Fabulous in every way
What a great location for a gathering for family or friends. The owners of this property have thought of everything. Fully equiped kitchen and bikes, rip stick, canoes, stand-up paddle boards & games for the kids. Fabulous outlook and great spot to keep your tinnie. We caught a great feed of Brim & an impressive Flathead just in front of the house. We are coming home to buy a new bed for us as we enjoyed the comfort of Pottsville Beach Retreat so much! Thanks Anneke. We enjoyed our stay very much!

Beautiful, relaxing location!
We really enjoyed our stay - it was super relaxing and the property was set up really well! There were paddle boards, bikes, games, etc. and plenty of room to just chill. The host was really helpful and quick to respond. My favourite spot was sitting out on the balcony taking in the view... I hope to come back and stay here again soon!

Perfect Pottsville Beach House
We loved our stay in Pottsville - the house was modern and spacious, positioned perfectly on the river close to the beach. Every amenity was supplied from bikes to surfboards to beach gear - it really is a fabulous home, particularly for an active family wanting the classic Aussie beach holiday. We would love to return in the future !

Perfect Getaway
We had a fantastic stay at this lovely house right on the water. Swimming straight out the back with the use of rubber rings and boogie boards over at the beach. And only a short stroll into town for everything you need or across the road for groceries and the pub which has great food. We would definitely stay again, good for a family of 4 plus grandparents.

what a terrific property.So well appointed and with a great aspect of the river.Plenty of in house games and paddle boards and bikes as well.Walk straight out from the rear deck 20m and there are the steps into a really clean and shallow river,plenty of fish there too.Paddle to the river mouth or walk to the beach.Across the road on the west side is a small shopping complex as well with great pizza,bakery and small supermarket and pub.No need to drive anywhere else. Hope to get there again soon. Dave T and family

Perfect Pottsville!
What an awesome home! Perfectly located on the creek at Pottsville, so when the weather was inclement, we sat and watched the water, so very relaxing! The house itself has everything you could possibly need, from a place for your puppy to call home to an incredible kitchen with a view! My only regret was that we had to come back to reality after four days! We will return!! Thank you so much Anneke!!

A great place to unwind and relax!
This wonderful house had a most relaxing feel to it as soon as you entered. It was much bigger then I expected and the back deck was my favourite place to sit ,drink, read, relax, people watch, gaze out to the water....whatever the mood. The bed was so comfortable and the little touches that Anneke had around the house was much appreciated. Especially the use of a kayak and paddle boards to enjoy the beautiful water right at our back door! Also loved that we were so close to pub, supermarket and bakery .....literally across the road! Loved this place and will definitely be back!

Thank you Mark. The property is blocked out for 3 weeks in January for some TLC. We have been replacing the furniture piece by piece, just waiting for the lounge chairs to arrive..... was only meant to be 6 weeks & it has now been 10... Getting there :)

Holiday with the pets
The house is beautiful, easy to get to the beach as well as the creek. We had no problems at all . In fact Anneke gave us some extra time for the check out. We could explore the place more. Overall a very good vacation, with the accommodation playing a very big role in it.

Fun Family Holiday
Overall, our stay was amazing. Yes, the bin was full but the owner was easy to talk to and we simply left our rubbish as per her directions via message. Small issue which is easily addressed. The house is well lived in but it makes you feel relaxed when kids are being kids.. The amenties are right on your door stop - kayak, SUP, kids toys, bikes, cricket.. made for a memorable weekend. We will be back!

Beautiful view and spacious house But...
Be careful where you sleep, sit and shower. There is a Lounge chair broken, second queen bed has no support under the mattress and groans loudly when you move. One shower unusable and other sometimes stays above head height. The what to do book is outdated on many items and gives the renter a stern reminder that the lovely grass between the deck and water is a public walkway, dogs must be on the lead and the ranger comes and checks...the only place for our dogs is on the deck as the small enclosed front yard has an unsecured gate that blows open in the wind even with a brick (supplied) in front. Plus the smell from the overflowing bins that greeted us was not a good beginning. The bathroom taps leak, there is lots of dust inside the house, louvred are broken or stiff, there was sand all over the chairs outside and the list goes on. It is a beautiful space...in need of regular maintenance and regular checks from the owner. Whilst I appreciate it’s an ongoing task maybe the house needs to be blocked as unavailable a few times a year? Some of these issues are obviously not new as they have either been mentioned or alluded to in the visitors book.
Stayed 1 night in Aug 2019
Response from VrboOwner on 18 Mar 2020
Hi Toni, I thank you for bringing some of these items to my attention & I am sorry that you feel you had an uncomfortable stay. We take great pride in our home & aim to address issues as quickly as possible. Unfortunately though some things do happen while guests are staying in the home, like the loose shower heads. Both of them seemed to want to fail at once & these have both since been fixed. A previous guest did slightly break the back of one section of the U shape lounge but as it does not effect the comfort of the lounge itself we have left this as is. Thank you for pointing out the groaning bed, this has been tightened & no longer groans. I apologise about the overflowing bins. This can be an issue if the bins have not been put out each weekend. We usually rely on the weekend guests to put the bins out for collection but it appears this did not happen & you were greeted by it during your midweek stay. I have actually bought new inside Ecobins to help seperate the rubbish so that the rubbish can be put in the correct coloured bin in the hope that this will help the overflowing issue. The front gate latch has been replaced & can no longer open in the wind. Thank you again, if we aren't told about the issues then we can't fix them. We look forward to seeing you again at some stage.

Excellent Location
We had a lovely two nights in Pottsville. The house was spotless and everything you could think of was provided. The location is excellent, I think we went to the shops across the road at least 6 times. My husband enjoyed fishing & caught 5 fish. We had fun taking the two dogs for a walk to the beach which was only about 5 minutes walk. The woodburner was an added bonus & it made the house cozy in a short time.

Hi Don, Thank you for your review. I am sorry about the overflowing bin issue, that is not good to hear & not a pleasant experience for yourself. At the end of January we closed the house to bookings to take care of some of those TLC issues. Thank you, we hope to see you back. Anneke.

Just delightful; my mother didn't want to leave!
Lovely home right on the estuary - very comfy beds and lounge and we spent all our time looking at the tide racing in and out. Wonderful to hear the sound of the surf nearby and the proximity to great coffee in the bakery and a good quality Foodworks and tavern was a boon. Great for the doggy and having access to paddle boards and kayak was teriffic. The house is very well appointed, immaculately clean and tidy and we felt at home right away. Many thanks to the owner Anneke!
