We stayed at Southerlys for 5 nights in July 2018. It was a fantastic home to stay in and we're so glad we chose it, and would love to stay there again, and highly recommend it.
Some comments about the home: The house is really lovely. It was spotlessly clean, and the property is in excellent condition. It's as good as the photos, if not better. The check-in was easy, with a lock box on the property. The decor is perfect for an Airbnb -- tastefully done, feels warm and welcoming, with far more warmth than a hotel, but not so much that it makes you feel like you're imposing in someone else's space, perfect. The open fire place is fantastic, with plenty of wood in the shed. The bed in the master bedroom is very comfortable, and the linen is really lovely (we didn't use the single beds in the 2nd room, but they looked good too). We stayed here mid-winter (mid July) and I was a bit worried about being cold, but the house is very warm -- the heaters work quickly and warm the house very well, and the open fire place is wonderful. It's incredible to walk out the sliding doors, over the verandah, and walk a few steps on to the beach. It's beautiful to hear the waves on the beach through the day and night. The gum trees surrounding the house are stunning. The image of the gum trees through the round windows will stay with me for a long time to come. Just amazing.
Some comments on Louise: Louise was easy and a delight to deal with. She provided us with helpful information about the house and the area. And she welcomed us to contact her if we needed to. She was wonderful.
From this location, we did lovely day trips around the area. We had the most wonderful time. We highly recommend this home and this host.
