My husband and I and our two puppies spent the long weekend here. The place had everything we needed and a relaxing bath as well. It was close to town and fully fenced so our puppies could play outside safely. It is a quaint cottage with all the comforts. We loved our stay and will be back <3
Nestled away in the hub of Byron this place is a wonderful hideaway if you want to be able to walk to restaurants shops and the beach but then retreat away from the hustle and bustle. The lane way behind the properly can get busy during the week if there is work going on, but it was still wonderfully private and the kitchen is well equiped, and a wonderful back yard for our puppy to play in. Large comfy sofa to watch movies on and games in the cupboard for those rainy days! I lovely reading area nestled out the back makes you feel like you are in Bali. Very happy, will come again. Thanks!
Loved the Cottage. Just what we needed so close to town and beaches. We liked that it is tucked away from main road so no traffic noise. Spacious backyard was a plus.
Character filled cottage neighbouring noisey construction site
We loved the house, which is exactly as described- a surfers cottage, short walk to town and beach, and yard for the dogs. Unfortunately we were not told that the house neighbours the Johnson Lane development site at which construction with explosive power tools was underway each day of our stay. Our stay was discounted due to the disruption, but only after we spent time on our holiday contacting the property manager to raise the issue, and after we provided photos of property access being restricted etc.
