Fantastic location, amazing views and close to coastal walks and beaches. The property is in need of some tlc, cleaning cob webs and pest control. Showers are leaking all around screens and doors. Otherwise it’s well stocked, beds were ok, a bit soft for us, and great air conditioning (if needed). Thank you for the lovely bottle of wine.
Stunning views. We must have seen 100 whales migrating.

Whilst the view is lovely, the house is somewhat lacking. The oven didn’t work, as the seal was broken, the kitchen is poorly stocked and the house was very dusty and dirty in cupboards and under the beds.

Amazing property with Incredible views. Looking out over the ocean. Managed to spot humpback, whales and dolphins while sitting on the deck while drinking a coffee. Lovely furnishings and comfy beds. We had a wonderful few days here. Property is looking a bit tired in a few places and would benefit from having instruction manuals on how to work the oven, heating/aircon systems etc. also, check-in process and retrieving security bond from rental company all a bit laborious and complicated.

Ocean’s Edge Retreat was everything we hoped for and more! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the breathtaking ocean views—truly a peaceful paradise. The space was spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained, and thoughtfully designed for comfort and relaxation.The beds were incredibly comfortable—we all slept like babies every night. It’s hard to find places that strike the right balance between cozy and spacious, but this retreat nailed it. It’s perfect for families, with plenty of room and a calm, welcoming atmosphere that made us feel right at home.And the best part? The price was more than reasonable for everything that was included. Great value without sacrificing quality.If you’re looking for a serene, family-friendly escape with stunning views and all the comforts of home, Ocean’s Edge Retreat is the place. We’ll definitely be coming back!

This stay was all about the location and the view. Amazing views straight off the cliffs, and if you're lucky enough to stay during the humpback migration season, you've got front rows seats to the best show in town! We were lucky enough to witness so many humpbacks passing by, blowing, breaching, slapping fins and tails and just generally having fun. No better spot to stay.The house itself was very comfortable, with the lounge and kitchen positioned perfectly to take in the view, so even if it's raining, you can still enjoy the location. Just be prepared to bring your own pantry staples such as glad wrap/baking paper as only tea/coffee/sugar was supplied. Also, if you request to have the twin beds made into a double, make sure you confirm before you arrive to save any hassles for both you and the housekeepers!Loved staying here for the humpbacks :)

Hi Narelle,
Thank you so much, Narelle!
We’re thrilled you had front-row seats to the humpback migration — truly one of the most spectacular sights!
It’s great to hear the house was comfortable and perfectly positioned to enjoy those views, rain or shine.
