Dreadful
This is probably the worst place we have ever stayed. Gave the owner an opportunity to refund and offered to provide evidence photographs but owner would not accommodate. Happy to provide anyone with photos. The place has never been cleaned. Owner said professional cleaners went in day before - this is rubbish. Filth, spiders (both alive and dead), cockroaches. The stains on the furniture were so bad that we could not sit on the couch. Foul stains with weird white powder on top, carpet filthy, sand and dirt everywhere, damaged binds. Locks didn't work properly. Cooktop failed to heat so you can't cook. Every plate was chipped. No tall glasses (only one tumbler glass) to drink out of so my young son hard to drink out of a tall beer glass. Cutlery was dirty. Actual rubbish from previous guests in the garden outside, paper plates and garbage. Seriously overpriced. The furniture all looks like it was off the side of the road. The owner said I never told her about taking two dogs, but I emailed her weeks before the date specifically asking about fencing for my two dogs and she replied. So am not sure how she can say she didn't know. Happy to provide evidence of this also. As I said, offered the owner to refund and provide photos but she would not agree. Cobwebs, all paintings on a lean. No one had cleaned this place at all. Foul. Disappointing. Overpriced.

wonderful week at this property
Loved the views, well equipped house with toiletries and kitchen items. Welcome pack was appreciated. Extremely handy to the dog beach, only a few minutes walk. House worked well with our dogs as there is a fenced area at the side where they could eat and stay when we went out. The house is starting to look a little tired for the amount it costs at peak time, however it was clean, the beds were comfortable and the separate tv area worked well so that didn’t bother us. Nice areas to sit outside, although it was windy most days so it’s good you can see the views from inside. Helen and Ian are very responsive and communication was prompt and clear. Overall we had a wonderful holiday and enjoyed the location and house a lot.

Great stay
Great communication with the owners. Beautiful house, no aircon was an issue until we realised that the big windows cool the house down with the breeze so well, also every room had its own portable fan. 10 minute walk to any shops and the entrance to the beach is just down your driveway (there is one to the beach from the house but it isn’t great for older people as it can get a little steep). Absolutely would recommend.

Fantastic mini break
Golden Shores is a fabulous location that has everything our group was looking for . Magnificent views, access to the beach, great cafes within walking distance and the house was, clean, well equipped and comfortable, providing everything we needed. Helen is a wonderful host, leaving a basket of goodies that included a well received bag of treats for our two pups and offering us early check in and late check out so we could maximise our time at the beach. We were a group of 8 adults , split between two generations and this property ticked the boxes for us all. We will definitely be back to explore the area further.

Views for miles
Beautiful views, well equipped house. So relaxing and so handy to the beach, only a few minutes walk. Stunning beaches. Local food and service faultless. The house is tired and worn, and not overly clean but not an issue enough to take away from the ocean views, the sounds of crashing waves and the serenity that is the sea! On a clear night, star gazing is a must! Helen and Ian are very responsive

Excellent location. The house is ok but needs maintenance.
Some windows wouldn't open. Blinds didn't work etc. Great for supply of crockery and appliances. Needs an iron and towel airer. Also need access to the 3rd bathroom in the studio because the one main bathroom is not sufficient for the 8 people without the ensuite. Overall a very nice place and an enjoyable stay.

Family holiday
Amazing location. Heavy rain caused a leak from the skylight which disappointing the owner was aware of when notified. We had 9 people with only 8 dining chairs available. The house can cater for 10 people! Another outdoor setting would enable the whole group to sit on the back deck and enjoy the amazing view. Overall just looking a little tired. Well appointed kitchen and appliances good. We had a fun family holiday.

Dirty and Upsetting
Stains on pillow and quilt. Dirty sandy floor and table tops. Food crumbs on the floor. Black mould in the bedroom. Pet hair on surfaces. Dead spiders and cockroaches on bedroom floor and in bath. (I suppose that is better than live ones). Unclean place and owner was not willing to offer a solution and believed cleaners over me. Of course they would say they cleaned the place! He accused me of lying about the state of the house despite us supplying pictures. Had the owner had offered a sensible solution on the night, we might not of been in this mess. He offered a full refund minus service fee and went back on his word resulting in us losing close to a thousand dollars and ruining a holiday that was meant to be a memorable 50th birthday with good friends. We had an agreement and he went back on his word. He offered partial reimbursement and then refused to cover alternative accommodation, which was less than the current accommodation. He would not cover the cost of the hotel room we had to stay in because of due to lack of accommodation because at short noticed. So sad. So upsetting.

Relaxing Birthday weekend
Our group of 5 was thrilled with every aspect of this property. Very spacious and so well equipped. The view was amazing, and in light of the dreadful weather during our stay was ideal, as we could watch the waves and the storms roll in from the comfort of a panoramic living room.

Lovely beachfront holiday home
Golden Shores is a lovely family beach house, spacious and comfortable with a wonderful position overlooking Culburra Beach and direct access to the beach. The house, with it's 2 living areas, was perfect for our extended family. The kitchen is large and well equipped - we were particularly grateful for the supplies of basic store cupboard items. An umbrella on the back deck would be a great addition since it can get very hot in the morning sun. We all really liked the fact that we had the surf beach in front of us, and the calm beaches of north Jervis Bay only a 20 minute drive away. Helen and Ian were very easy and prompt to deal with, and we all hope to return for another visit.

An excellent getaway!
Thank you for a lovely long weekend at Golden Shores. The house was everything we hoped for, and the added bonus was our hosts being super organised and generously accommodating. The beach views from the kitchen, dining and lounge area meant we spent most of our time cooking, eating, and relaxing while watching the waves come in, after a walk or a surf. An excellent spot to be as active or as tranquil as you please. Thank you so much. We look forward to returning!

Close to beach not to far to the shops , easy access to the beach.
We found that the property was in need of some updating and repairs, ie the blinds in some rooms did not work , toilet set in on suit broken , roof leaked water in the tv lounge area , roof leaked from fire place flue. Oven was dirty, dish washer smelt had to clean the filter out . I think for the fee they charge for cleaning , the place should be spotless ,also there were spider webs and a few cockroaches found . Other wise we had a good 4 days , I just thought I’d let them know so they can attend to these problems regards Noel Harris.
