Check-in and -out Times: During the busy months of December and January, the check-in time is 4 pm to facilitate peak back-to-back changeovers. Our standard check-in time is 3 pm and check-out time is 10 am. We offer a complimentary early check-in or late check-out time as a gesture of goodwill where booking and housekeeping schedules allow. Note that due to demand and housekeeping pressures, no early check-ins or late check-outs will be granted during the months of December and January. The safest way to secure an early check-in or later check-out is to book the property for an extra night. Contact us for a special rate for this extra night. All Sunday late check outs must be requested and approved prior to 5 pm on the Friday evening prior. All complimentary early check-ins or late check-outs must be confirmed in writing so that our housekeeping team are informed accordingly.

Really enjoyed the house and its location. Very easy with a family. Amazing views and whales spotted every day.
10 / 10Outstanding·Feb 2022
We had stayed here a few years ago and were still amazed at the views. The house is perfect for a family with pets. We enjoyed every minute of our stay.
10 / 10Outstanding·Feb 2022
we have to say the online pictures don’t do this place justice - so much beautiful space with a separate Tv room, an upstairs lounge and a downstairs lounge area, and also both separate front and back entertaining areas. optional outdoor entertaining areas too. not to mention great ocean views from the downstairs main bedroom and from the upstairs master room. just beautiful !
they provided everything you need to cook if you decide to do so, and 2 bbq’s to choose from. such beautiful outdoor areas, and the yard is completely fenced in which is great for pets. we had 2 pugs and a parrot - so easy!
there was also a lovely picnic area down by the water, and we so loved that special space.
overall the property was fitted out for comfort front and back, depending on the winds. it has amazing views & we didn’t want to leave! they suggest to pay it forward, hence leave what’s convenient for the next tenant so lots of condiments available. very impressed with ‘who gives a crap’ TP & other environmentally products as it gives back to the environment.
we had such a lovely time for our 3 night stay with 3 adults and 2 teens, can’t wait to come back again!
6 / 10Average·Oct 2020
The property has a fantastic view and the layout with 3 living areas is good and was well stocked for essentials and very well located. However for the price you pay it is not at all maintained. The front gate lock didn't work, there were ornaments and paint crumbling and peeling off the wall, the light was out in the BBQ area, the bedside lights in the upstairs bedroom didn't work, the tap in the upstairs bedroom was almost coming off, the screen door didn't work properly and we had to fix it.
