Tons of room, lovely bathrooms. Big open kitchen and warm fireplace. Great location close to the beach and the shops. Very peaceful outlook and lots of wildlife. Would definitely stay here again. ##### Renae S. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen H., Sydney, Australia 16 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location Our 2nd time at this home, as we love the location, the bushy, shady block and quiet neighbourhood. A very comfortable home away from home. We will be back. ##### Karen H. Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Donna C. 31 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place The property and property management couldn’t be faulted.. some minor issues with water but not unexpected given the amount of rain nsw has had. The only point I’d mention is anyone taking their dog to hawks nest be wary of the dingos. Even though some beaches are off leash I’d recommend you keep your dog on leash. Dingos were everywhere! Myself and my golden retriever were stalked on the beach . It was terrifying. We also had a run in with one roaming the streets near the caravan park. It stopped in front of my husband and growled. They are persistent and intelligent. Locals told me to carry a stick! Not inducive to a relaxing beach holiday with your pet! ##### Donna C. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Helen S. 26 Feb 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### So close to the beach Spacious, comfortable beds, big lounges, fitted out with everything you could need, little kids beach a small walk away. Loved it. ##### Helen S. Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen H. 19 Feb 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely shady home close to beaches We loved this house and will stay again. Plenty of room and modern throughout. Great shady block with established trees made the house comfortable in late summer. 5 minute walk to beautiful Jimmy's beach. Plenty of parking. ##### Karen H. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Giusy D. 6 Dec 2021 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication #### Big house in great location but too many bugs The house is big and it is very close to the beach. Unfortunately we didn’t enjoy much because the house was full of bugs, ants and some spiders. We needed to clean constantly and when we were chilling in the living room the ants where dropping from the ceiling. Unfortunately same experience in the bedrooms. Some of the insect screens are broken and this didn’t help with the insects. It was a pity to struggle all the week with this and I believe the house should be checked before to be rent! If it wasn’t for this reason the house could be perfect! ##### Giusy D. Stayed 8 nights in Nov 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### alex H. 12 Nov 2021 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### stay at Hawks Nest nice house plenty of room, needed some work some of the fly screens had holes, we had some rain during the stay there was a leak near back door the outdoor roof had some leaks as well, the yard was not kid friendly the trees need to trim back parked the car in drive way it got covered in leaves and bark from the gum trees need a car port if a branch had fallen it would of hit the car ##### alex H.
