Gorgeous , Loved it, More please!!!We frequent Yorkes several times a year, we found the standard & design features of Coastal Retreat well above other homes we have stayed at for a similar price. It's massive deck, quality beds, tasteful decor and cleanliness were all a pleasure. We felt so relaxed and felt truly able to switch off from life. Looking out to the huge ocean views and sunsets from anywhere in the open plan area was amazing. The house is positioned so cleverly, you don't even see the neighbours houses from inside or on the deck. Recommended with confidence, we will definitely be returning. Nola...

Although the accommodation was good the lack of any linen and toilet paper was a big issue as we all travelled from interstate to get to Hardwicke Bay and had to hire linen and buy toilet paper which in most places are provided by the owners. In addition the bbq was used on the first night- after we filled up bottle- but then could not use on the second night as think maybe a small hole in the connections or seal which then emptied the bottle o/n.

This property was better than expected. The house has been cleverly designed so you cannot see other houses once inside (leave the front blind down) and it feels like you are nestled in the dunes.
The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need and the property was very clean.
The view is excellent…we definitely recommend this property.

It’s great, we love it! Our 5th visit in 5 years. Booked again for 2023/2024. Some feedback:The lighting in the kitchen/dining is quite dim, particularly at night. We’d love it if there was a green kitchen caddy bin for green waste.

An amazing home. The privacy and view are exceptional. Everything you need and agents were lovely to deal with. The only small half star quibble was the bed. A low to the ground not entirely comfortable Queen for the main couple. At this price range a more comfortable bed / King Bed would have been great. But a minor quibble though!

Lovely vibe to this beach house looking out westwards over low vegetated sand dune to the sea. Well appointed kitchen and house in general. Delightful living/dining areas and great verandah area. More coat hangers in bedrooms would be good. Barbecue was uncleaned since last use and had mouse droppings on BBQ plate so we decided not to use it, sadly. We really enjoyed our stay there.

The house is basically brand new and everything is gleaming. We enjoyed the big deck and the indoor living space is a huge open plan area, with some incredible views out of all those doors/windows. When the sun hits the glass late afternoon it gets very hot inside, but if you put all the blinds down at the right time of day you can manage it - or blast the air-con for a few hours.

A beautiful spot overlooking the water. Quiet neighbourhood and decks points away from any other property, giving that sense of privacy.
Huge glass windows to enjoy the views from the open plan loving areas

Everything about this house was impressive, most of all the expansive view and position nestled into coastal shrubs and surrounding garden of natives. House was extremely comfy, well organised and had everything you’d need. Loved the soaring roof, all the windows and hanging out on the big deck. Heaps of birds, quiet, tranquil, peaceful, beautiful. Fantastic. Had a perfect weekend and birthday. Many thanks.

The sunsets on the deck were so beautiful! Just lovely seeing the water from the house.
Providing internet access for guests would take this property to the next level.

The property was very clean but the back sliding door kept locking. The TV had poor reception and there was no ability to show DVDs in the lounge (lots of hanging wiring for a future system). The decor is very green and of multiple styles - not cosy. The beds were very hard. The location is pretty but fairly isolated which became a nuisance when we realised that there was only a tiny bit of toilet paper on the roll in the bathroom and no reserve supply. The house was relatively expensive (cost more per night than the accommodation at the Gold Coast we had cancelled) and we had been asked to bring linen...but toilet paper had not been mentioned. Unfortunately, shops were closed on the Saturday by the time we realised our lack. All-in-all, I think the house was over-priced and probably more suited to a family with children as it was spacious.. and there were video machines in the bedrooms. Not great for 3 adults in winter

Ultra clean property. Loved the colour scheme and the wide deck. The view to the sea was fabulous. The whole interior was beautifully designed. Very comfortable. The Air conditioners certainly came in handy when we arrived. One of the most peaceful places I have ever stayed. Would definitely book again.

This is a spacious and extremely well equipped house in a lovely location where we could walk directly down to the shore and a 15 min walk to the wonderful Flaherty’s beach. The kitchen has everything you’d expect in a home and a nice deck overlooking the ocean with a nice view of the setting sun. Some things to be aware of before your visit, you need to take all bedding and towels including hand and even tea towels. Also check your mobile coverage, we had no Vodafone coverage but guests had Optus signal. Important point given no wifi, the latter not necessarily a bad thing for switching off.
