    We love this beach house, so much so that I’ve booked it 6 years in a row, & devastated that it’s not available for our stay next year. It’s walking distance to the main town, well equipped, has comfortable beds, a great balcony for eating on or entertaining and best of all is dog friendly... I hope we can stay there again in the future.

    Loved our stay at Gillies, very clean, comfortable with everything you need when away. Love the location and the fact that this house is completely pet friendly as it is all fenced and they can come inside. It is a shame there are not more ‘real' pet friendly homes in this area. I believe there are lots of responsible pet owners like ourselves with a small pet that take extra care when holidaying in someones home. Thank you for sharing your home.

    Douglas R from Heathcote, New South Wales recommends this vacation rental

    The house is modern and in a great location. The layout is excellent, and a lot of thought has gone into fitting it out. Everything supplied in the house makes for the perfect holiday. The beer fridge has been set to the perfect temperature.

    The only negatives were the house was very dusty (especially under beds and lounges) causing a few asthma issues. This has been also documented in previous reviews. The supplied vacuum cleaner was useless, actually making the house dirtier. It is well overdue for replacement or a good clean. And some of the insect screens in the bedrooms were broken and as a result the windows could not be left open at night to allow a breeze in.

    The positive attributes of the house far outweigh the few minor issues. I'd highly recommend the property.

    Property condition:

    Rebecca F from Carringbah South recommends this vacation rental

    Great holiday rental, recently renovated with lovely kitchen, bathrooms & very comfy beds. Well equipped apart from the coffee machine was out of order during our stay.
    Only downside is in the cleaners, with their poor quality clean. Under beds & inside bedroom cupboards were absolutely thick with dust, inside bedroom drawers were also dusty. Dirty dishes were packed back in the cupboards. The laundry doesn’t not appear to be cleaned at all. We got the vacuum out to do it ourselves, but even the vacc was filthy & smelly. They could do with better cleaners for the $125 we paid for that service.

    Tracey & Julia M from Bayview, NSW recommends this vacation rental

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and Gillies Getaway is a very comfortable and well appointed cottage. The house appeared to have been vacant for some time since being cleaned and was definitely in need of detailing and cleaning under all furniture.
    The lawns needed mowing and the yard a general cleanup especially for use by young children such as our grandchildren.
