We stayed here for a couple of nights which was perfect - we got to enjoy the quiet neighborhood and the place quirky set up which was fun. The place provided a good base from which to explore the Booderee National Park before we moved to another place to be right next to the Jervis Bay beaches. It was very relaxing and peaceful.

Beautiful location, the house was just as it was listed. Fully 70s retro style. The record player was so much fun! loved how the tv was old school with a normal one hidden in there!

Myself and my family enjoyed our stay at the property. We spent a lot of time inside due to COVID-19 and the deteriorating weather. I loved the radio/gramophone and collection of vinyls on offer.

If you like houses out of the ordinary, than you will enjoy your time here.
We loved the vintage record player. It was nice to show the kids how it used to be when we were young. The play room was also great for the kids!
On the street the kangaroos just jump around every evening!
When the bathroom light didn’t work one day, the owner fixed it immediately!
Thanks for the lovely stay!

We had a great stay at Erowal Bay! The place is just as cute as it looks in the photos and has everything you'd possibly need for your stay. The area is very quiet which is nice, there's a general store nearby and access to the National Park or Hyams Beach is just minutes away, so very convenient location and great value for money!

The house was located in on a quiet spot in Erowal Bay. Not much in the area, always needing to drive to get somewhere. Unfortunately it was cool weather, being an older house it was hard to keep warm at night. The Tv was quiet small with limited channels working. A few too many spider webs inside for our liking and the blinds didn’t quite keep the light out. However the decor of being a Retro house was very well done, reminded us of our Nans house

So special and fun!
We had such an amazing stay here. Everything was beautifully clean and comfy (the water bottles on each bed was such a cute gesture) - all the retro touches were so fun we spent all day listening to the amazing records available.

Lovely retro hideaway
We had a short getaway at Retro at The Bay and we had a lovely stay. The house is very charming and it is only a short drive to beaches and restaurants in Huskisson. The owners are easy to deal with and very flexible with our request.

Such a wonderful stay! The retro decor was amazing and a real treat - wish we could have stayed longer, chilling out on the front deck while playing tunes on the turntable. Will definitely be back, thanks again Sue and Dave!

Family fun
We really loved our stay, the house has great charm & is fantastic for kids with a whole room filled with classic toys.
The coastal breeze kept the house quite cool even on a very hot weekend. It’s a lovely place for a mini break with friends & family :)

Short and sweet stay by the bay
We enjoyed our stay at this ‘throwback’ home - the kids loved the playroom, and the adults had fun with the retro turntable. We even saw a few kangaroos on our last night there.
It was comfortable - w/ 3 bedrooms, a lounge, a playroom - 5 adults and 2 kids definitely had ample space.

Lots of fun
We loved the attention to detail of the retro decor and the location. The record collection was a particular hit and we had a great soundtrack for our stay. The proximity to beaches and through the national parks also made this location perfect for us.

Great style and great location
We loved the style and details. Our girls loved running around and we spotted a few kangaroos in the neighbourhood. The tv is fantastic and so is the 50´s boombox😀. Weather wasn’t the best but the house was big enough to entertain our little ones.
