My family (two adults, 16yo and 10yo) and I were lucky enough to find and book this little cottage back in April 2021 for a three-week holiday in the first half of the summer school holidays, and I'm so glad we did! What a fabulous home. Neat, clean, tidy, so close to the beach, secure yard for our little dog, well-appointed kitchen, great bathroom and water pressure (we especially loved the outdoor shower), and it was so handy to have a washing machine and dryer, as well as an undercover clothesline and outdoor clothesline. And the air-conditioning was a welcome relief on those very humid days but most of the time the fans and open windows were enough to keep the cottage comfortable. We enjoyed South Valla Beach and the creek but also explored from South West Rocks up to Coffs Harbour during our three-week stay, so the location is very central. We took our energetic Jack Russell for a walk along North Valla Baech nearly every evening after enjoying dinner on the deck (the barbecue was handy). The kids even took turns sleeping on the outdoor lounge at night when the weather was cooperative. I highly recommend Matt's cottage to a family or even just a couple, whether for a few nights or a few weeks. Thank you!
