- Nuria (10/5): Wonderful - The place was incredible ! The hosts left you in peace. A real change of scenery and the pool was amazing. Love it Little noise from the road but you can't have everything
- Saif (10/5): -
- Michele (9/5): A lovely short stay in a stunning environment. - Property was in a wonderful position overlooking lots of lush vegetation and far reaching views of the sea. The pool was a lovely addition.
The owners were very helpful. The seating in the cabana whilst looking chic was not very comfortable and we seemed unable to access very much on the tv. A job would have been useful.
- Guest (9/5): -
- Olcay (10/5): Lovely getaway - Everything was wonderful. The cabana was clean and comfortable, the location was amazing and relaxing, the pool and the views made it a perfect getaway. We didn't stay long enough.
- chad (10/5): an absolute amazing accommodation in an outstanding location. highly recommended -
- Artur (10/5): Super Unterkunft in ruhiger Lage mit tollem Ausblick (auch auf Kängurus) - Tolle Lage mit schönem Blick auf die Umgebung! Die Unterkunft wir richtig gut eingerichtet und super ausgestattet. Wir hatten regelmäßig Kängurus in direkter Sichtweite gehabt - einfach toll!!! Der Pool war klasse und die Vermieter waren super nett. Es war eine tolle Zeit für uns.

- Jaime (10/5): Exceptional views with a breathtaking infinity pool - Amazing view, most beautiful pool I’ve ever seen, really exceptional decorated and maintained cabana. We loved it here! Hosts were really caring and friendly too. That we didn’t get to stay longer - it was amazing!!
- Ben (10/5): - Lovely setting, just as picturesque as the photos suggest Lack of cooking facilities inside, but a great BBQ outside
- Teresa (10/5): -
- Jonathan (10/5): Would gladly stay again - Location is incredible. I loved the style of the room as well. Loved walking around and playing the the horses. The only observation we didn't like were the small gaps in the curtains/blinds. Not a huge deal (to me) but partner wasn't so happy.
- Judith (7/5): -
- bek (10/5): - Beautiful location, with access to the pool and lake. We went for a kayak to Avoca beach and had lunch It was an awesome day. Short drive to terrigal or Avoca. Very peaceful and relaxing would definitely recommend.
- VERONICA (7/5): - Love the pool with a great view. Comfy bed and lovely location. Studio is right next to owner’s home & pool is located directly in front of their home so limited privacy.
They also own a horse riding business and riding arena is directly below studio. We found it peaceful watching the horses and students practice but think this should be stated on website.
- Talia (10/5): -
- Teresa (10/5): - Amazing
- Michael (9/5): This is a winner - Most everything was excellent Access is a tiny tricky and the heater was a bit slow to warm us uo
- Steven (10/5): -
- Melissa (9/5): - Beautiful location, great communication, just what we needed for a relaxing weekend.
- Barry (10/5): -
- NATHAN (7/5): -
- Beth (8/5): - Lovely setting overlooking the property, rainforest and ocean in the distance. Convenient location between Avoca and Terrigal. Spacious open plan kitchen/lounge/dining and bedroom room plus bathroom. The weather prevented us from exploring the property so it would be nice to visit again. Sarndie was very responsive when there was a slight glitch opening the front gate. Easy check out. It was a little tricky finding the property in the dark as the road you turn off is very busy and you can only see the sign for the accommodation once in the driveway. A new electric fry pan would be handy in the kitchen as it was a bit wet to BBQ!
- yalcin (10/5): One of the most beautiful and peaceful places I have ever stayed in. - The location, view, cleanliness, comfort and the host Sarndie was extremely hospitable.
- Jack (10/5): Excellent - The view
- Saira (10/5): Exceptional -

- Philip (10/5): Exceptional -
- Hye (10/5): Exceptional -
- Christopher (10/5): Exceptional - Property is a great location between being right within the bush to having the beach a 4 minute drive away. Having the best of both worlds. It was a peaceful and enjoyable place to stay the pool was amazing and the owners are very nice and respect your privacy. Recommend highly.

- Mitchell (9/5): Superb - Room was nice and clean, view was amazing
- Gavrilo (9/5): Superb -
- Carmel (7/5): Good - The Cabana had a great long distance outlook to the sea. We spent a few days not leaving the place and enjoyed the surroundings. The owners were very friendly and helpful. It was located in the hills outside Terrigal, however getting in and out of the property on such a busy road was problematic. The furniture in the Cabana needs to be updated the lounge and chairs have seen their day and have long since lost their spring. The main house is closely located to the Cabana and lacked that feeling of privacy.
- Alexsandra (8/5): Stunning views , helpful friendly host & great facilities. - Stunning views , helpful friendly host great facilities.
- Donna (10/5): Great romantic couples getaway - Great atmosphere, peaceful getaway, lady that owns it is so friendly and helpful. She told us about the history and showed us around That we had to leave

- Faith (10/5): AMAZING! - Loved the view and the site of the whole property..Amazing
- Tanya (10/5): A place of paradise - The place Was just what we needed time to relax and the view and atmosphere was amazing. N/a everything was perfect
- Lisa (9/5): Superb - Very quiet peaceful location with rural and water views. The property is exceptionally well maintained.
- Ellen (9/5): Wow! What an amazing property. Just perfect for a much-needed short getaway. - Loved the villa and the outlook. We did not speak with anyone else there, and only saw one other person in a car, which was great. The decor was beautiful and good quality, and the kitchen was exceptionally equipped with cutlery, plates and glassware. There was nothing worthy of making a complaint or leaving a bad review about. However, there was only one towel in the bathroom on arrival and no floor mat, so we made do with the beach towels (and others were delivered to the door the next day). The kitchen bin was not emptied on arrival (thankfully only a couple of cardboard packages). I may have missed it, but there was no mention of Bernie on the website. As someone afraid of dogs, I was very anxious to read how large the dog was and that there was a chance she would jump and nip. We didn't meet Bernie, but I was petrified at the thought, although I'm sure she is a lovely animal.
- Marie (10/5): A lush, peaceful and charming retreat for one - It felt like stepping into another world. I loved waking to views of the horses and in the evenings feeling comforted by the beautiful trees and rainforest setting
I only wish I’d had more time to make use of the gorgeous bbq garden setting
I’ll definitely be going back to the Cabana with someone special!
As a solo traveler, I was very appreciative of Sarndies assistance - a lovely host indeed Leaving
- Megan (7/5): Good -
- Sue (4/5): Nice property, except for the traffic noise and difficult access. - Fully stocked studio, pleasant outlook. Lots of facilities that we didn't utilise (kayaks, walk around property, horse riding) Continous traffic noise from the Highway meant very poor sleep both nights of our stay (had louvre windows). Access to the Cabana was not ideal for carrying luggage from the parking area and across the wet grass. We travel extensively and don't normally leave reviews.
- Yasar (10/5): Exceptional - Everything what we want was there! Amazing view, comfortable accommodation, near shops and beaches…
- Susan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ashleigh (6/5): Overpriced dated cabana - Beautiful rural view
Unique property
Great pool 1. The overall privacy is poor, the main house looks directly at the cabana and also overlooks the pool. At all times it felt like we were being watched and not able to relax. Even though the blinds are blockout, it still felt really exposed this could be improved with some trees or hedges between the Cabana and the house.
2. The swimming pool, although stunning and the best feature, is clearly the main houses swimming pool, you are required to walk within a few meters of the main houses back door and then down the stairs to access. It felt like we were sneaking into someone else's swimming pool and would be joined by other people any minute. This could be improved by entry from the cabana and more privacy / higher hedges between the main house and pool view.
3. The couch is tiny, the back of the couch is lumpy and uncomfortable, it had a damp smell. It has clearly never been properly steam cleaned, although that would not get around the fact it is tiny and uncomfortable given the cabana is marketed as a couple's retreat.
4. The bed is rock hard, I woke up with a painful shoulder and had two poor nights sleep.
5. Although really clean the overall appearance and layout of the cabana looking tired and dated with old furniture, the TV is crooked and hasn't been installed properly hanging to the side badly, the remote controls have bits of sticky tape hanging off them.
Great location, has potential to be wonderful with some updates. But overall not worth the price.
- Kieran (10/5): Excellent. - Beautiful property, fantastic views, great pool. Kitchen could have been better fitted out.
- Renee (10/5): Exceptional -
- Christine (9/5): Excellent, would highly recommend it - Fantastic view, lovely pool house, great dog to play with, feels like the hinterland but close to beach. The bed was rock hard.
- Blair (7/5): Good -
- Shana (10/5): Exceptional -
- Roxy (7/5): A beautifully rough gem in need of some polishing - Property is beautiful and appreciated that we could use the pool, try some horse riding or kayak if we wanted to. Lots to look at and wildlife. Lovely gesture of wine and snacks. Although the property is beautiful, i don't feel the accommodation itself is 5 star for the following reasons:
Communication - no response to 2 calls/messages for assistance (snake and life vests for kayaks)
Dirty floors
No warning signs of animals and leeches
Pathway unsigned/marked
Uncomfortable bed and pillows
Rough towels
Suggestions for restaurants out of date as a few have been permanently closed for a while
No tea or coffee but milk provided
1 mini bottle of water in fridge for 2 people
Needs some finesse and attention to detail to give it a luxury, 5 star feel.

- Mudit (9/5): Superb -
