Cozy, Coastal and Canine Friendly

Simple little coastal getaway! Just a 2-minute walk to the river and a quick drive to both the dog friendly beach and the calmer swimming spot at The Bluff. The location was convenient - bakery, takeaway and the new Sedgers Reef Hotel were all a short walk. The yard is fully fenced and grassy, with a gated porch. No carpet, easy to keep clean and everything as advertised.

Relaxing few nights at the beach

The property is perfectly located for a relaxing beach holiday. The house had everything we needed as well as being super doggy friendly with a good sized secure yard. Iluka is also a lovely friendly beachside town with a great dog beach and the house has really easy access to the river beaches as well (which our dogs loved even more than the beach!).

Family Holiday

We booked Blue Haven a year in advance, primarily because it’s dog-friendly. Sadly, our dog passed away before our trip, but if you’re traveling with a pet, this is the perfect place—it’s incredibly accommodating and welcoming to dogs. Tatum was an exceptional host, always just a message away whenever we had a question. The kitchen is well-equipped, making cooking easy, and the house is only a short walk to local shops and the park near the lake. The beds were a bit firm for my taste, and the kids were disappointed there wasn’t Wi-Fi, but it definitely encouraged them to unplug and enjoy the surroundings. Overall, it’s a lovely holiday house—especially if you’re bringing a furry family member along.
