We have stayed at Adrift several times (I have lost count) and it's always a great stay. Our dog loves the backyard and the nearby leash free beach and we really appreciate the well-stocked kitchen and the lovely reading nook in the master bedroom. We always find everything we need, including fly spray, sun screen and other toiletries. Annie is always very helpful and responsive if we have questions or concerns. Thanks again!

Quiet and well-equipped house.

Rustic but very neat and extremely well-equipped. Fabulous yard for our dogs and very close to off-lead dog beach. Area was quiet and peaceful. The owner was very responsive to questions. All together, I would highly recommend this place.

A great place to unwind

A very pleasant stay in an original beach house with added mod cons like a dishwasher and aircon. We enjoyed the lovely tranquil setting for the humans and the fur babies to unwind and relax. Just how a beach holiday should be without too much fuss or hard work - having linen supplied made things so easy! Really enjoyed strolls along the dog beach and partaking in yummy local fare at a couple of nice eateries a short drive away.

Adrift - not quite what we expected

We knew the house was rustic and quirky, but the photos were misleading. Unfortunately the house wasn’t well maintained and not very clean - grubby kitchen floor, curtains coming off the tracks, stained carpets, cobwebs every and the kitchen floor was really grubby. Worst if all was the very rusted BBQ which would have caused poisoning had wr used it. It is a severe health hazard. The electric grill was not clean enough to use either. Don’t falsely advertise the outdoor BBQ as an option when it clearly is not. Im thankful our friends couldn’t join us for a Saturday BBQ as the advertised outdoor dining is definitely not up to scratch and a disappointment. On a positive note however, the beds were freshly made up in clean linens and the towels were fluffy and white. Despite the bathroom being circa 1960’s, the water was hot and plentiful , the toilet was clean and flushed and there was no shortage of toilet rolls! Our dogs had a great time - they loved the yard, running around searching for the possums was such a thrill and great excitement. Such a pity the accommodations didn’t live up to expectations or the the photos on the Stayz site. With bit of TLC and some much needed upgrades, it could be a fabulous property as it’s in a lovely position.
