A delightful surf shack

We had the best family holiday staying @ Milly’s. Back yard is gorgeous, kitchen has everything b you need, beds are comfy and most of all you can WALK with your boards to the surf. We loved that! Middleton is a perfect family holiday spot and Milly’s is a genuine shack with a perfectly relaxing vibe.

Great stay for R and R

We have stayed here twice. Both times we have loved our stay. Pros - close to surf, dog friendly, lot of basic cooking utensils, everything you need for a great break. Cons - daybed covered in sticky sap, bunk room seems to get mozzies in there every night (odd) so both visits at different times of the year we have to do a sweep each night, and this time around the outdoor shower, which we all love and frequently use was broken. I reported on the day we arrived, we were told they would see what they could do, but no follow up or it being fixed while there. We went and purchased a wrench so we could still use after a surf. Given it would be a basic fix this was disappointing. Still really loved our stay and would recommend for both singles, pairs and families.

Pricey

Location is great. Sitting outside on the deck is the best part as it is too smelly inside. The cottage smells moldy and the soft furnishing need cleaning or replacing. The main bedroom is very small. We felt it was way too expensive for what we got particularly as linen wasn't included.

Perfect for our family

We loved this beach house. We are a family of surfers, quick walk to the beach, outdoor shower, bakery up the road and a simple home. What more could we want?! Loved there was no wifi, made switching off all tech easier, esp for the teenager. Was a extra I didn’t anticipate. Yard great for the dog and she had fun exploring the garden. Only suggestion I have is to update the outdoor bed picture as kids anticipating cushions and rugs for that space. Also no complimentary wine on arrival which is not a big deal just update website so others aren’t disappointed. Otherwise loved it.

Middleton stay

We come to Middleton every year & enjoy the beach Christmas/new year period. Unfortunately the amenities & cleanliness let this stay down. Being a pet friendly house there was dog hair covering the back couch so much so we couldn’t sit on it. There were cockroaches & ants. We had to go to the shop straight away as there wasn’t even handsoap (even in these times), dishwashing detergent, laundry powder etc. Apart from that we had a wonderful stay & the backyard was lovely.

Loved the deck with the combustion fire. The big back and fully enclosed yard for was excellent for our pooch. Close enough to the beach for a good walk, can still hear the surf and see it in the distance. Enjoyed some of the board games and DVD’s. The property manager was very responsive. It was just the right size for our family of 5. Had an excellent stay, will definitely recommend it.
