About this Holiday House

Beautiful two-story architecturally designed top-end fit-out cedar home located at the southern end of Medlands Beach. Set in private native bush the place has amazing unobstructed North-facing 270 degree views over Medlands beach, bay and mountains beyond. Just a few minutes walk to spectacular Medlands beach via road or a bush track. The main house is a two story 140 square meter structure with two bedrooms down stairs surrounded by native bush. Able to sleep a maximum of 5 the bedrooms are made up of a master with a double bed and one single including an en-suite. The second bedroom has a double bed with wardrobe and a bathroom located across the hallway. Upstairs is the main open-plan lounge and kitchen offering superb sea views. The kitchen has a large fridge freezer with gas stove and hobs. Pedestrian access via foot bridge (from camp ground) across stream and then an eight minute walk to the house. Vehicle access to all houses requires crossing of this Oruawharo tidal stream at low tide!!! A 4WD vehicle is required, but what I include is a 4x4 Toyota Hilux on opposite side of foot bridge to be used free of change (exclusively on this side only) during your entire stay for transporting passengers and luggage to the house. There's a meet and greet at the food bridge to exchange car keys and unlock the house. World class surfing, fishing and diving on the door step. The southern end of Medlands beach is suitable for boat launching. Also available is a 40 square meter studio dwelling with one double bed and two singles with en-suite that increases your guest capacity to a total of eight for an extra $250/night flat rate. Please note that these listed rates are for the main house only, the photos are clearly labeled main house and studio, the studio is $250 extra for larger groups for the entire complex. The entire complex is eco friendly with drinkable rain catchment water and solar panels providing all electrical power. All meals are self-catered therefore if you want specialty items it is suggested you bring these with you to the island although there are shops and cafes located at Claris, Tryphena and Port Fitzroy if you have your own transport.

Katherine Fuller
Superb location overlooking Medlands Beach with great views of the hills and island beyond. The house is a short walk to the beach as well as being in a good place for exploring the rest of the island. Very comfortable, clean and well equipped. Anthony was a fantastic host and made sure we had everything we needed.
Response from Owner
Thank you very much Kath for that review, everybody who stays find it hard to depart. You have been my best guests ever, wanted to say thank you very much for leaving the place so clean, BBQ, kitchen, beds stripped, HOBS rubbish out just Wow. You're definitely so welcome back, I'll give you a discount too. Very much appreciated with total respect 🫡
Tanya Rystwej
Property is evidently older, with several appliances broken down when we stayed there. Moderately clean, and functional for what we needed
Response from Owner
The house is a top end fit out only eight years old. It is equipped with more than what should be required at any standard rental property, eg two fridges and two freezers, yes one freezer wasn’t working but and I had communicated that before guests arrived, being on an Island it’s not possible to ring a refrigeration technician to fix a freezer issue especially over Christmas time, plenty of appliances to make any guests happy. Every other guest has been more than satisfied with the property reflected with five star reviews.
Adrienne Morales

Response from Owner
