Awesome view
The house had everything we needed & the view was spectacular. What was very disappointing was that the veranda roof had holes in it and leaked onto the patio furniture. As there was a lot of rain during our stay we were on the veranda and under the leaking roof.

Comfortable place with spectacular views.
The property has spectacular views & is easily accessible for a very elderly parent/grandparent. The kitchen was basic with a broken crisper which may not bother some folks but I like cooking with heaps of fresh vegetables, so it was annoying. Other than that a very comfort place to stay.

Awesome sunsets!
A group of 3 couples. Plenty of room. Huge backyard with firepit and amazing views. Easily accessible to everything on the island but the position of the house, and size of the block, made it feel like we had the island to ourselves.

Magnificent views. The house has everything you could need. The outdoor area was amazing. Kate, the host, was wonderful to deal with. The ONLY thing I found unusual was having to book and pay if you need a blanket. I think that the extra charge for a blanket should be covered in the cost not an additional cost

We had a fantastic time. The view is better than any picture. Space for everyone to relax. Ad pretty close to accurate, beds one less made up then then advertised, but enough made up for number of people. We were happy to share. Kate was fantastic, sent through heaps of information about the property and things to do while on the island. We had a blast will definitely go again..

Sunset view on Straddie
Definitely the best holiday house we have stayed in and although we are "campers" we have stayed in a lot of different houses both here and overseas. Everything was perfect for our needs. Comfortable house and comfy beds. Great outdoors area with the fire place the final touch. As campers a fire and marshmallows are a must.

A blissful weekend at Straddie
We loved staying at Sunset at Straddie View. The property was welcoming, comfortable & relaxing. The large yard was fantastic for our kids who kicked balls, played on the swing, and played outside for hours. The fire pit was very special - we loved our drinks by the fire, soaking up the magical view. My husband & I read books & sat & chatted on the sun lounges outside and we just could not get enough of that view. We were able to get out & about on our first day to do some more exploring of Straddie & we braved the Brown Lake - it was chilly at this time of year but invigorating! For our second day, a lockdown had been called so we couldn’t go out but we soaked up the view outside & inside. I loved waking up to see the view through the window from our very comfy king sized bed. I spent a little time deciding what to watch on the large TV with lots of Foxtel options available & enjoyed the chance to watch some Olympics finals as I also kept an eye on the view over the water from the lounge windows. The kids watched the Olympics skateboarding on the other TV. We took advantage of the well-equipped kitchen & outdoor area to cook some yummy meals & went out for a great dinner at Point Lookout on our first evening. The house is spacious with lots of rooms & comfortable, clean furniture & casual beachy decor. It had a warm welcoming feel & we did not want to leave! We would love to stay here again. Highly recommended!
