Louise's house in Wye River is truly an older style beach shack. It was fun due to the deck and open fire, good BBQ and lots of crockery in the kitchen. Some facilities are lacking but may not bother some people. There is no washing machine so for a 2 week stay this was a problem. There is also no microwave and gas oven and cooktop are very average and slow. House structure is old and bathroom and toilet are outside so night time negotiating of outdoor stairs in various weather conditions is not ideal. Only suitable for older children or adults. Lots of animal noises which is nice, but can be noisy and possums seem to be an issue. Also bugs are a problem so keep all doors shut all the time which is the case with any house in the bush. Steep walk to the beach so you need to be fit, otherwise drive the 500 metres. General store is great and you can get great coffee and food.
