Guest Reviews

• Colin Cowan (8/5): - Good for a short stay , layout with toilet / shower located between living and bedroom not really convenient longer term.l
• Gritjaidee (5/5): -
• Abigail (9/5): Retreat for your eyes, body and soul. - Great view and cute little space. Garage space was a bonus and an extra fridge. Amazing place for a getaway from work and busy city life. 5 minute drive to some lovely cafes. Bed was super comfortable with a floor to ceiling window, that made it feel like you were up in the canopy of a rainforest! Couch wasn't very comfy.
• Ruth (10/5): -
• Mary (10/5): The nicest place we have stayed in Australia. - Beautiful setting, view and ambiance. Washing machine available and lots of friendly touches to make it homey and comfortable.
• Alyssa (9/5): -
• Grant (8/5): Overall a very pleasurable stay - Beautiful place for a couple. Very clean, comfy with a beautiful ocean view. Not a lot of space to store shopping and ants got into the food. Definitely needs an electric frypan.
• Gregory (8/5): Great location and stay - Location was great and the unit was everything we needed. Good to have use of a garage with full fridge. N/a
• Andrew (9/5): Excellent -
• Kieran (10/5): Perfect. - Perfect. Just what we required for the weekend. Was great. Would like to come back another time soon. Thank you.
• Maria (9/5): - Beautiful views and sound of ocean Great that was available at short notice
• Maria (8/5): -
• Paul (9/5): -
• Robin (9/5): Peaceful - Privacy and quietness All good
• Alison (10/5): Definitely recommend staying here, we will book again! - The view was amazing, we were able to bbq and eat outside on the deck area despite it raining! The kitchen had everything we needed, bathroom was clean. We only stayed one night but would definitely stay again and recommend to others. Nothing at all!
• Hayley (9/5): -
• Ida-Marie (10/5): Otrolig vy och ställe! Önskar vi hade stannat längre. - Otrolig utsikt från boendet. Sovrummet var så fint. Det var lite kryp i badrummet i taket. Men det kanske man får räkna med i Australien 🤷🏼‍♀️
• Ren (10/5): -
• Dave&NettysAdventures (9/5): Sweet Ocean views from the balcony BBQ, a little gem hiding in plain sight at ideallic Scotts Head - Incredible view of the wide blue Pacific Ocean, not only from the balcony, but also from the shower and the bedroom, and the kitchen! All the goodies provided and great electric BBQ which was clean, easy to use and worked well. Beach and coffee shop/cafe so close, lovely hosts, seriously more-ish and chilled, set within a lovely little seaside village...and if you go there on Wednesdays, you will get a bonus, an excellent market by the sea with live music and food vans to boot! Leaving. Maybe check the fridge as it may be needing a birthday soon as it hums (but who cares, we lived on the outdoor covered balcony anyways...)
• Gavin (10/5): Wish we could have stayed longer. Next time. Thanks again Benji, it was lovely to meet you. - What an awesome location. Comfy, cosy and cute with a brilliant deck overlooking the ocean.
• Daniel (10/5): - A beautiful spot, high on the hill, looking out over the ocean was perfect for a short break after a very busy few weeks.
• Jeremy (10/5): Great ocean view stay for a great price! - Great location with ocean views and cozy lounge and bedroom areas. Also great communication from the owners too. Everything was fantastic!
• Jose (10/5): - The VIEWS! 😍 Nothing comes to my mind
• justin (9/5): Tranquil and Comfortable - Very nice private, quiet property. It was one of our favorites on the whole north coast. Scotts Head is also a great place.
• Pippa (10/5): - fantastic!
• Pip (9/5): Awesome location, great views…incredible value! - Location, our welcome from both Benji (in person) & Chris (by phone)! The view, the ideas and help they gave, the comfy beds, the extras they provided (lil heart soaps, ice, salt/pepper/oil ….all you need for independent stays). I could go on…but honestly fur the price you can NOT complain!!! Maybe time to update the dodgy plastic toilet seat!! 😬
• Cunningham (10/5): Comfortable, clean and well equipped Accomadation. - Benji’s By the Sea was a very clean, spacious and such a comfortable bed overlooking the ocean. Very private location and short walk to beach and local club. Look forward to our next visit😊

• Margaret (10/5): Lovely apartment, nestled in the trees with beautiful views. - Our accommodation was just how we like it, quiet and set amongst lots of trees and plants. The apartment/house had all the appliances we needed and it was tastefully decorated. We wish we could have stayed longer. Well, there were no real disadvantages except that we couldn't really walk to the beach. We drove to the beach but that was fine.
• Kati (9/5): - It was so nice you could hear and see the ocean.Well equipped ,very clean and comfortable bed.Hosts were extremely helpful providing all necessary information.about the property.

• stephen (8/5): A very pleasant short stay and very helpful hosts . - The view and the natural surroundings. Hosts were very pleasant and helpful. Cupboard under the bench which had the crockery was difficult to open. It would have been helpful to have a folder which contained brochures and information about the local area including places to eat

• Stephen (8/5): Very good -

• Sinead (9/5): Superb -
• Emma (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sarah (10/5): Brief stay but very Thankful. - The view was beautiful… like living in my own oasis amongst the treetops. Short walk to beach , coffee & , shops.😊
• Doran (9/5): A relaxing, perfect break away and would love to return to Benji's - Large unit including a large undercover balcony with sea views, electric BBQ, outdoor furniture. Enjoyed sitting out in the sun listening to the birds and the ocean. Very private area too because it was surrounded by trees. Huge garage with an extra fridge was handy. The hosts provided lots of little extras like lovely leaf tea, plunger coffee, lots of ice, a night light in the bathroom was very thoughtful, many blankets and thick, luxurious cotton sheets on the bed. The nearby beach was amazing. There was no life guards (except on the weekend) but not necessary because it was well protected and the water was incredibly warm. April is the ideal time to swim. It was a nice little walk back home from the beach and a bit up hill which was good exercise for us. A great beach too to bring your dogs. There was a plague of ants in the kitchen so we had to be careful not to leave any dirty dishes lying around, or rubbish (so a good thing :))
• Warren (9/5): Superb -
• John (6/5): Pleasant -
• Tony (7/5): Nice accommodation but needs a name change - Cute and compact. Ideal for couples. Set in lovely rainforest pocket. Very distant sea view. The name Benji by the Sea is a complete misnomer. We expected a short walk to the sea, reinforced by the picture on the website. Instead it is miles from the beach. We booked especially for the location and felt dudded. Also mattress was very lumpy and electric BBQ did not work.
• Nchard (9/5): Wish we had been able to stay another day. - Location nestled in amongst the trees. The view. The birdsong.
• Adam (10/5): Absolutely fantastic great accomodation & spot - Location & kitchen facilities & own garage N/A
• Lisa (10/5): Exceptional -
• David (9/5): Superb -
• Jackie (9/5): Great place to break a longer trip or to explore Scott’s Head - Not so far off the highway so a great place for a break in a longer trip. Accomodation not right close to beach but close enough to go for a swim or coffee/meal etc. Nice quiet location. Felt like I was in a tree house, surrounded by trees and waking up to sounds of birds. Host very welcoming and called up beforehand to make sure we knew how to get there and how to park our car in the garage. Garage great as it meant we did not have to unpack everything as we were only staying one night as on a longer journey through
• Alan (10/5): Would like to stay for a week - Views from the hilltop location, glimpse of the ocean through the trees from the balcony, beautiful breezes, space to relax in the unit, beautiful polished timber floors and ceiling, comfortable bed. Short drive to the beach. Good shops. Nil
• Sue (7/5): Good - View and position amongst the trees hearing the beautiful birds The bed was hard
• Charmaine (10/5): Exceptional -
• Caron (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ethan (9/5): Superb -
• David (10/5): Exceptional - Stayed here a few times now. It’s peaceful, comfortable and the hosts are attentive. Will be back.
• Sauer (8/5): Always an excellent spot to relax and unwind. Close to all facilities in the village. - Not applicable
• Alice (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sandra (9/5): Superb -
• Nour (8/5): Beautiful outlook, great location. - Nicely appointed, clean, had all the basics and then some nice additions (coffee, milk, fresh soap). Close to everything and unique.
• Richard (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mike (8/5): Very good -
• Sandra (8/5): Very good -
• Bruce (8/5): Very good -
• Peter (9/5): Not long enough, but enjoyed the whole unit, privacy and views. - Great place for a relaxing stay. Huge garage, nicely equipped and clean kitchen and lounge, lovely bedroom with fantastic view and ensuite. The deck had a great view. You have sense privacy , quiet and being up in the trees in the whole unit but am only footsteps from the road. I couldn’t walk to the beach but the drive to and from was worth it for the view, privacy and relaxed sense when in the unit.
• Christopher (10/5): Exceptional - Peaceful. Short walk to beach and bowls club. No footpaths on the streets.
• Alexander (10/5): Great Hosts and Great Accommodation. - Great service and great location. Very easy to deal with.
• Doak (9/5): Superb -
• Sharonjx (10/5): Quiet getaway. - Great location for a quiet holiday. The property with fitted with modern household appliances. There was ample bedding supplied and space to park our car undercover. The hosts were friendly and accommodating, and informed us of places to go and things to do in the area. Our stay was too short! :)
• Anthony (9/5): A gem of a view and some whales to boot! - We loved our short stay at Benji’s. Fabulous location and views. We relaxed with a drink on the deck watching the super moon rise at dusk. In the morning we enjoyed coffee while watching the Whales spout out in the distance - an unexpected bonus!
• Cooper (10/5): Comfortable, fresh, fun and gorgeous - The location, view, ease of access, ammenities and facilities. If I were to be completely blunt, just the floors being a little dirty with foot stains etc. But apart from that, nothing else.
• Marion (7/5): Good - Beautiful sunshine into the bedroom in the mornings . The property is very private . It is up high and it’s just a short walk down to Scott’s Head beach and town.
• Scott (8/5): Very good -
• Glenn (9/5): Superb - Great location.
• Tracy (10/5): Exceptional - Nestled amongst the trees watching the whales and sun rise form the bedroom and veranda was just what I needed for a long weekend. Other nice features were the inclusion of condiments, including plunger coffee, air-conditioning and the double car garage complete with a large fridge as well as the smaller fridge in the kitchen. Short walk to the beach or drive if walking is not your thing. Loved it and will book again with the relaxed hosts, which lead to the pleasure of the stay.
