About this cottage rental
Yokoso is a spacious, light-filled studio situated in a private native garden on one of Sawtell's premier streets. The architect-designed, freestanding studio appeals to those who enjoy a no-clutter, no-fuss lifestyle with easy access to surf and sand.
A 5 minute walk will take you to Sawtell's beautiful beach, while the tree-lined main street of Sawtell Village, with a choice of restaurants, bars, cafes and boutiques is only a short 10 minute stroll.
Yokoso's open plan living extends out to patios front and back, making the most of winter sun and cooling summer sea breezes. The large upstairs loft bedroom looks out over Sawtell to the sea. Upstairs there is also a generous walk-in robe and a quiet work station. A well-equipped small kitchen and outdoor barbecue invite cooking that can be gourmet grand or supremely simple.
Sawtell is the perfect holiday destination offering activities for all: bushwalking in the Bongil Bongil National Park, cycling, surfing, snorkelling or just floating downstream at Boambee Creek, a spot popular with the locals for safe swimming and barbecue picnics. Day trips to the historic hinterland towns of Bellingen and Dorrigo delight with spectacular scenery en route. It's all on your doorstep.
Welcome to everything you need for your next getaway.
Features include:
Stainless kitchenette offers cooking facilities and a large fridge. Barbecue, clothes line and pegs, plus under shade parking for your vehicle. All linen including beach towels supplied. Extras include plunger coffee, tea and milk on arrival. Television, DVD and CD player with a selection of DVDs, CDs, books and games. Plus plenty of room to store your bikes or kayaks!

Michele's place was perfect for our stay over the long weekend. It was very spacious and comfortable for my wife and I. It's in a great location, just a couple minutes walk from the beach and Sawtell shops. Michele was a great host, her communication was extremely prompt and she was very accommodating. Highly recommended and would happily stay at again.

Yokoso is a private, beautiful coastal studio for 2 fully equipped with all the necessities for a comfortable coastal stay. It's central location is walking distance to the beach & town centre & is only a short drive to supermarkets. It's proximity to Coffs Harbour, Bellingen & Urunga make it a perfect spot from which to base oneself. Michele & Steve are wonderful hosts who are friendly, accommodating & have a wealth of local knowledge. We totally loved our stay in Sawtell.

Peaceful studio in a vibrant village with great views and close walking distance to local cafes, beaches and town centre

Yokoso was the perfect place to stay for a short work break. Perfect proximity to beautiful beaches & cafes & the cute Sawtell village with Coffs central & Toormina shops a short drive away. Close to airport too. The property was spotless & I loved the minimal architectural style. I scoured the internet looking for a place to stay that wasn’t the typical beach shack ‘tacky’ style and I was thoroughly rewarded by Yokoso & Michelle’s hospitality.

As soon as we arrived at Yokoso we were impressed. Tucked away in a quiet street, surrounded by beautiful gardens and private off street parking. Inside was amazing, beautifully designed, clean, spacious and bright and Michele has thought of everything you need for a stay here whether it be overnight or longer. The bedroom is in the beautiful bright and airy loft which has a view of the ocean, there are a couple of peaceful outdoor areas to sit and have a coffee and watch the local bird life close up, and it is a quick 5 min walk to the beach or 10 min walk to town. The check in/ out process was easy and Michele checked in with us a couple of times via phone call and text to see if everything was ok and also to recommend some local eating places which we appreciated. Thank you Michele, your place is absolutely beautiful, would definitely recommend and we will be sure to stay here again when we visit Sawtell.

This is one of the loveliest self-contained properties that we have stayed. Light, airy, sea views, rainforest views, and a overall feeling of calm and serenity. I loved utilising the eclectic range of cookware, though everything I needed was at hand. The bedroom area is light and spacious with a super comfortable bed. Private outside spaces to enjoy, and somewhere to park our e-bikes. Good access to Sawtell township, coastal walks, and bike paths to Coffs. Highly recommend.

My husband and I are frontline healthcare workers who wanted to have our first holiday in over 2 years. We booked this property for 2 nights, but local flooding blocked the roads so we got stranded and could not reach the place until late on the second day.
As the studio was empty the next day, the owner did offer to let us stay on for one night. After explaining we could not take up her offer because we had to return to work, she refused us any refund or even a credit and quoted Stayz cancellation policy to us.

The studio was spotlessly clean and tastefully furnished. Very easy to find and close to everything for a good break in Sawtell.
If I have to be picky, the bed can perhaps do with a new mattress and the floor mat in the lounge should have a underlay. Nonetheless, thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely love to go back soon!
