Great family get away
Excellent location with good accomodation facilities. Perfect place to relax and rejuvenate. Only draw back was no wifi connection and having no signal on our phones didn’t help either.

Very comfortable home in a lovely location.
A family of four adults spent four nights in this welcoming home that had everything we needed. Emus and kangaroos grazed on a reserve area to the rear of the home morning and night, and bird life abounded. We were very happy with our stay and could not fault the home and the amenities provided.

Beach and wildlife!
An eclectic and rustic house with serious beach vibes, this house was perfect for our stay at Marion Bay. The highlight was the back deck & garden which was full of birds and lizards. We were even treated to a visit from an old man emu and his six chicks! What a treat!

Great week.
This property was great. Wifi Netflix handy. Beautiful deck to relax on. Good fire place. Best I could bring my old dog a 13yo Rottweiler girl who likes a walk in the morning likes to sleep most of the day then likes to watch television with her family. Finding a place that allows this is fantastic. Had great contact with the hosts . I thoroughly recommend this property.

Quiet time
Quiet location, good for relaxation. Seaside decor theme overdone and getting tired. Didn't appreciate the gardener arriving mid-stay to spray poison on the weeds or the cleaner arriving a day early because she got the dates wrong. Unless you like overpriced and poorly cooked pub food, make sure that you bring enough supplies to cover your stay.

Clean, Peaceful, and Relaxing
Jessica and Ryan's home was beautifully presented and clean. Check-in was easy and all basic amenities were provided. Quiet neighbourhood, neat furnishings, and 3 min drive to the local store. Front garden provides nice privacy for bedrooms. Some mozzies in the house, but not too bothersome. You can open up all windows for good cross ventilation in the living area. Welcome chocolates were a nice treat. Thank you for a nice stay, we really enjoyed Marion Bay!
