Beachfront Rest - Absolute Beachfront!

Imagine waking up in the morning to the sound of singing birds, with the sunlight streaming into your bedroom window.

Looking out your bedroom window, through the trees you can see the sun glinting on a calm ocean, lapping at a white sandy beach that lies just 50 metres from the back of the house. You can smell the fresh sea air, and perhaps hear the gentle rolling of the waves. You look down and see the secluded path from your backyard leading to the beach just 50 paces away, beckoning; and all at once the frantic pace of your normally hectic and busy life seems like a million miles away. Welcome to BEACHFRONT REST!

Almost perfect.
The house was great. Unfortunately the weather turned nasry after first couple of days which turned the beach water into mangrove tea colour. So swimming was only for the brave. Otherwise it was a very enjoyable stay.

Perfect beachside stay
We had an incredible stay. House was incredibly clean with lots of thoughtful extras. It is so nice to go away and not have to bring linen. Great space for kids and adults. Our dog was welcomed and had a fabulous stay as well. Hugh is very responsive to messages and any issues. We are already booked again.

Great location and size
This property is in an awesome location and a great size for a family. Disappointing is the cleaning and upkeep of the property e.g. yard is a mess, dead flies and bugs all over the house, multiple light bulbs not working and pretty sure the oven is a safety issue. Also would have been nice to know about the lack of window coverings. Thank you

Great location and well fitted out house
The house, whilst dated, was very well fitted out and had everything you could possible need. The location couldn't be better and having direct beach access was great. Hugh communicated promptly and clearly leading up to our arrival and the whole check-in process was easy. I would recommend this property for anyone looking to have a nice relaxing holiday in Toogoom.

We enjoyed our stay at house with the beach at our back door. Everything you need for a lazy week away. Quiet spot with a couple of great eateries. Owner was very helpful when we had issues with the fridge, he organised a new one immediately.

Excellent budget friendly spot for large groups
Location is fantastic, on walking in house is large and inviting. The cleaner could take a little more time to remove cobwebs and actually clean the toilets and bathrooms properly. It was dissapointing to find the table tennis bats and balls were all broken, as its an easy cheap fix. Downstairs bed is very hard and could be improved. House is well stocked with exception of plastic cups for children, but thats a minor thing. Check in process was simple and easy. I would definately return as great value for money when taking a large family away. We took pets, so be advised take a dog run as no fencing, unless your dogs are well trained, ours were puppies. Hugh called the day prior to confirm and was very obliging. Would have been nice to have internet as we get used to having this everywhere now a days, but understandable why it wasn't supplied as we had three phone providers between us and struggled to get reception in this area on our mobiles. Would recommend this as a great spot if your on a budget and seeking the perfect location just to relax and enjoy the beach with your family.

Superb relaxation
Spacious and well kitted out house. Extremely clean. Stayed in main room upstairs. Comfy bed and great shower pressure. Short walk to the beach and fishing location which was the absolute clincher. Short walk to eateries. Loved our stay and wish we could have stayed longer. Just the break we needed!!

Quiet spot where bush meets beach
This place was perfect for us! Small group of 5, two young ones. Great fishing spots just a skip and stone throw away from the back door. Well known cafe Goody's, was just a short stroll away and did an amazing breakfast. We loved having our furry friends join us on our stay. The house is huuuge and we loved being able to play a game of ping pong at the end of the day.
