We could hear the penguins on the first night but didn't see them until our last night! A local told us they sometimes stay out at sea, so I'm guessing that's what's happened. It is in a great location, but I wasn't keen on cars driving on the beach. I know people love the ease of it, but some drove much faster than they should. Also, it should be noted that if you have mobility issues, it may be difficult to navigate the short slope to the sand. There are steps from the deck but then roots as steps the rest of the way. You could walk the short distance to the stairs by the playground to reach the sand, too. Overall, the place is comfortable and the view from the deck is amazing!

The property has the perfect location, made special by the trees on either side of the deck. The living area has splendid views of the beach and the sea, while the trees encourage birds, and even some other wildlife. The penguins were a delight.
The beds were very comfortable.
Suggestions: a couple more plastic liners for the bins as we were there for a few nights; we were unable to get the aircon to work (maybe the settings weren't quite right?). The toaster failed on our last 2 days. The doonas are quite heavy when the nights start to warm up.
The rest of the kitchen equipment was very good.

We really enjoyed our stay at Emu Bay, the children particularly enjoined the visits at night from the fairy penguins. The house, view from the deck and the direct access to the beach were wonderful

Nice place. Was advertised as 4 bedroom, only had 3. Very loud penguins nesting under the house so we were kept awake for about an hour at 3am each night. Close to beach, family friendly. Not bad

Amazing location
Lovely property in a truly amazing location. Has everything you need, including super comfortable beds.
You will need earplugs to sleep through the penguin shenanigans but it’s also pretty cool to take the kids penguin spotting.

Great location. Penguins seem to live under the property and come out at night and make a lot of noise, which kept us up. There’s a really bad smell under the NE deck by the 2nd bedroom suggesting something’s died, which came into the house when the window was open. The BBQ can’t be used when raining because it’s pad locked in place.
