Their home is beautiful. Lots of relaxing common spaces to share (lounge, kitchen, several decks) but also the suites provide plenty of privacy and a peaceful place to relax.
Location is great! Literally a few minutes walk to the beach and village.
We very much enjoyed our stay here and will stay here again if we’re in the area.
Thank you Ian and Matt! read less

A unique setting in rain forest garden facing onto ocean front reserve. The beach is a short walk through parkland to the ocean. This is a very pleasant accommodation with very gracious and hospitable hosts, Ian and Matt. What a great team they are. They surely know the art of hospitality. We chose to stay in the Beachcomber suite. This includes a good size sitting area where tea and coffee making facilities are available and dining table if private breakfast is required; bathroom with separate shower and spa bath; walk in wardrobe; plus a generous size bedroom with king bed, TV and sofa. Plenty of drawer space is also available. It is uniquely furnished with an eye for detail. Breakfasts are served on the outdoor dining area or dining room. Our breakfast was served in the outdoor dining area on the days we stayed, which was very enjoyable, with comfortable dining chairs and looking out onto the parkland setting. Generously sized breakfasts are provided including fruit juice, fresh fruit, yogurt, cereal and a hot breakfast of your choice of bacon, eggs, tomato and mushrooms, along with toast and marmalade. We enjoyed our stay at the home of Ian and Matt and appreciated their thoughtfulness and caring attitude. More read less

It is set in a tranquil and tropical garden oasis, making it a great escape from the everyday. It is a short walk to Stanwell Park Beach, some cafes, a boutique and an art gallery. The Sandpiper Spa Suite where my friend and I stayed had everything you needed to make your stay comfortable with one of the highlights being the incredible living wall in the bathroom. There are private and shared decks and balconies to relax on. The hospitality from Ian and Matt was very warm and welcoming. We were lucky enough to listen to the very talented Matt play on the baby grand piano one night, which was very special. We also had some lovely chats with Ian and Matt while we ate a delicious breakfast on the main deck. I would highly recommend this place. read less

It was clean, spacious and private with a luxurious bathroom, separate lounge area and outdoor hot/cold shower. The bath was plenty big enough for the two of us to enjoy, the bed was big & so comfy and there was outdoor furniture so we could sit on our private deck or lounge in the sun on the grass.

Ian and Matt are incredibly gracious hosts, they are so warm, welcoming and helpful. They offered great advice on local activities, food and anything we could possible need.

Breakfast was a mix of fresh fruit, cereal, yoghurts as well as amazing cooked breakfasts by Ian. Nothing was too much trouble and my eggs were perfect everyday 🙂

It was less than a 5 min walk to the beach and the coastal walk for the new Grand Pacific Drive. The location is incredibly convenient for public transport and it was no trouble getting Ubers. Ian & Matt were very generous in offering pick ups and drops offs for train connections and local restaurants too.

It was honestly an oasis, such a beautiful home in a lush tropical bush setting. A perfect holiday, I will definitely stay there again when I next visit the area. More read less
