additionally, the BBQ and oven tray were left dirty, dirty washing left in the sink, there were 2 new long scratches on the floor, dirty plates had been put back in the drawer, a remote control missing, as well as sunscreen and gunk on door handles. We do not feel that's the way to leave a family home that you have rented.
As such, we have had to retain money from the security deposit to cover the additional cleaning and steam cleaning charges to ensure the house is clean and ready to welcome our next happy guests.

About the host
Hosted by Kate
We are from Canberra and like to spend as much of our time in Dalmeny as possible. We enjoy biking, walking, kayaking, and, of course, the beach and wildlife here. Happy to give others the opportunity to enjoy this beautiful house and everything Dalmeny has to offer.
Why they chose this property
Dalmeny is a quiet little Gem on the South Coast and adjoins the Eurobodalla National Park. We have a pristine beach and lots of wildlife around, including opportunities to watch the whales migrate. Excellent mountain biking trails, bushwalking, kayaking and a 8km bike path all the way to Narooma.
What makes this property unique
The house sits up high overlooking the beach, national park and estuaries. You can watch the surfers and the whales from the lounge room. The house features natural timber finishes, 60's furniture and is architect-designed. It's a family home with beautiful artworks and everything you need for a great holiday or weekend away.
