"Oceanfront - Port Kembla" Sleeps 10. Great Views
Absolutely perfect spot for our girls’ trip! The water views were out of this world — we spent the morning with coffee and the evening with wine just taking it all in. The house was super clean, stylish, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and fun stay. Our host was amazing — so helpful and friendly, making everything easy from start to finish. Couldn’t have asked for a better getaway. We’re already planning our next trip back!

Secluded beach front retreat with a heated pool
Perfection. Attention to detail- even in the kitchen…we had all the dishes and utensils necessary to cook like a chef at the house! There are even pantry items there- so check on that before running to the grocery store in town because we bought doubles in some things. I’m sure the selections in the pantry will vary. In addition, there may be garden produce ready for the picking!! Make sure and check with the host first- that will be seasonal, I’m sure. Beds are comfortable, showers have hot water, tub with jets is helpful after a day of sight-seeing. As owner notes, it isn’t hot, just warm…but it was still a good experience. Decks overlook bay/ocean- you get to witness the changing colors of the Hazards throughout the day standing over the bay. And if you are wondering- we saw amazing Aurora lights out over the water! Windows everywhere! Just incredible’views- there are no words. And you boy minutes from Swansea. Host has a book with restaurant suggestions. Grocery.❤️

Deepwater Beach House
The house is charming. Designed and built with love. If you need a good dose of nature and tranquillity this is perfect The hosts were excellent. Very thoughtful and expedient in responses to my questions. Nice touch having this rustic place .. yet being able to watch netflix We loved our time here and definitely look forward to coming back. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely place with us. Beverley and Iain

Aerie Retreat
Aerie retreat is a perfect little piece of nature- stunning views, private, peaceful and romantic. The house is cosy and well stocked to cook meals. The hot tub and deck are gorgeous, even in the rain. We saw seals, in the channel, and wallabies and possums on the property. The stairs to the water are steep but worth exploring. The tinderbox forest walk is fantastic and nearby Blackmans Bay is also charming. Would return in a heartbeat.

C l i f f T o p on P a r k unplug & recharge
this is the second time we have stayed here and I honestly have nothing to complain about. everything was perfect , again. We had everything we needed and more. Don't hesitate to experience this homely little surf shack for yourself, in the best part of Tassy.

Cosy beach shack nestled amongst the dunes.
We absolutely loved staying at Fred’s place. It’s the sort of place that would be beautiful to stay at all year round. The location was private, peaceful and still close to wineries, the oyster shack and Swansea. The shack was well thought out and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Bruny Boathouse
We loved Sophie’s place, it exceeded expectations and was everything it claimed and just so relaxing. Sophie was very helpful and if we ever stay on Bruny again it will definitely be here! Thank you so much

The Ocean Retreat - Tasmania
The Ocean Retreat is an absolute pleasure to stay at. The deck and pool overlooking the ocean is what sets this place apart, the view is breathtaking. The heated pool is a great temperature, we used it even though the weather wasn't really warm. The kitchen has great amenities and is well stocked for entertaining. Having two dishwashers and a butlers pantry is brilliant. BBQ is huge! Makes cooking for the family easy. We loved that every bedroom has it's own bathroom/ensuite, makes it great when you have 4 couples staying like we did. All the bedrooms are very spacious, plenty of room for the bassinet and stuff for our infant. The layout of the loungeroom is well considered too, the gas "woodheater" gives all the ambience of a log fire without the mess and warms the area really well. Thank you Nigel and Courtney for a fantastic stay, we hope to be back again soon!
Beach house rentals with a pool

The Beach Ranch - Pool
The pool house was like a home away from home - just more comfortable, beautiful and with a gorgeous soundtrack of crashing waves. The space is so well designed and cozy - and the kitchen well stocked. We loved sitting outside on the balcony for breakfast, and lounging near the pool in the afternoon sun. An absolutely wonderful getaway!

The Gorgeous Tree House
Had a wonderful stay at Carmen’s residence in Cairns in early June. The residence is located about 25 minutes the airport by car as well as the center of town and the marina where you can catch boats for excursions. So, you’ll need to drive or rent a taxi/Uber. The house is located Inside a gated community estate and there’s a code that you’ll need to give any arriving taxis. The treehouse itself was absolutely gorgeous, with three floors, multiple rooms, a pool, and surrounded by lush greenery. It felt like we were in a forest! If you’re adventurous, you can even take a private path to the beach and nearby cafes—but be warned, it can be treacherous! Overall, this was a great find. And our hosts were proactive with messages and suggestions that were quite helpful. The only regret we have is that we didn’t get to spend MORE time here!

Bayview Luxe Entertainer | Pool & World Class View
This property is the best holiday house I have ever been into in Australia. Top notched, meticulous design, warm and high end house.

Modern Beach Shack | Escape for Two W/ Pool
Sadly only a quick one night stay but we loved every minute. Jacqueline has thought of everything and kitchen is well stocked to cook a great meal. We were happy sitting outside to eat & relax and enjoyed the butterflies & birdlife. Looking forward to a return visit, just needs to be longer. Thanks Jacqueline

Dacha on Maggie No #1 First Class Island Luxury
The house was amazing, looked just like the pictures. The views were beautiful, and positioned in a lovely spot where the rock wallabies come right past. Great communication from host Ekaterina and Raymond the property manager was also very helpful. Will definitely recommend to anyone wanting a luxury stay in Maggie and we will definitely be staying there again.

One Airlie Beach... Beyond comparison
We loved our stay, it was big enough to easily accommodate 6 adults and 3 kids with everything you can need. Block out blinds would be great for those wanting to sleep in and the road below is very busy but quiet when all doors are closed. We would absolutely stay again.

Lorikeet Lodge-Panoramic views-private pool
Fabulous getaway spot! Photos do not do this beautiful property justice. Spacious, amazing views and quiet location. Best place to relax and unwind. Beach was beautiful and so close to Arlie Beach to grab supplies. Louise was so prompt and helpful with all communication. Can’t wait to visit again.

I S L E - Mudjimba Beach Relaxed Coastal Home
Absolutely magical stay, we didn’t want to leave. Such a beautiful space that had everything we needed! The beds were incredibly comfortable, the kids loved the pool, kitchen was really well equipped and the location was perfect for us as we had a wedding right around the corner. 5 mins from the beach and cafes too. Will hopefully be back for another weekend stay soon!

Studio Great Ocean Vistas at Monticello Apollo Bay
We loved our stay here in the studio! It’s super cosy and private and was exactly what we were looking for. Would definitely stay again.

Chic Pied-a Terre with Fireplace + Outdoor Bath
Amazing stay! Beautiful place with all the amenities you need to feel right at home. The outdoor bath is a delightful bonus. Great location, very walkable. The host is super friendly and helpful. Can’t wait to come back!

View of Primrose Sands
Beautiful cosy place with the most awesome views. We even caught a glimpse of the whales. Our son couldn’t believe his eyes. It was nice to sit around the fire and relax. We will definitely be back. A big thankyou to Deb, she was absolutely amazing 😊

Bay View Hydeaway Bay
Our stay at Bayview was spectacular. Amazing views from the balcony, perfect place for bacon and egg breakfasts overlooking the islands. Amenities were top notch. Only problem was we didn't want to leave. Will definitely be back again. Thankyou Tanya for being such a great host.

Just a Touch of Paradise !
Shane was amazing to deal with and the accommodation was very clean and such a beautiful space. The kitchen was stocked with everything you would need by way of utensils, etc, and there were pantry items to kick start your stay for those who need coffee to function. :) The outlook was stunning, with dolphins frolicking in the bay that we watched from the lounge room, and it was simply a piece of paradise within paradise. Will definitely be back and be recommending to others.

Mosman retreat close to harbour
Situated in beautiful quiet back street. Long walk down side of house to accommodation under main house. No problem for us but might be a little tough if you are not very ambulant. Fantastic walk down to the water through rainforest like vegetation to the ferry. Amazing. From ferry can get anywhere in the bay area. No kitchen or kitchen sink but they do offer to wash any dishes etc. So no cooking. Lots of food extras. Very happy with stay.

Scribbly Gums - coastal getaway for nature lovers
Absolutely loved our stay at Erica's place! Seriously, it was the cleanest house I've ever encountered in Sydney, which made our trip so comfortable. The proximity to the beach was a dream – we could hear the soothing sound of the waves at night, and as a bonus, we even saw kangaroos and dolphins during our walks to the shore! We really appreciated how well-stocked the house was – they thought of everything! Erica was a wonderful host, and we had such a memorable and fun time. Can't wait to come back!

‘The Lady’ Primrose Sands
The Lady is a cosy and charming waterfront retreat. We had everything we needed. The wood fire, hot tub and indulgent furnishings made it a great winter escape. Everything was spotless and thoughtful. Would love to go back one day.
