Good start Sad Ending****

Place is clean as shown in the photos. Booked the property for 4 nights with group of 10. First three nights went well, no issues thought I would have great holiday. BUT on the last day there was no gas 🙁. The main issue was, the house does not have proper natural gas connection, it fed by Gas cylinders. Saturday evening, gas ran out and the cylinders were empty. We could not cook, no hot water for entire house. We had to order food from outside and had cold shower after tree top activity for entire group. And no hot water for next morning either. Called management emergency number, it went to call centre and they said someone would call us back. Some lady left a msg to my voicemail, saying to email them and send pictures of it. I really was disappointed, pictures of empty cylinder ????????? Also rubbish bin was half filled with bricks and roof tiles, we could not dump our rubbish in there and as per terms , it says we need to remove all excess rubbish. How is it possible with 75% of bin already filled with house material.

Why they chose this property

Catherine Hill Bay pairs heritage charm with incredible nature, and the real magic sits just south along the headlands. From the village you can join sandy paths and cliff-top trails to Moonee Beach and Ghosties Beach, two secluded stretches known for clear water, rock platforms, and big-sky views. Moonee feels wild and open, perfect for sunrise walks and shell-hunting at low tide. Around the next headland, Ghosties is more sheltered with dramatic sandstone and tucked-away pockets for a quiet swim when conditions are calm. The famous Pink Caves sit off this coastline too, best admired only at safe low-tide windows, with swell and conditions checked first. Walkers can link beaches and bush through Wallarah National Park and the adjoining coastal reserves, mixing firm sand, headland lookouts, and shaded forest. Pack water, a hat, and your camera, then make a loop back to the village for a meal at the Catho Pub or a seaside bite at Caves Coastal. Top nearby walks * Coastal track from Catherine Hill Bay to Moonee Beach, continue on to Ghosties at low tide * Headland lookouts through Wallarah National Park with whale watching in season * Rock platform rambles and tide-pool exploring on calmer days Quiet, scenic, and close to home, these trails and beaches bring the easy holiday vibe to your doorstep.
