While the house was very good in terms of the size and location, the amenities left a lot to be desired.We had booked the place for 7 nights. We arrived late evening after a 11 hour drive to find that there was no milk for coffee in the morning, nor was there any coffee pods available (even if only for the next morning), although there was a machine for them. On querying the manager, she curtly stated that we should go and find a supermarket and buy our own stuff. There was only 1 single ply toilet roll although we were staying for 7 nights. There was only one bin liner with no spares available. The vacuum cleaner did not work (the battery needs changing). So all in all, we were happy with the house, but disappointed with the amenities. It does not cost more than a few dollars to provide some of the above mentioned items which would have made our stay more enjoyable

Merewether Getaway

We couldn't have asked for more in the Merewether Beach House. The location was perfect, with Merewether Beach at the end of the street. The accommodation was very clean and comfortable and exactly as advertised. The kitchen was well equipped with good quality items. The property manager was personable and extremely accommodating, which was much appreciated. Highly recommend this property.

Stunning house and perfect location

The property was even more beautiful than the pictures, with elegant interiors, spacious rooms, and every amenity we could have wished for. The location was perfect—one block from the beach! Communication with the property manager was seamless and timely; they were always available to answer any questions and provided clear instructions for check-in and check-out. The attention to detail in both the home and the service made our experience truly memorable. We can't wait to return.
