Mantra Ettalong Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely views"

Ettalong Beach Tourist Resort

10/10 Excellent

"I love that there is a microwave, cutlery, plates and toaster in the basic room. Good location, walking distance to the ferry. Lift for use is useful."

Nightcap at Ocean Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely host, the property was well positioned. We enjoyed our stay."

Footsteps to the Bay by HolidayCo.

8/10 Good

"After a long time, we finally found a holiday property that truly ticked all the boxes.From the moment we arrived, we were impressed with how exceptionally clean and well-presented the home was. The communication with Holiday Co was seamless, and the caretaker and host were always quick to respond to any questions we had, making the entire experience stress-free.The kitchen and pantry were incredibly well stocked with all the essentials and much more. It was obvious that the owner had put a lot of thought into ensuring guests had everything they could possibly need. The beds were extremely comfortable, the house was beautifully maintained, and the views were simply stunning. Every amenity we needed was available, making it feel like a true home away from home.The only issue we encountered was with the electrical circuit. We couldn't run the heaters at the same time as the microwave or dishwasher without the power tripping. This meant we had to take turns resetting the circuit breaker and ensuring the heaters were switched off before using other appliances. While it was a minor inconvenience, it was the only challenge during our stay.Apart from that, everything about this property exceeded our expectations. It was clean, comfortable, well-equipped, and very welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are already planning to book this property again in late summer.A big thank you to Holiday Co and the owner for providing such a wonderful holiday experience."
