Fantastic 70’s

Awesome place to stay. Beds are super comfortable, location is excellent and also private. Communication from property manager was great, check in was so easy. Pool would be better if heated, was a wee bit cold!! Heaps of space. Would absolutely stay again.

Hine Street

Pleasant 3 night stay. We enjoyed the location and the pool. The house is very spacious and cleaned to a high standard. The bed in the main bedroom was very comfortable. The house has a tired feel and could do with updating.

Blast on Hine

We had a fantastic stay at Bach on Hine Street, which offered spectacular views of the beach and was conveniently located near the beachfront walk. The property was spacious, allowing for a comfortable and relaxing environment. A real highlight was the swimming pool, which added an extra touch of enjoyment to our stay.One small recommendation would be to ensure the slider doors are fully accessible to the front decking for easier indoor-to-outdoor access. Overall, this property was a great choice for a beachside retreat, and we’d definitely recommend it.

Blast from the past with a view!

The house was in a great location, easy to find and park. It is very vintage, that said it shows and smells its age. We had entire rooms we could not enter due to the smell of age and dank. Check in and check out were very easy.The kitchen was well equipped and it was great to be able to prepare meals. It was also nice to be able to walk or take a short drive to nearby dining.The beds were all very comfortable and clean. The entire house was clean, just a bit shabby because of the age of carpets. The couches and chairs are very retro and show and smell their age but were still comfortable.The views are AMAZING and we were lucky to have mostly good weather. We did not get to use the pool much because it was a bit colder than normal, but it was a nice, clean pool and a lovely backyard space. As 4 adults we would highly recommend the space, for the price and the fun retro looks. I think that some tiny replacements and furniture deep cleaning would take this beautiful space above and beyond!

Location, a big plus

My husband and I stayed here for five nights. The best thing about this house is its wonderful location so close to town and just a block from the fantastic Coastal Walkway. Although it is not heated, my husband enjoyed the pool and we were both impressed with the way the robotic vacuum kept the pool clean. It is a big house so if you are a big family or large group, the extra room is an asset. The photos do not lie. It is a blast from the past proving that not all decor and furnishings are worth maintaining. The wall-to-wall carpeting even in the bathroom is worn and there is a musty odor permeating the house. Those with allergies should beware. Although the house was vacant the day before our arrival and they were texting access code by noon on check in day, they still charged us an extra $40 to access before 3:00 PM

Back to the Future,

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a very different place to stay, a definite Blast from the Past. Brings back some wonderful memories. Very authentic 70’s place, but still modern and very comfortable.Exactly as per the pics. We really enjoyed our time here.(Shame it was too cold to use the pool).We left a watch behind, and we’re contacted when they found it, great service.

Hine Street

Clean and comfortable and in a good location. It was great having a pool as the weather was quite hot. The only downside was that the property does feel "tired". Just one further comment is that the pool is quite deep (1.5 meters I would think) so not so great for littlies.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What a great location. So close to everything yet really quiet and peaceful. House was huge and really easy to settle into. We loved the pool and only wish we'd had better weather to enioy it more. Maybe advise of visits to property to maintain pool, though. Got a bit of a fright seeing someone out the window unexpectedly, but other than that, it's a great spot. 👍
