About this house rental

Relax, Unwind and Escape to Ripples by the sea. Whether you're into whale watching, surfing or simply exploring the caves, this is the place for you!

Enjoy being directly opposite the beach, making it the perfect destination for a summer getaway or cosy winter retreat. With two separate living spaces, this home can accommodate families or larger groups with ease. Private pool, full amenity kitchen, and stunning views of the ocean will create everlasting memories.

This spacious home, originally built in the 1970s, has undergone internal renovations to maximize its space and take full advantage of its prime location. With six bedrooms, breath taking 180-degree ocean views, and a private pool, you'll find yourself completely immersed in a waterfront paradise. And the best part? Your furry friends are welcome too, with a simple application process and a small fee.

On the upper floor, you'll find the primary kitchen, fully stocked with all the cooking essentials you'll need during your stay. Downstairs, there's another kitchen designed to make your life easier. It's perfect for brewing that morning cup of coffee as you relax on the plush sofas, all while enjoying the stunning view. Plus, it's well-equipped for your BBQ sessions, so you won't have to make any trips upstairs for supplies.

This house offers not one but two separate living areas. They're great for hosting get-togethers or for when you just want some alone time. The upstairs living space also leads to a covered sunroom where you can sit and soak in the view. Whether you're a large family or a group of friends traveling together, this setup caters to everyone's needs.

There are three bathrooms in the original condition but they are neat, tidy, and practical for large groups. The laundry has a washing machine for your use

Right opposite beautiful Caves Beach, we had a long weekend in this older style house. It had everything we needed for a relaxing break.

Winter stay, wet weather. Location, size and bedding all good. Kitchens, bathrooms, floors were clean but....this property has a lot of neglected and poorly maintained areas which were not up to the standard we'd expect for the price. Lighting poor, woodwork sticky and damaged, "sunroom" has major leaks(floor wet and slippery),crockery plentiful but unhygienically 'threadbare', etc. We did see evidence of recent painting but much more needs to be done before we'd consider going back for the price charged.

Lovely location, awesome view, located across the road from beach access. Pleasant neighbourhood with 2 nice cafes and grocery stores within walking distance. Bed configurations were great, beds had clean sheets and pillow and suited a big group. A few negatives such as it has dated interiors and fitouts, ground floor lounge heating was not working properly and fan in one of the 1 level rooms was real noisy on a higher speed. Overall, a lovely property with a responsive and polite property manager. It sure warrants a repeat visit.

Great spot right on the beach.

Great spot right on the beach.

Property is a bit outdated but relatively clean for the size and had everything needed for our stay. Excellent location, across from the beach and only a 10min walk to local shops/cafes. Host was friendly and easy to talk with if needed.

We stayed here on a mulit-generaltional family holiday. We had a fantastic time, helped by the large space of this house and its fantastic location right opposite the beach. We'd definitely stay here again.

Excellent location but not well maintained. Ensuite has no WC. So only 2 WC for 12 guests.uest

Excellent location but not well maintained. Ensuite has no WC. So only 2 WC for 12 guests.uest

1. Very good location. That was the one and only positives about this property 2. Very old and very very poorly maintained property. 3. There is a nearly no mobile network from any of the carrier in and around the property. 4. It took nearly an hour to find out the WiFi details due to difficulties in making phone calls to the property manager. 5 No fan in the toilet 6. The privacy locks were not working in the toilets/bathrooms. That made it very difficult when there were more than ten people staying at the property 7. There were only a couple of toilet rolls for 10+ people staying for two nights. We had to buy our own toilet rolls from IGA. Couldn't be any worse. 8. Pool was not heated so it was useless for us. 9. There were no robes in most rooms for hanging our clothes. 10. Property looks and feels very run down especially from inside. How silly it was that out of two ceiling lights one was a warm white and another a cool white in the same room. 11. Generally unclean with cockroaches in kitchen cupboards. 12. Furniture of poor quality. One of the bedrooms upstairs had 2 single beds of different heights. Overall, Disappointing. 2 out of a score of 10.

Great spot for a Summer holiday

Great spot for a Summer holiday

The house is huge, downstairs was a self contained two bedroom unit, living spaces and bedrooms are all large. Upstairs is another four bedroom self contained apartment that could easily accommodate two families. The poll and bbq are good. The kitchens were well stocked with appliances. The location is excellent, great views of the ocean across the road from a patrolled beach. The caves are great to explore. Our family had a great Christmas holiday

We were three dads with our teenage sons. This place was awesome. Loads and loads of space. Just opposite the beach with great views. Two massive living areas with comfortable couches. Shockingly good value for money. If I had one minor complaint it would be that the BBQ was very dirty and after 2 minutes the gas ran out. But otherwise it was a huge win and we would love to.come back.

My only criticism; the house could have had a more detailed clean, other than that, Big house, plenty of room, great views, walking distance to local amenities. I would book this house again.
