Extremly impressed with this property, the photos do no justice for it. It was very big compared to photos, with 2 living areas, a large kitchen and great outdoor area. Wifi was great as there isnt much reception in the region. There was a walking trail directly behind the property to the beach. The sound of the waves and the birds chirping made it very relaxing. The pool was amazing. The bathrooms were great. 10 out 10 recommend.

Amazing location

The property is located on a really nice street and only a short walk from a beautiful beach. The house itself is very basic and apart from the new bathroom, is in need of an update. The property is not wheelchair accessible. One of our party is wheelchair dependant and we had to source a makeshift ramp after arrival to allow her access.T

Property needs maintenance

We've stayed here multiple times in the past and love the location . Unfortunately the property needs maintenance . Pool wansnt clean on arrival . Also there was loose pavers around the pool causing a hazard to children , the tv wasn't working, bbq gas was empty , dishwasher was leaking , outdoor lights not working , bedroom blinds not working . Power points making sparking noises. Honestly we would love to go back because the location is amazing however without regular and much needed repairs we won't we returning .

Great but could have been better

No massive issues, mostly all was as expected. Small issues like: No Gas for BBQ - called and they said it would be organised but wasnā€™t done before we left. Tiles missing from wall in second shower - we didnā€™t use it so as not to damage the wall... agent was stand offish like ā€œHow did that happenā€ - it was like it when we arrived. Overall good value.... Ps Please spray the bindiā€™s in the back lawn...ouch

Great location!

This house is in a great location for supermarket, beach and walking. A short drive to Port Macquarie or Laurieton, Camden Haven. Comfortable house with outdoor space. Beware small children and the outdoor steps, they are steep with a railing only on one side, but that is only a minor thing!

Large accommodating house in the best location

This is our second stay at Middlerock Retreat . Such a great location for our family to relax at. Rooms are large as well as living areas . Relax at the entertaining area next to the pool whilst listening to the waves crashing on the beach directly behind the property. The kitchen has everything you need and there is even a spa bath in the bathroom. We will definately be coming back for a third visit. Belinda Jones and Family
