We had a lovely summer stay at this house. The granny flat provides a cool retreat during warm summer days.

Lovely property in fantastic location. We were just a little disappointed with the standard of cleaning as the windows were dirty, kitchen bench sticky, oven needs clean and cobwebs in some of the rooms. Overall a great place to stay as very comfortable but just needs a little tlc.

Excellent choice for a sibling reunion, the house had a great atmosphere and the village of Catherine Hill Bay is well worth visiting. Thanks to the hosts for presenting a clean, well-set-up and charming house!

Lovely spot, lovely house
The property was spacious and comfortable, with four bedrooms, a studio and a large garden. We enjoyed walking along the beach across the road, riding our bikes, and a drink at the 'Catho.' Martin tried very hard to get the internet working the one day that it didn't, due to what turned out to be a local outage. We could never get the oven to work despite the available instructions and some assistance from our helpful neighbour, who is also the property manager. A comfortable, spacious home.

Beautiful house and perfect location
We had such a lovely week at Catherine Hill Bay and would definitely stay here again. The house fitted us all perfectly (family of 6), it had a very well equiped kitchen and the hosts were very accommodating with our last minute request which we really appreciated. Thank you!

The Beach House
Location was fantastic. Great area and terrific location to the beach. Lovely big back yard. Excellent balcony upstairs with a good view of the beach
Really spacious for 3 couples
Well equipped kitchen
The property does need some TLC. Broken blinds, door handles falling off, windows unable to open, dirty carpets and marks on walls, dirty windows. We did find it grubby
One shower between six - not so great
Having said all that we did like it. It was well Priced and all about the location- just needs a good freshen up

Superb Location
Brilliantly positioned just across the beach. This large home was very comfortable for two families by utilising the studio out the back as well. The beds were comfortable and the house was well appointed. It is an older property and some areas are a little tired but it was fine for a beach house. There is no air-conditioning in the main house and many windows/doors do not have flyscreens so in order to get a cooling breeze the mozzies are horrendous. The house either needs flyscreens or air-conditioning. Otherwise a great place to stay.

Property photo's don't really live up to the property however had a great time
Little things could improve this property, its a lovely house and a great location but tiered and needs some TLC - making sure there are matches available. kitchen organized better, taking away chipped glasses, and updating blinds and curtains would make a big difference.

Beautiful spot
Beautiful location and so close to a lovely beach. Lots of places to drive too for something to eat or a picnic. There are lots of mozzies so bring your own repellent! Martin and Virginia were very quick to respond to any of my questions and the neighbour John was lovely and even put the bins out for us!

We just had a wonderful winter weekend at the Beach House. This is a beautiful house, with possibly the best location of any property in the town - right opposite the beach, and with a view from the balcony / terrace upstairs. Wood fire kept things cozy, although plenty of heaters and electric blankets to keep us all warm throughout the house. Also worth noting that the kitchen is really well equipped and beds were really comfortable.Amazingly, the water was warm enough for the kids to swim (go figure?!), and we wished we could have stayed for longer.(sorry we left with the keys!)

Catherine Hill Bay Weekend
"Morning Martin and Virginia,
Thank you for allowing us to share your home, it was absolutely perfect for our gathering.
The beds were clean and comfy and everyone was well rested.
I hope you were happy with the way we left your home and hope we will be welcomed back in the near future as we had a wonderful weekend."

A seaside treat!
Absolutely perfect location for the beach!! The Beach house was a very spacious and comfortable home that provided a variety of spaces for guests to come together and enjoy, as well as have a quiet space if they needed to be on their own.
Fantastic open space in the large kitchen, with double door pantry and wide fridge. Excellent amount of bench space to prepare meals for the many guests.
Balcony upstairs is a great hideaway with its 10 seater outdoor table! A great private lookout for the beach as well.
Communication with the owner was excellent. Very prompt response for each query I had! A few minor issues that were immediately and professionally addressed, and even offered compensation for. Martin was a great host! I would highly recommend this house for guests to want to have a relaxed “go with the flow” seaside treat!

Relaxing weekend accomodation
Great location across the road from the beach. House was spacious, clean and very relaxing. Beds were very comfortable and there was heaps of heating. We 6 ladies celebrated our friends 50th together on a rainy weekend in a comfortable and relaxed manner. Easy walk to the famous Catho Pub for lunch and great kitchen facilities for a home made dinner at night. Thanks Martin and Virginia.
