Great getaway

Nice and clean, cute pugs and quiet little neighbourhood. The only thing I would note is that it does take about half an hour to get to some more busy areas of Jervis Bay since the only possible highway takes you on a detour around the national park to get to Huskisson. Otherwise, Callala Bay is lovely.

Not worth the money

This was a little misleading as I thought this studio was like a granny flat type of situation but it was attached to the front house and just segregated a little. You could hear the water pipes all night and

Simple but convenient

Simple room with fridge and microwave. Was clean and just minutes to the beach. Can be some minor noise as owners live right on other side of the wall but very limited. Owners are friendly and helpful. Great if you have a pet as access to the fenced backyard was offered.

We had a restful time here and enjoyed going for walks and resting in the yard. Our dog was also welcome. The microwave was a little hard to reach and a small table would have been useful. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay and would go again.

Quiet and relaxing getaway

We had a very relaxing stay at Rory's place. The room was surprisingly spacious and the hosts had left us some unexpected treats which we appreciated. We brought along our dog and he was able to interact with the hosts' 2 pugs who were very friendly and playful. The place is a very short work to the beach and a quick drive to the shops which made it very convenient.

Basic but comfortable accommodation

If you are seeking budget, no frills accommodation, then this will suit. The sliding door leads to the laundry which contains the shower and toilet,washing machine and laundry sink. The bed was comfortable,bread,milk cereal etc was supplied. There was ample books and DVDs for the rainy days. A small fold up table would have been handy for the times where it was too rainy to eat on the outside table and chairs

One of the nicest properties we have stayed in. Yes it is a converted garage, and we loved the simplicity of the facility. 10/10 to Rory for providing breakfast for our stay ... not the usual minimum fare, but an entire loaf of fresh bread, fresh butter, fruit bowl, large bottle of milk, spreads and a fresh box of cereal. Most places we have stayed provide just the bare minimum, and this was a refreshing change ... KUDOS! . The bed and pillows were super comfortable ... probably the best we have had. . Constructive thoughts ... a small folding table and 2 folding chairs would round this self-contained room out to perfection! . Thanks for an awesome New Years stay Rory

Certainly wouldn't recommend... Felt very unclean and was just a converted garage that seemed to have all the left over, unwanted furniture just chucked in there. A broken rocking chair. The world's loudest fridge. And just random junk stored up above the fake ceiling. Overall just didn't have a nice feel and we sacrificed a night away to not have to sleep in there twice.

The blind on the sliding door was stuck closed. The light in the loft was on over night and we couldn't sleep. No table to eat off. Nothing to sit on other than the bed.
