Our family of four (2 adults and 2 teens) really loved this place. Lovely, comfortable place and a large grassy area to play cricket etc. Just off Arakoon Rd you can walk to the beach if you want. A quiet location for the end of the day too. ##### Elizabeth Street ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alinta S. 4 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful location, sound of the bush and smell of the ocean. Lovely relaxing family stay Came with my family (husband, kids and grandmother) we wanted to get out of Sydney and get some fresh air, close to the beach that was away from the tourist spots... Absolutely beautiful views, the sound of kookaburras at all times of the day. Home was stocked with basics, lovely towels and bedding supplied.. all fresh and clean. I was very impressed with the comfort of the home excluding the lounge but to be honest the fans, air con and clothes dryer all made up for it. I have a 1.5yo and the home was safe for her to venture around. My teens struggled abit without wifi đŸ˜† but I likes that fact, we had other things to do.. local beaches stunning, lighthouse, coffee shops near by... hope to come back soon ##### Alinta S. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Megan B. 24 Jul 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A great little house in a beautiful part of South West Rocks, our of the business of town! We loved our stay here, such a beautiful area and very close to one of the most amazing beaches! We would happily recommend this gorgeous little hideaway! ##### Megan B.
