Relaxing and convenient

We stayed here as a family of adults and had an amazing time. Being a short trip from Sydney to maximise our break time, it still feels very removed from the city and surrounds. The spaces and yard were wonderful for spending time in, and the water views and access were perfect!

We needed a house big enough to fit us all and this house did not disappoint.. plenty of beds for everyone. The main area of the house was just gorgeous , super spacious and bifolds opening onto a huge deck that led down to the private jetty. It was the perfect house in the perfect location for our fathers 92nd birthday!!

Fabulous property for large group

Thank you for sharing your amazing property Bron! We celebrated my father’s 80th birthday with a weekend away at this property. The house and studio had plenty of room for everyone. The large kitchen had everything we needed to cook up our family roast and the second oven in the studio was a god sent. The boys fished all weekend off the jetty catching fish, octopus and even a mud crab. The outdoor fire pit was lovely and even the dog had a blast. Not to mention the amazing views of Phegans Bay. Highly recommend.

Girls Xmas get togther

Place was great plenty of room for everyone. All the girls loved it. Unfortunately the weather was great for us to fully enjoy the wharf and firepit but having the outdoor patio with such a great view was lovely. Happy to share some pics if you like. Only negative was communication on getting in. Was no mention of the gate entry which is where we were looking for the key box. Maybe also put small mat inside door as in wet weather it was very slippery

Illoura provides everything for the most wonderful weekend away. Caters well for 3 families, with water views from the deck and close to shops and the beaches.

Everything we wanted....plus more

Wow.....what an awesome home. The view as soon as you open the front door is amzing. The house has everything you need, is spacious and was very clean and tidy. We booked for a family catch up to celebrate our mums 70th and mum loves fishing so Illoura was perfect with its own jetty. Caught some good size whiting, some bream (throw backs as undersize) and a mud crab. Our elderly parents occupied the granny flat which was ideal as it gave them their own space. Bonus that we could bring my sisters furbaby. Really enjoyed our weekend and would hesitate to recommend. Will be back for more family catch-ups as we loved it. Thank you Bron.

Wonderful realxing holiday with a water view

The house was fantastic. Great location for us. It was very clean spacious and inviting. We are a family group that likes to cook and eat together. The kitchen was great and very well provisioned. There was a huge table to eat at that sat 12 easily and enough room to put food in the middle. The view from the lounge/ kitchen and verandah was just lovely. We'll be back

Family get together

Perfect spot for a family who loves fishing 🎣 the jetty was perfect on high tide & the fish were biting. The lounge/dining area was well appointed & we could all sit together on an extra large industrial dining table with one side having a bench seat that the kids all fitted on comfortably. The kitchen has everything you need, with large bench spaces & more than needed appliances. The sink however needs to be looked at as it would not hold water, it continuously drained & the tap was loose. The couches in the TV area were comfortable & inviting. The back deck area allowed for late afternoon refreshments with perfect water views. The main house bedrooms & bathrooms are clean, comfortable beds & restful. Was disappointed with the bunk beds, one of the top bunks was unusable as there wasn’t a ladder & the bed was not made up, which indicated that it was unsafe. A mattress was placed in the room for one to sleep on the floor. The detached studio which is a great space for a couple with its own ensuite would have been ideal, however the doona had pet hair on it which also went through to the sheets. A trip to Kmart to buy a doona & sheets was required. Apart from those few negatives we all had a lovely time together.

Beautiful outlook, excellent cross-breeze when the days were hot.

A beautiful outlook and so peaceful. Very comfortable beds. Large sized bedrooms. Plenty of table/dining space to accommodate a large family of 12 and the kitchenware was abundant. The granny flat is perfect for the grandparents who like a bit more quiet to escape the chaos. We had two hot days, 32+ degrees Celsius so the fans were a relief and the cross-breeze was wonderful in the afternoon when the front door and back doors were opened. The outdoor deck, stairs and grassed area is perfect to provide some space from each other. A very pleasant stay.

A beautiful place to relax

Illoura on the Bay is a relaxing hideaway. We loved getting out on the water in kayaks and sitting on the deck to watch the light change over the bay. House is comfortably appointed. We loved being able to take our four-footed friends with us. We'll be back!
