Such a fabulous, warm, cosy inviting home. Felt so easy to just be and simply relax. Great spot for walking locally and hiking and exploring the south of the peninsula. Absolutely loved it!
A family of four adults spent four nights in this welcoming home that had everything we needed. Emus and kangaroos grazed on a reserve area to the rear of the home morning and night, and bird life abounded.
We were very happy with our stay and could not fault the home and the amenities provided.
An eclectic and rustic house with serious beach vibes, this house was perfect for our stay at Marion Bay. The highlight was the back deck & garden which was full of birds and lizards. We were even treated to a visit from an old man emu and his six chicks! What a treat!
Cute enough house, comfy beds, good location for beach-Innes National park and other local spots. Loved the rustic deck, reserve in the back. The house needs a good clean, looked okay not great on entry, the longer you stay the more you notice has not been really cleaned well for a while, especially in any of the corners, under, trickier bits. Also is pretty lacking supplies in the pantry, bathroom had hand soap and that was it. Was a nice stay and we enjoyed it we both said ( not a couple, used 2 rooms) It’s a cute place, little crusty but nice vibe.
Great place to stay, loved the outdoor area. Need more tongs for BBQ and could not find a first aid kit though, and dishcloth. Great reception for internet and netflix, thanks.
Thank you we had a great stay. The dog somehow got out of the enclosure while we were out on the last day. Not entirely sure how it happened so it may need to be reinforced or checked for future guests.Thank you for your hospitality
We had an amazing stay, great spot beautiful little home with all the comforts needed. Kids loved the freedom and space outside. Will definitely be back
We stayed for 3 nights with family who are over from USA for first time in Australia.
House was a great base for exploring Innes National Park.
Pub was great for meals.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and recommend the property.
