Relaxed and cosy

We loved our stay here! It is an amazing view and we immediately felt comfortable in the cosy and relaxed setting. Fire was a win for winter. We enjoyed playing games, doing puzzles and our regular outings to the general store for great coffee and the beach for walks. Our dogs loved it too although our little old one didn’t have a great time up the steps! But we all had a great time and will definitely be back if you’ll have us :)

Excellent weekend awau

This little house was a lovely, warm winter escape. The wood fire was a highlight, and it pumped out the heat! We weren’t cold at any stage. The kitchen was well equipped, the beds very comfortable (with electric blankets), and beautiful ocean views from both bedrooms. The back patio area can be blocked off to stop dogs wandering but the grassed area was unfenced. An easy five minute walk to the beach, and an extra minute over the bridge to the store or pub for dinner. We had such a lovely, relaxing stay…I look forward to another winter break there again.

Beautiful veiws

Property was well stocked with essentials needed. Clean & tidy. Short walk to the beach and beautiful views. Only downside was property is stated as pet friendly but back yard is not fenced. Also the front balcony has a lean which felt a bit unsafe.

Perfect place for a relaxed weekend away

Our family weekend away to catch up with friends was made all the better for staying here. Location is great with delightful sea views, the house is well presented with everything you need. The added bonus of being able to have our dog with us too was amazing. Thank you we hope to stay there again.

Beautiful for the soul!

We had a wonderful stay, and were in daily awe of the view. The cottage is very conveniently situated, and you cannot move past the sound of the ocean and bird-life to rejuvenate the soul. Thank you Maureen for a lovely stay!!

A lovely, old style holiday house

We stayed at Ken and Maureen's house for a long weekend with our two dogs and loved it. The house has been in Ken's family for 70 years and retains that basic, beach house vibe, but has been updated to be comfortable and cozy. It was a cold, wet weekend and the wood fire kept the whole house warm and it was great to hear the rain on the roof - we didn't use the outdoor spaces. The house overlooks the beach and is a short walk to the beach, shop and pub, and a less easy walk back up the hill, but most of Wye River is steep so that should be expected. Wye River was busy with families with young children and the beach is safe for swimming. Overall, we had a great weekend away.
