Great place to stay!

The place was lovely, we had a view of the sea from our bungalow and it's a great location for exploring the area. Staff were all friendly and helpful and the food was great in the bar. My only complaint was the movement sensor lights at night. They were so bright every time someone walked past it lit up the room. Some low level lighting would have been better. The outdoor furniture could use some new cushions too. And although it mentions a kitchenette, it's really just a fridge and tea/coffee. Luckily we had some camping crockery and cutlery in the car! But overall a great stay, we will definitely be back.

My bungalow was beautiful. Only problem was that I was the unlucky one who got Bungalow 1 assigned. That one is next to the bar/restaurant, so bit noisy until curfew. Plus everyone from the other bungalows had to use the gate next to mine to get to the bar & some people from the accommodation behind used that gate to get to the beach. So more noise and less privacy. If you exclude this, my stay was amazing. Underneath parking, beautiful bungalow and just a few steps away from the beach. Nice cafe up the road (Boffee Cafe) for breakfast as well as an IGA. So everything walkable for a lacy long weekend

A bit disappinting

Location was very good comfortable bed the cleaning could be better hairs found on towels not had a hoover. Bring your own shower gel etc. reception staff very nice but when request had to go further the manager was nonchalant. As no breakfast is offered then perhaps a toaster could be given not just a kettle. Lots of trip hazards on decking.

The Caves Coastal Bar and Bungalows is a world-class, topnotch and perfect beachfront holiday accommodation suited for families, couples and groups. The property is located only a stone’s throw away from Hams Beach and a short relaxing coastal walk to Caves Beach where the beachside caves are beautifully carved on the cliffs by the sea. We stayed in a bungalow, and we had two units adjacent to each other for use by my daughter and her husband. We all had a comfortable and relaxing stay. We needed peace and quiet with the sound of ocean waves ringing in our ears, and we got what we wished for. The king bed was large and conducive to a good night sleep and the room amenities were superb. The bathroom and restroom have been designed separately, and an on-top-of-the-floor deep-soaking bath tub that could fit two adults is perched in the middle. It was a luxury to have these toilet amenities for a rest-and-relax holiday, or even for a one-day overnight staycation. The reception staff, maintenance personnel and room attendants are warm, friendly and reflective of the laidback Australian hospitality that I love and revere so much. The bistro food menu is equally reflective of the simple and straightforward Aussie tastebuds and palate. If the beach is your feel for a much-needed holiday, the Caves Coastal is the place to be!
