Great relaxing getaway
We really enjoyed Austin Cottage, well presented and clean. We had beautiful weather, some of the beaches were closed but the ocean pools were amazing. The location was good, a little too far from the beach but was what was listed in description. The bond was higher than normal but we did not have an issue and got it released the same day. We would stay again and recommend Austin Cottage.

Perfect cottage accommodation
This 3 bedroom cottage was perfect for me and four family members. The bedrooms, kitchen and living area were clean and spacious. The appliances and linen were all top quality and luxurious. The location was also great as it was within easy walking distance of The Junction with Coles, restaurants and boutique shops which catered for all needs and interests. It was all perfect.
