Great location, perfect for small family

This gorgeous retro house was perfect for our small family and dog. Cosy and clean with fabulous deck and everything we needed. A short walk to beaches, local shops and cafes. We'll definitely be back.

Pet friendly studio

I had to make a trip to Terrigal at short notice for 5 nights and take my Bernese Mountain Dog. Gail promptly replied to my query and said my dog was welcome. The studio is perfectly appointed and as impressive as the photos show. It is completely separate from the main house, very quiet and the yard secured by gates. A great location within walking distance to Terrigal Esplanade. Gail was super friendly and thoughtful. I highly recommend this property and would definitely stay again in the future.

Lovely home in great location

We were a group of two families with young kids who had a great stay at this home. The home is well-equipped and a well-stocked pantry and kitchen which was good for cooking. We appreciated the welcome basket, and the milk and eggs provided were such a nice touch. Plenty of room for all of us and great communication with the hosts. Some internet connection issues but overall a wonderful stay.

Facilities, view, closeness to beach and location could not be beaten, fantastic. Few stairs to navigate for the oldies but the effort was worth it. A benefit from COVID exploring territory nearer home (Sydney). Wonderful experience
