Cozy, Coastal and Canine Friendly

Simple little coastal getaway! Just a 2-minute walk to the river and a quick drive to both the dog friendly beach and the calmer swimming spot at The Bluff. The location was convenient - bakery, takeaway and the new Sedgers Reef Hotel were all a short walk. The yard is fully fenced and grassy, with a gated porch. No carpet, easy to keep clean and everything as advertised.

Great spot

If you're looking for a classic beach shack that is close to everything you need then this is the spot. Cute, neat and tidy and well equipped. Nice sized full fenced yard for the dogs and mature, lush gardens for the humans to enjoy while sitting on the porch. Great place that is good value for money

Amazing cottage stay

Our stay at this little iluka cottage was so great! Beautiful house, very clean and stylish. Well equipped! So close to the river foreshore walk and not far to the beach, shops. You can literally walk everywhere. So nice to have our pooch with us and has the perfect size yard. Excellent host too :) Thanks Tatum

Cute cozy cottage

Very charming and comfortable cottage. Has all the necessary things. Close to everything Iluka has on offer. We were blessed to spot dolphins and whales from Iluka breakwall. Magical! It's a place to get away from it all and enjoy peace and quiet.

A Little Gem

Blue Haven was a gem of a find. Clean and comfortable in a great location. It was well equipped with everything you need for a holiday. Being pet friendly, we love that we could stay with our dogs. Both the front and back yard are securely fenced. We ate all our meals on the veranda which had a lovely cool breeze. Hopefully we’ll be back soon.
