We have enjoyed many weekend getaways at The Running Postman over many years. The fact that we keep coming back is testament to the great all-round experience it is; great host, love the eco features, attention to detail and beautiful location that offers both rural and seascapes. We can't beat it for a relaxing getaway.

The location was misleading, not advising of surrounding direct neighbours. Loss of power during last night, eventuating in the need to leave early following morning - due to refrigerated items, unable to charge phones etc… No reply from owner re issues…

Beautiful house and location, spacious for 4 adults. Comfy lounge and two outdoor decks. Relaxing on the front deck in the deck chairs was lovely. Beach walks both days as the beach was so close. Great selection of games and some dvds. Cupboards stocked with plenty of crockery and glass wear. Would definitely recommend.

We used this property as a venue for a friends' weekend away. Although not having wi-fi or reliable internet (Vodafone, particularly) was something to get used to, it eventually ended up being a blessing in disguise. (If you are needing net access for work / streaming music etc., you probably want to be a Telstra customer!) House is beautiful, beds are super comfy, herbs in garden are a lovely touch. Will definitely be back.

We loved our stay at the running postman. The house was lovely with big open windows to enjoy the views of the hills and only a short walk down to the beach. Everything was clean and tidy and included anything we may have needed. Kirstin was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. We hope to return again.

I took my mum (85) away on our annual holiday. We had the best time, relaxing! The house was wonderful and airy and one with nature. We love the feel and space and we’re very at home. All the comforts of home. Such a pretty area to explore or just sit with a cuppa! Perfect retreat.

Warm and Bright - A convenient drive for everything you’ll need on a break.

Lovely modern property on the main drag of Carrickalinga, quick walk to the beach, peaceful surroundings. A great selection of movies, board games and books if you find yourself wanting a stay in holiday. Gas stove and all the kitchen equipment you need to make a full meal if you need to. 2 bathrooms (one ensuite, one bathroom) so you’d be well equipped for a stay of a family. Lovely backyard for a bit of privacy with fruit trees and a small herb garden, cute little bird bath out the front which you can observe the local variety of birds flying in to sample. Lovely stay all round, thanks guys!

Loved our stay!

Loved our stay!

The Running Postman was the perfect place for us (6 adults and 2 kids). We made use of the well-equipped kitchen, the slow combustion fire, the sheltered outdoor area where we ate most of the time, and the vast array of board games - we were wanting for nothing ….it’s a very comfortable house and we loved our stay there.

Was only at the property for 30 mins before returning home

Upon arrival noticed dust on the picture frames. dust was also caked on the fire extinguishet ib the kitchen Main bedrooms light switch was covered in fly droppings. The floor lamp next to the bed covered in thick layers of dust. The bathrooms had mould mould around the sinks drains. We felt very unlean after walking into the property and left after the wife started having panic attacks. We tried to call the owner, over the phone didnt even dial through. UPDATE: after 3 weeks calling vrbo and stayz a full refund was REFUSED by the owner. Unfortunatly i an unable to load photos in the review i have seen that everyone else has enjoyed their stays, best of luck.

Comfortable and relaxing stay.

A peaceful and comfortable place for a small holiday or a weekend away. The accommodation has a nice balance between comfort and being environmentally friendly. Front yard with predominantly native plats attracts a variety of local birds and friendly critters. Back yard, practical and neat. Excellent property management and communication makes it for an easy 5 stars review.

We enjoyed our stay at the Running Postman, the house (especially layout and environmental/sustainable focus) was lovely as was the location. We had a few issues but communication with the owner was excellent. Just a note to future guests make sure you keep the fire going in winter or the hot water will be freezing!We would definitely return and would recommend to friends and family.
