Beautiful Home!

This is a beautiful, spacious, and quiet home surrounded by lovely lawn and grounds. It’s well suited for a short car ride to see the penguins, dolphins, and other sights in and around Curio Bay. We had a very enjoyable stay!!

Spacious, warm (well insulated!) property. We were especially grateful for the pet-friendly policy, which allowed us to get away for a family break with our dog. Gertie really appreciated the opportunity to come away with us. Thank you. Highly recommend.

Great house with everything you need. Easy to walk around the area. Didn’t receive check in code so was lucky the neighbour contacted owner and we were able to access house. Very comfortable and would love to come and stay for a week next time.

The location is a short drive to Curio Bay, hence the reason we selected. It’s a big, clean house with no WiFi. The kitchen items are random, stovetop is rusted, and sofa is very worn in. Bathroom appears upgraded with good hot shower. Communication was excellent.

Very spacious 3‑bedroom house. The washer and dryer were great after we finished an overnight Doubtful Sound cruise. At first our clothes were still damp even after quite some time in the dryer, but we eventually realized the lint screen needed a serious clean! There is no Wi‑Fi, but for a simple overnight stay that was fine for us.

It was a very nice comfortable house. Enough beds for families with kids and cozy setting for couples too. Laundry facilities were nice since we stayed here in the middle of a long trip. Felt like home and I would recommend for everyone.

I love this property. But i think this would be difficult to access without own transportation. The property has no wifi but i understand why. Overall, very good accommodation. Everything was provided for too - from kitchen to laundry.

A beautiful home in a relaxed and peaceful setting. Well-appointed and comfortable. I immediately felt rested on entering the front door. Depending on the day, there may not be any dining options available in the small township. There was no house number at the front gate but only two properties in the street with the other property being numbered.
