"It was really enjoyable. The house is well maintained and clean and the owner's references to the 50's in the furnishings and decor gave us a few giggles and made us feel very nostalgic."

- Louise, NSW -Jul '09

Cottage, Holiday house, Fibro weekender

'Life's a Beach' has been preserved in a 1950s time warp, from the furniture to the atmosphere, when life was lived and enjoyed at a slower pace. The perfect destination to re-evaluate and re-charge your life.
This popular south coast weekender has all mod cons: luxury comfy mattresses dressed in designer linen, gas hot water, AusStar cable TV. DVD, video, 2 showers, 2 loos, fully equipped kitchen, microwave, dishwasher, blenders, juicers, scanpans, sharp German cutting knives to unleash the gourmet chef in you. Coffee, Tea, sugar washing and cleaning products. Just bring your towels.

Languages spoken: English(Conversation)

A fabulous flashback with all the mod cons. We had a great time here in Jan hols. We took our 13 year old retriever and he became a pup again. A great location beautiful beaches and friendly people. Will certainly go back!!!

Just returned home from a week at this gorgeous beach house, what a treat it was! 'Life's a Beach' cottage truly felt like home, with that extra something special of stepping back in time when life wasn't quite so complicated. Cassandra - February 2009
