Top Lion Island Nature Reserve Hotel Reviews

Pearl Bliss, a sundrenched, secluded oasis 200m from spectacular Pearl Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely beautiful property. Comfortable, clean, well-appointed; everything you need for a relaxing holiday."

Pearl Beach Semi - 2 min to sand & sea – Lilly

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely loved this place. Everything was great, really, but highlights definitely are proximity to beach, peaceful - no noise neighbourhood, backyard area - gorgeous, lush and shady, and the retro furniture, took me back to my youth in the 70’s, very special, lovingly cared for pieces of furniture. Best part was that the whole place was super clean. I’d love to return."

Mantra Ettalong Beach

8/10 Good

"Great location"

'Seabreeze' a unique Waterfront/Beachside property

10/10 Excellent

"Had an absolutely awesome stay at this property, awesome views, very clean, well stocked kitchen (with an Air fryer) and the host (Graham) was fantastic greeting us, showing us around the property and suggesting some things to do in the areas. We also loved their photo books they created of the area, very nice idea.We Wwill be back."

Nightcap at Ocean Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This place is a great way to stay in the heart of the central coast . Beautiful beaches walking distance , great coffees at quirky cafes . A lovely room , dinner if you wish . Don’t want to recommend too much , might become popular!"

Moso House with Heated Pool, Sauna + Cold Plunge

10/10 Excellent

"From the minute I opened the front door to walk in to such a beautiful home, the perfume, the warmth, the styling…everything was outstanding and more than what I expected.I had my children come for my birthday and it was the most perfect weekend and exactly how I had imagined it would be.Carla responded almost immediately to any questions that arose.Hope I can stay at Moso house again very soon 100/10"

Salt and Stone Modern Pearl Beach Stay 2 Mins to Ocean

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stay at the property, but realised we didn't pay enough attention (it was mentioned in the listing) to the fact that the backyard is not enclosed at all on the side closest to the road (i.e. completely open to the road). So we could not let our dog out into the backyard unsupervised in case he escaped. Otherwise the kitchen was well equipped and there was heating in the living area, which was a bonus."

Pearlie @ Pearl Beach, NSW. Retro Beach House. 5 minute walk to beach.

8/10 Good

"Everything was ok, good size for a couple or two adults and kids. Not really enough room for 8 people as the lounge room is small with only a two seater and one chair. Plenty of room outside so great for summer. Only negative was the size of the ensuite, hardly any room to move and definitely needs exhaust fans with heat globes in the winter as the steam from the shower made it hard to breath once you got out. Not really pet friendly as pets have to stay outside. Other than that it’s a nice property and great location.Enjoyed our stay."

Rest - Pet Friendly with Outdoor Bath - 3 Mins Walk to Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely little space.Great little coffee shop 2min down the road with the beach at your door step."
