Anna’s home

The photos don’t do the property justice, Anna was so welcoming and made us feel at home. Only 5 minutes drive to town and so close to the beach, we’ll definitely be coming back.

Perfect for our weekend getaway

Awesome little place for the Wife and I to stay for the weekend, plenty of parking for a big boat aswell as we could fit the 7m boat and ute in without taking it off, granted no other cars were in the way. Thanks for the great accommodation and awesome communication.

Gorgeous little cottage with spectacular views!!

Our stay was…well, it was nothing short of amazing! The tiny cottages were so damn cute and made for a very romantic setting. The view is absolutely breathtaking. Anna was the best host ever! She was so helpful with everything, from activity recommendations to the best restaurants in town (highly recommended Blue Ginger). We felt as though we had great privacy during our stay and felt super comfortable with everything, the neighbourhood is so friendly. All in all, we couldn’t have asked for a better start to a holiday! We will definitely be recommending these tiny cottages to all our friends. Thanks so much Anna, you’ve done an amazing job with these!!!

Lovely place to stay

Absolutely loved staying here! The cabins are cosy and warm with a lovely view. Everything you need is provided and Anna is a super welcoming and friendly host. The beach is a short drive (or walk if you're willing to climb the steep hill back) away and Anna has lots of recommendations for things to do in the area. Thank you for a lovely weekend, we loved it :)

Five stars really aren't enough!

We had the absolute pleasure of staying in these cottages recently. This was our first trip away on our own for nearly 4 years (sad I know..) and we truly couldn't have picked a more perfect home to stay in. With the most gorgeous views from the balcony of the 'living' cottage, everything about this stay was fabulous. Anna, our host, was just lovely with her easy-going attitude and great local knowledge...I can guarantee if you book here, your stay will be amazing! We'll be back for sure!

Delightful cottages

Anna’s three cottages are delightfully quirky. The bedroom and living room cottages are connected by a covered area and the laundry, shower and kitchen wash up area is across the drive so you need to go outside to get to the bathroom- not a problem for us at the weather was lovely and it is summer. The decor is very pleasant and everything is provided from spade for Hot Water Beach, to boogie boards and gas BBQ. We appreciated having separate places to sleep with the double bed in a separate room to the mezzanine bed accessed by a ladder. Anna was very accommodating when we had to change our arrangements due to Cyclone Gabrielle. Fully recommend Anna’s place. I would definitwly stay there again. Thanks a lot Anna
