The Ultimate Home Away from Home
From the moment we drove into the driveway, we knew this property stay was going to be great. Lovely comfortable and clean home catering to disabled/elderly. A lovely “welcome note” and bottle of wine on arrival. Rachael is a fabulous host. Highly recommended.

Wonderful beach escape at Forster
We all had a wonderful week at Ally's Retreat, including our whippet Sketch. We appreciated the welcome goodies on arrival, soaps, shampoo and towels. The dog supplies were much appreciated & we also really appreciated the well equipped kitchen, which had milkshake maker, coffee maker, blender and lots more. It was just like a family home, so when we reached for something, it was there, and you don't always find that in holiday homes. The Wi-Fi was great, two tvs so the teens had their PS4 games while we had a Netflix movie. All in all, a wonderful place to have a home style beach holiday. Thanks

Fantastic Stay
We had a short but great stay. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. Yard was a good size for our pup, neat and tidy. I loved the sunroom and enjoyed my coffee here each day. Rachael was very helpful and communication with her was excellent. Would love to return one day.
