This was a really relaxing place to stay- we loved the verandah’s. Plenty of room for everyone. The beach is literally steps from the front door across the road.

We loved our weekend at 'By The Beach at Catho'. Our teenagers enjoyed walking across the road to go spear fishing each day. We took long walks on the beach and spent time as a family sitting around on the back deck. The outdoor shower was super handy and the hammock was heavily fought over. We'll definitely be back!

What a gem of a property By the Beach at Catho is. With its location directly opposite the beach, it is the perfect spot for a beach holiday. The house is well-appointed and filled with charm. We experienced the ultimate in relaxation and rejuvenation.
The house itself is one of the better-appointed accommodations, with everything you need to cook, entertain and enjoy the space. Other conveniences, such as great internet, a good-sized TV, games and plenty of spaces to enjoy were appreciated.
Catherine Hill Bay and the surrounds doesn’t have a lot of eating out options, but there’s a terrific seafood market in Swansea and once you’ve got your supplies, you don’t need to go elsewhere. It’s a self-contained holiday space.
The house was clean, linen comfortable and plenty of towels to see the week through.
