With more than enough beds to sleep 2 young families, we were able to celebrate a memorable Christmas, and cook a substantial Christmas feast for everyone with an impressively stocked kitchen. There are more appliances, bowls, glasses, baking dished and cutlery to use whilst another whole set in in the dishwasher! The huge deck is a beautiful place to relax and drink a few glasses of wine whilst catching up with friends and family in a serene and private space. The only background noise is the ever-chirruping cicadas, and the beach is an easy stroll down the street. Great location, fantastic generously furnished house with ALL the comforts of home - in fact, their kitchen was better stocked than mine!! We hope to return some day :)" "It was such a lovely place, and we really enjoyed the stay at this house. As a bunch of Europeans, we almost forgot what a house with double-glassed windows look like :) It felt like home! And the outdoor spa was just amazing. We were 8 adults had the best time at the Deck. I definitely will recommend this place to my friends."

The house was clean, the beds are comfortable, and there was plenty of space - even on the wet days. The kitchen is extremely well equipped - lots of crockery/cutlery and utensils - there were even good, sharp knives. The location is really good, with the beach being an easy, level walk away. Communication with Betina was easy (she is very patient), and the security deposit was refunded immediately. I would highly recommend The Deck. ##### Ruth S. ### 8/10 Good #### Heidi F. 1 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family vacay vibes We stayed at The Deck for a Family Christmas - the property was well equipped for everything we needed, especially given we were hosting Christmas lunch for us all and within walking distance (for the young ones!) to the gorgeous Elizabeth Beach! Also to the infamous ‘Reccy Club’ for sunset nibbles and cocktails!! Everything was as described in the add, The outdoor spa and warm shower were an absolute treat, paired with the huge deck for endless hours of outside fun! Would recommend to all of my family and friends - only downside was the onslaught of mosquitoes and bugs, but that is the consequence of backing onto such a beautiful rainforest! Definitely recommend the property but that you also pack bug spray, coils and candles!! ##### Heidi F.

Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Lilli D. 21 Jan 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### House was great and in an amazing location The house was great and in an amazing location. There were a few niggly things that could have made our stay more comfortable though. The circuit in the room downstairs kept switching off during the night so the fan kept turning off which made for a very uncomfortable stay for one of the families we were with. I messaged the house manager and he advised it was a known issue, they just didn’t know what was tripping the circuit. It would have been nice to have been told this before or offered compensation as it effected one families whole experience at the property. I have stayed at many rental properties and have never seen so many rules for a house before. It was a bit much and we felt like we had to constantly check if what we were doing was ok.There was also not powerpoint outside, so to be able to turn on the mozzie catcher out there we had to lead a big cord through the house which is unsafe with our young children around. The bunk room also didn’t have a fan.We tried to put the safety gate on as we had young children with us, but not all the pieces were there so we were unable. Most of us did have a great stay and I would recommend it to friends, but maybe not in the stinking hot summer and with as many young children as we had. The house had a dishwasher which was great, a big deck which was amazing and the best eating nook that the children loved. For the price, this property was fantastic!!! ##### Lilli D. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Matthew W. 31 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely place, with a few issues The Deck is a wonderful house, perfect for a family gathering and brilliantly located. We had a great time.However - there are a number of issues that could be improved. The biggest issue is the long list of cleaning expectations placed on the guest - it's fairly overwhelming and frequently threatens with the loss of your security deposit. Washing dishes is a reasonable expectation, but shaking out doormats and mopping floors is a bit intense.When we discovered that the previous guests had obviously not followed many of the rules, we were a bit stressed that we would be blamed. We provided feedback on these issues but never received a response.All in all the stay was pleasant, but for the premium price I would expect a little more hospitality. ##### Matthew W.

The place is set up well and has some friendly kookaburras that kept us company in the late afternoon. Recommend. ##### Melanie R.

The house had everything we needed including thing to bake a cake for my daughters birthday. The outside shower was awesome and was so good to clean the kids off - they used this shower more than inside again had everything we needed. The only slight down side was no dryer, but that’s not a big issues just need to pack extra beach towels in case it rains and hard to dry. We will definitely book the deck again next time we go to Elizabeth beach - Oh and the house had awesome internet service !! Thanks again Betina for having us in your lovely home it was perfect ##### Renae B.
