10/10 Excellent

"Such a beautiful sanctuary for a relaxing weekend away. Scenic views, a warm fire pit, private jetty access and plenty of activities to slowly pass the time (kayak, fishing, board games, cooking facilities). My partner said it was one of the best weekends she has had "

8/10 Good

"Clean and fresh with very comfy beds. The kitchen had everything we needed for a short stay, and a lovely fresh fruit bowl, a loaf of bread and some yummy gluten free biscuits. Butter and milk in the fridge.The only issue I had was I was cold! Yes, there is a reverse-cycle airconditioner in the living area, but no other heating, not even in the freezing cold bathroom.The bed was nice and warm though.It was peaceful and quiet and has a nice outlook and yes, Kookaburras calling in the morning.I'd probably stay again but not in Winter!"

"We had a lovely stay. Thank you "

Ocean Ridge at Killcare by HolidayCo.

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here for 2 nights, being 2 couples plus 2 dogs. And we all loved it! Easy walk down to Killcare beach (dog friendly for a large section of it) although a bit harder coming back. Easy drive to lots of lovely places too. The Inclinator came in very handy, as the stairs are steep and plentiful, but a great workout!The house is very clean, comfortable and has everything you need. Modern bathroom, kitchen and nice linens too. We loved having meals on the deck, overlooking the ocean, and the living room and bedrooms all have spectacular views, too.We hope to come back again soon, an excellent holiday house for people and dogs alike!"
