We were looking for a quiet and tranquille place for our post-Christmas and New Year's break. We have a puppy who is extremely frighten of fireworks. We also wanted a place which is a great base and within 30min drives of dog-friendly 24h offleash beaches (Diamond Beach, Black Head Beach, Old Bar and beaches in Forster - although not all are 24h offleash). We got this and so much more! Chantal and Paul's place is in an amazing setting with views to the ocean. The whole building is making the most of mother nature with all windows providing natural light and the louvres allowing an amazing airflow that we didnt miss an aircon. The nights are dead quiet and dark except for a very stary sky. Definitely use the outdoor shower - AMAZING! The house was very clean and had everything we needed. Chantal and Paul were super responsive before and during our stay and offered top-ups for milk, coffee, bread etc. We very much enjoyed our 6 nights there and would highly recommend the place.
