We have owned and manage this property ourselves for over 20 years, we do not use real estate agencies or other third parties to look after our property. In addition we do many of the cleans and regular spring cleans on the property to keep it in good order. We sometimes will even get to meet you if we do the clean before you arrive. We endeavour to give our guests that personal touch and care to ensure that you have the best possible holiday experience. We are contactable and available to provide you with assistance for the whole duration of your stay. Eclectic Paradise is our preferred holiday destination, and are continually improving the facilities on offer. Guests have full use of the entire house. There is an owner use flat underneath that is not accessible to guests.

All bedrooms now have ceiling fans. In addition we have expanded the house with weather walls on the outdoor entertaining areas both upstairs and downstairs to increase comfort during times of windy and rainy weather.

We have owned Eclectic Paradise, one of the first properties to be built in Bambara street since 1998. It has been updated sympathetically ,maintaining many of its original 1960's decore and features, with a contemporary twist. Ceiling and wall fans have just been installed for cool comfort. Note that the property is not airconditioned and the kitchens do not have dishwashers. If you want to stay in a clean and well presented roomy rustic older style 1960's beach house with many of the original features of that era in a fantastic eastern beachside location, then our property will fit the bill.

Straddie is a pristine wilderness and there is plenty of wildlife you will have a good chance of seeing in or near our house such a kangaroos, koalas, plovers, curlews, kookaburas and many different types of honeyeaters.
