The Area
Avoca Beach is a great escape from Sydney. Located approximately 90kms north of Sydney, it is an easy drive mostly along a freeway, then through Gosford. A favourite place for surfers and for families to relax by the seasonally patrolled beach. Avoca has a village feel to it. Cafes and restaurants are all casual and abuzz. A few are B.Y.O. which makes it an inexpensive option for dining out. From Terrigal, there is scuba diving available that takes you for a dive to HMAS Adelaide just off Avoca Beach. A bowls club is available at Avoca. Golf at Terrigal. Horse riding at Empire Bay. Bushwalking at Bouddi National Park. Boating at Brisbane Water. * Guests have access to the pathway to the side of the units to walk to the village and beach via The Round Drive.
Other things to note
Families are welcome although the townhouse is not ideal for young children or for people with a physical disability due to internal stairs. This townhouse is in a complex of 6, so any loud noise will impact on others. It would be appreciated if you can limit the amount of noise after 10pm. We would love you to enjoy and relax at our house, but if partying is your priority, we would suggest an alternative venue.

This is the second time we have stayed at the property. Peter & Jan are the most generous and welcoming hosts. The unit is clean, spacious and has everything we need for our stay. Close to the beach with a lovely view, it's like a home away from home. Would stay again and would definitely recommend. Thanks Peter & Jan for another wonderful stay!
Thank you Jan and Peter! Your place is perfect for the family. You supplied us with everything we need and more! The kids love the ping pong table and boogie boards. Comfortable and very clean.
A spacious unit with a lovely view and stocked with everything you need for your stay, and more! Peter & Jan are the most kind and thoughtful hosts. We would definitely stay again and have no hesitation in recommending to others. Thank you for having us!

Thank you Cherie. It was a delight to host your family. So glad the weather held out for your stay after such an unpredictable '22. Thanks also for leaving our house as presented, much appreciated. Stay safe and hope to see you back another time.
Lovely return stay in this comfortable house. Kids loved the table tennis and chess! Great spot close to beaches. Love the ocean view, so relaxing! Owners have excellent communication prior and during stay.

Thanks for your review Amelia and family. Glad you all had relaxing time and that the chess board and table tennis got a workout.
We had an amazing stay - we have rented many houses over the years but never been anywhere that the hosts have been so thoughtful of their guests or kept the hose so immaculately. We also had a couple of questions during our stay and they were super responsive and helpful. We will surely be back!

Thanks for your review Suneeta and family. We're so glad you had a great stay. Cleanliness is a priority to us and we're glad you thought so. Thankyou for tidying up before your departure too. Hope to see you all back here another time soon. P & J
Peter and Jan's property was impeccable. No detail was overlooked and we had a super comfortable and relaxed trip. The thoughtful touches like the wine, eggs and homemade no nasties soap were much appreciated. The beds were comfortable and everything was sparkling.
Having a guitar and the table tennis on the property was a special treat. Thanks for the special handwritten note on arrival, guide book with useful information, delayed departure and the soap, Jan and Peter.
We feel rejuvenated after this mini break and hope to be back again before not too long.
My family & I had a great stay over Christmas / NY 2019/20.
Peter & Jan were very accommodating even when we arrived 1 day earlier (our error) and they were still happy for us to stay the additional night!
The online photos are an accurate description of the property and you can see (and hear!) the beach from the balcony and ample glass windows overlooking the sea.
The welcome book was really helpful to read first up as it gave a good overview of the property and the area and things to do / places to visit.
We found the ensuite bathroom mirror too low for us to use as the window was at face height, and whilst the owners had left some items in fridge and pantry for our use we weren't always sure what we could & couldn't use.
As you are up on the hill, the walk to the beach is longer than some places closer, but its a very quick 4 min drive in any case and still walk-able if you wish.
However these are all very minor things really as you do need to remember you are staying in someone else's home and it is a great place to stay.
We had a relaxing time and would stay again.
This was our second visit to this townhouse. The property is very comfortable, and the things provided for our stay, especially in the kitchen are outstanding. The owners are very helpful and easy to deal with.
Hospitality plus in a home away from home. One of the best.
The property was very clean with many quality inclusions. Furniture and appliances were modern and in full working order. There was plenty of very clean crockery, cutlery, glassware and cookware. Kitchen was immaculately clean and ready to use on arrival. Inclusions were very welcome and high quality.
Similarly, bathrooms were immaculate and ready for use.
Beds were very comfortable and fantastic for feasting the weary bones. Blinds and privacy was top notch.
There was lots of information on local attractions, local eateries and things to do. Recommendations on those we tried were spot on.
I congratulate the vendor as one of the best I have experienced.

Hi Kerry & family.
Thanks so much for your great review. Much appreciated.
We are so glad you had a great experience here.
We'll plant your seedlings in the garden and hope your family can see them some time again.
We've been away, so sorry for the late reply
Kind regards
Peter & Jan
Our family of 5 cannot fault Peter and Jan’s fantastic property.
From the exceptionally thoughtful breakfast items provided and kindness shown in their communication, through to the generous access to equipment and the super comfy beds.
A-Grade people and property.
Our son actually commented that he “knows why people love it there so much. It’s because they make everyone feel so cared for”!!
He is so right.
We are all looking forward to our next stay!
Thank you Peter and Jan for blessing our family with your home and kindness.

Thanks for having us Jan and Peter, your place was so lovely, welcoming and clean! We loved your book of recommendations, the welcome letter, chocolates and the items in the fridge.

Great views! Spacious and clean property! Lovely hosts!
We had a great weekend here recently. We are a family of 5 (one 3 year old and two twin babies). Peter and Jan were very helpful before, during and after we booked with them. The views from the house and balcony are lovely and it's only a 15 minute walk into Avoca Beach. The house is very nice, spacious and clean. We will definitely be staying again!

Wonderful relaxing views
Peter and Jan didn't leave anything to chance to help us have a great time at their property. Check-in was easy and the home was spotlessly clean. Everything was just as described and we couldn't have asked for anything more. We felt welcomed, even though we never met them personally. We'd definitely love to return.

Great affordable family townhouse
A lovely stay in Avoca. Enjoyed the view, short walk to the beach and cafes and market. Kids were kept entertained by the table tennis and netflix. The townhouse was perfect, tidy, clean and very quiet, and our hosts went to extra effort to make it a special birthday weekend away. All appreciated.
