Fantasy house in a brilliant location.The location was amazing, right on the water and the view over the estuary from the house were lovely.It’s an older house and we didn’t find the beds particularly comfortable but it certainly had everything we needed and the welcome pack of goodies was a nice touch.The main stairs to the house were a little tiresome and probably not suitable for people or pets with any mobility issues. The internet was pretty good, the shower was nice, the kitchen fairly well stocked and there was a lovely woodfire heater that we didn’t need this time but I’m sure it would be nice on cooler days.Expect a little noise from boats and people given how close the house is to the water but it was generally fairly nice and quiet when we were there.

Water views, sound of waves, homey comforts in Marlo

Welcome gifts for me and a lovely note attached to some home made doggy treats for my fur baby. The well set up comfortable home is in an amazing position with water views. If you have trouble with movement the outside stairs are steep but not insurmountable. Sand castles and water play are so close with the Snowy River out the front of the property only metres away.

Stunning water views

The house is very comfortable. The outlook is gorgeous. Unfortunately we had a problem with the dip between the road and the driveway and scraped the rear of our vehicle (Ford Fairlane) which necessitated unloading and loading the boot at the bottom of the driveway. That apart, we enjoyed walks on the beach with our pooch, had a couple of great meals at the hotel and watched the bird life from the verandah. Cape Conran was certainly worth a visit. The wood fire was a hit but carrying wood up the stairs is testing!

Perfectly peaceful.

Beautifully located overlooking the tranquil estuary at Marlo. The house was very comfortable and thoughtfully stocked with essentials and treats. Walking distance to the pub and only steps away from the beachfront. The balcony was ideal to watch the sunset. Easy check in and out, the house was clean and we appreciated being able to holiday with our pet - who also loved the beach!
