Three bedroom lowset house surrounded by bush and native wildlife.
Relax and enjoy this private, low-set home whilst being surrounded by native birds, kangaroos at your back door and the soothing sounds of the ocean. Quality furniture and appliances throughout - you won't want to leave!
Backing onto bushland and overlooking the level yard and garden, enjoy sitting on the north-east facing covered deck soaking up the peace and quiet and wildlife. There’s a fully fenced yard for your dogs which is also nice and secure for the young ones. Just a few hundred metres to the fabulous Home Beach, Cylinder Beach, or a few minutes’ drive to Main Beach where you can fish and drive the beach (with a 4x4 wheel drive). Stroll down the road and enjoy a sundowner at the Straddie Pub, or a coffee and some lunch at one of the cafes.

Second time that myself, daughter and family have stayed at this property. It has met all our needs. It is private with plenty of wild life and still within walking distance of the beach. The property is fenced so we are able to take our small family dog.
The property was private off the street. Quiet but you could listen to the sea at night and view plenty of wild life. The house was more than adequate and well positioned with quality furniture and fittings.
Could do with a deeper clean, rather than just surface level. I had to do some cleaning on arrival before my friends arrived. It was challenging to get hold of people over Christmas and with limited signal, but they did send a cleaning manager around on Christmas Eve to respond to my concerns, which was very welcome.

I booked this rental for nine nights in October and it was perfect for what I was looking for. Sometimes you can feel nervous about your booking but this holiday rental exceeded my expectations. Everything I needed was there - it is presented beautifully, quite, private but close to everything you need. Absolutely loved it :)

We enjoyed our stay in Melaleuca 3. The location is central to Point Lookout, and you can enjoy the peace, quiet, and wildlife. Saying hello to the kangaroos and kookaburras each afternoon was a treat for our young daughters.

We had a great week long vacation with our dog Kirra. Really easy to walk straight down to home beach for a swim!
House was great. excellent location, close to 4WD beach access. House was clean. outdoor area was great for the dogs. Only criticism - no Wifi / internet availability terrible. Family with kids, wifi is needed. Also, only one air con in lounge area, no air cons in bedrooms. Ceiling fans throughout house that worked well.

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
The house itself is modern and in a beautiful and quiet location. However, when we arrived 2 of the beds were full of dog hair and blood stains (the actual fresh sheets), the pillowcases yellow, there were beard hairs in the bathroom and the floor was literally black when we wiped it with wet wipes and also had dog hair and dog food everywhere. Ray White did send cleaners but the floor was still dirty and the sheets hadn't been changed, so they had to come back again.Reception is pretty much non existent - which can be a good thing for some I guess.
The house was a good space and easy for a family. Loved having kangaroos right out our back door. Would definitely stay here again. Only negatives was no doona covers on doona on the double beds and doonas very stained/old looking and shower had green mould. Also having to take own washing up liquid/hand soap and asked to take own toilet paper. Overall though for the price a good place to stay.

Fantastic modern family holiday home in quiet private setting. Great for kids! Only constructive feedback is TV reception and age and size of TV is lacking quality compared with other great features of the home or similar homes in same rental market.
This house was clean, comfortable, quiet, dog friendly and in a great location. Easy to park 2 cars. We used barbecue 1 night with friends who were staying nearby - it’s a great entertaining area. Very enjoyable stay

Found Melaleuca 3 when searching for a pet friendly option. Booked for an absolutely wonderful week. A beautiful, peaceful setting, with many different bird calls and bird watching opportunities all day, with kangaroos also visiting the yard. Easy walk to Home Beach for a dog friendly off leash adventure. We brought our own enclosure to safely fence off the side yard. I had no complaints about the accommodation and would definitely book again, but some things to consider include: the shower/bath access may not be suitable for older visitors or those with disabilities; no internet included, and Optus coverage is generally SOS to 1 bar of 3G; washer, but no dryer.
Easy walks to bushland and beaches. Lots of wildlife around like roos in the backyard. Easy parking under cover. But there is next to no mobile phone signal and no wifi internet. The TV reception is also terrible on a very small screen. I think guests should be made aware of these restrictions. Coffee pods were wrong size for machine. Bathroom plug in the sink got stuck. The portable heater the only heating there didn't work easily as it seemed to need to be programmed via the panel on it but it had no instructions. The bedding had some ugly spots on it.
