Short Beach Escape
We stayed with our two children (8 & 6) for 4 days who loved being across the road from the beach and had a great time exploring. Very comfortable accommodation with great bay views. The front deck was great to sit and takebinbthe views while the kids played on the lawn. Enough space for a small family and a nice ride / walk to town.

Another great stay!
This is either our 4th or 5th stay at 60 The Esplanade. We love this location, the views, the owner is fabulous to deal with, and sometimes there are bonus seals to see sunbaking on the rocky outcrop a few meters offshore! Extended family can always find several other accommodations nearby so we can all meet up for meals. It can't get more perfect than that!

Never disappoints
Third or fourth stay now over the years. Cant fault the location or the place. Views to die for. Would love a washing machine at location as that’s the only thing we think it’s missing.

Home away from home
A lovely clean bright and airy well equiped home away from home in a lovely quiet location. Our old dog was very happy! However I am sure the original website on the basis of which I booked last year said linen was provided. Two days before we went we had an email saying don’t forget the linen. We do not have doonas at home so had no doona covers, just sheets. As elderly travellers we do not book anywhere where we have to make up beds or provide our own towels. Even if there is an extra charge this place would be perfect if linen were provided

Pleasant stay..
Property was clean inside. Outside, back and front yards were very untidy. No weeding or mowing had been done for a while. Good yards for dogs and kids if grass had been shorter. Well equipped kitchen. When packing your linen, don't forget to add an extra towel or bath mat. Over all, we enjoyed our stay.

Great Beachfront Location
What a beautiful place to relax for a couple of days. Enjoyed everything about our stay, especially sitting under the verandah people watching. We loved it so much we thought we better come back before Christmas, so rebooked again today. What a Gem!

Love the deck
We stayed for 3 nights in April 2023. It was easy to book, check in was fine. The front deck was used more than anywhere else in the house - we sat and watched the water and the boats for hours. We’re now planning our next stay. Thank you.

Perfect weekend getaway
Perfect location and home thank you for having us. Minor - We would recommend having an option to add linen and towels as not everyone has the correct linen sizing. Also found a few of the kitchenware was slightly dirty would recommend a full clean out frequently of dishes. Other than that it was 11/10 and highly recommend!!
