Summary: From the moment we arrived at Little Bay Cottage, we felt right at home. A helpful tip for future guests: if you’re arriving in a larger car, we recommend reversing up East Street and into the driveway — we did this from day one and it made coming and going incredibly easy. The cottage itself is set in a truly magical spot. One morning, we were lucky enough to spot a koala lounging in a tree just off the back verandah — right on the property! Kangaroos regularly visited nearby, kookaburras provided a classic Aussie soundtrack, and a walk along the Little Bay Beach bush track even treated us to dolphin sightings. Inside, the cottage is all about slowing down and soaking in the moment. We loved unwinding with books from the shelf, watching DVDs, tuning in to free-to-air TV, and spending time together with the games and puzzles provided. Everything was clean, comfy, and well set up — from the beds and bathroom to the lounge and kitchen. The shower head, which was mentioned in a previous review, looked brand new to us and worked perfectly. The BBQ was easy to use, and the kitchen had everything we needed for relaxed meals. There’s a small patch of internet reception on the far side of the double bed — just enough to look up your next adventure. But honestly, this is the kind of place where you’ll want to disconnect. And don’t miss Little Bay Beach at sunrise — it’s pure magic. If we could buy this place and keep it forever, we would!

Summary: Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location is wonderful, can't be beaten for bush location so close to the beach. We came across many large cockroaches in the cabin. The main living areas where clean but the utensils, cooking ware and plates were grimy. I was surprised at the 9am check out, guests to put out the rubbish and bring bins to the curb on a Sunday night, dishes to be dried and put away and guests to supply own linen and soaps.. given there is a $130 cleaning fee.These things didn't take away from the beautiful surroundings and local walks. But it does seem a bit rich to ask guests to do all these things and checkout unusually early. Overall I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Summary: Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed here several times and this time was just as good. It's a basic but comfirtable cottage and the location is great, just a 5 minute walk to Littel Bay Beach and the headland walks and it is only a few minutes drive to town. The only complaint is the bad smell from the toilet, of urine, which we don;t think was cleaned prior to our arrival. Not ideal but otherwise we had a great stay.
