Genuine 5 star experience

Great accommodation beautifully presented with attention to every detail. Kitchen was exceptional. Dutchies beach a stone-throw away. Only downsides were steep drive (clearly warned in advance) and BBQ which was in very poor condition and not usable.

Couldn't be better

Perfect house for relaxing, taking in the views and a relatively short walking distance to town. This place was clean, tidy, functional, private and well appointed, was a great place for old friends from Victoria and Queensland to spend a weekend away together, highly recommended.

Hi Glen, Thank You for taking the time to review the property. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. We hope to see you again in the future Team McGrath

The little extras.

Thank you for allowing my family and myself to stay at your beach house. The house is very welcoming and the little extras like body wash and hand soap in the bathroom was very much appreciated. The only downside was the driveway. We have a steep driveway at our home but that one beats ours hands down. Maybe steps. We put steps at the side of the driveway to make it easier to assess the house.

Excellent

Everything was thought of and taken care of here. A stone's throw to the sand, a nice walk to get coffee, and an outlook that balanced singing birds with ocean views. A wonderful stay.
