We had a lovely relaxing stay at Wonga House. We enjoyed the location being so close to the beach and hearing the waves at night when sleeping. Hearing and seeing all the bird life and enjoying a drink out on the verandah. The house was very spacious for the 2 of us and had everything that we needed.

Very nice and quiet location. Close to the beach and all local shops and pub. Very well kitted out kitchen with lots of everything. As listed, there is no wifi, but didn’t really matter to us.

We loved our 4 night stay at Wonga. I especially loved that there is no WiFi, as our kids were more than happy to play board games rather than iPads.
Listening to the ocean whilst enjoying an afternoon drink on the deck is heaven.
Short walk down to the beach, definitely take the official beach path. Quick 5 min walk to the Wharf & Pub.
Wonga Beachhouse is a great base to explore the Sapphire Coast.

Wonga beach house exceeded our expectations. So spacious, yet homely. Gorgeous outlook from upstairs and down. Even though it rained most the time - we thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the balcony & listening to the waves, taking walks on the beach, whale watching and dinner at the Tathra Hotel - not to mention Wapengo waffles! The house had a great kitchen that had everything we needed to cook at home too. Thank you for a wonderful stay - we will be back!

The house is big enough for a family of four/five, it is located in a very quiet neighbourhood, this was a big plus for our family. You can walk to the Tathra Hotel as well as to the small grocery store and the bottle shop, very convenient. Communication with the owner was very good, any question or requests were answered promptly. There is no wifi at the house, it didn't bother us, but it might be important to other families. I can recommend Wonga Beach House wholeheartedly, we will return for sure.

What a delight. Great presentation and everything we needed was available. The short walk to cafes, shops and the pub meant we didn't need to drive at all. The beach was close by and fabulous, even for a quick swim. Loved sitting on the deck in the sun shine listening to the waves roll in, and the fire place with plenty of fire wood kept us cosy during the evenings. Highly recommended.

Perfectly located for a beach break
There's a lot to like about this place!
Location - Perched atop a headland with waves crashing on beach below but in a protected bushland setting that feels private and secluded. Hop, skip and a jump to an awesome beach (bring the boogey board!) and walking distance to local cafes and pub with knockout views. Park the car and leave it.
Outside living - Breakfast on the deck each morning, accompanied by the resident frog in the umbrella that we named Tiddles, lovely flat grassed lawn where we played badminton, firepit.
Great house - Clean, well equipped, beautiful bedside ocean view.

We had a very relaxing holiday in this lovely house. Excellent location. Although the weather was not favourable it was great to be in such a nice space. Loved the louvres as they let the air flow through the house and helped keep the humidity down a bit. Gorgeous artwork throughout the house.
It would have been good to know that there was no internet to be better prepared.
Overall fabulous though. Loved going to sleep with the sounds of the waves.

Pro: The location above Tathra beach is excellent. You can hear the waves on the deck and from the bedroom.
Con: As soon as you enter the musty smell of an old, damp house hits you and sticks to your clothes. When we arrived the kitchen was so dirty that we complained straight away. The cleaner came the next day and did some superficial cleaning. However, this property needs a deep clean. The kitchen and everything in it is dirty and sticky, the grout in the bathrooms black, spiders everywhere, fly screens all blind. All kitchen utensils are shockingly old, same goes for the thin towels. Guests are asked to bring the rubbish bins up to the street. It requires the large bins to be dragged up a long very steep road. We’ve done this before and are ok with it but we’ve never had such an ordeal. Last but not least there’s a bee swarm residing on the roof of the deck - right underneath the bedroom windows which had fly screens with holes in it. The owners didn’t bother to tell us in advance and we felt very uncomfortable being surrounded by bees. Had we known this before we would’ve cancelled.
For 400AUD/night we were expecting a much higher quality.

Fabulous weekend escape
Wonga House was perfect for a relaxing weekend escape. Stunning location over the beach - loved sitting on the deck amongst the trees and hearing the birds and waves. The house has a great relaxed vibe with a number of spaces that were great for the kids to hang out in, mum and dad to read a book, and then to come together. Tathra is magic. Thanks Louise and Toby for a great experience.

The house has everything needed for a relaxing stay - beautifully clean, a generous supply of provisions, a much enjoyed fireplace plus an amazing deck. No mice spotted!
Thanks so much Louise and Toby - we will be back!

This is the first time we have encountered issues with a property we have rented, issues we encountered are as follows:
1. Property was unclean on arrival with rodent droppings and dirty freezer.
2. Rodent ate our food overnight with a requirement to clean rodent droppings each morning.
3. Major construction was being undertaken next door with workers using the rented property site and having smoke breaks on the property.
4. There is no access to the beach from the property with a requirement to go to main access to the beach which is not direct.
We highlighted these issues to the landlord who said these setbacks were unfortunate given location and expected.
I believe the property is overpriced and give number of issues with property I would not recommend renting.
