GUEST ACCESS

You will have access to:
Entire house except the locked cupboard

Driftwood House is a beautifully appointed timber beach house renovated with simplicity and coastal living in mind.

Only 75 steps to secluded little Foxes beach. Driftwood Is also ideal for taking refreshing long walks along beautiful Long Beach or fishing in the freshwater estuary.

Also, our neighbours are building a new house. Sometimes you may hear noise, like voices, a radio playing, or tools. The builders don't work every day so they may not even be there.

Great location

Our stay was very relaxing, we loved the location and never tired of the view of the garden and bush across the road on the lake side. We enjoyed walking on the coastal path and the beach was very close and accessible. Inside we were very comfortable and had all we needed.

A beautiful little house.

It is an amazing place in a great location, close to the beach, 20min walk to the restaurants, great neighborhood. The only minus is the internet that was a little slow but overall we loved it and we won't hesitate to book it again next time.

Perfect property

We absolutely loved this beautiful home. We based our trip around the availability of this house, and I’m so glad we did! Perfectly positioned in between the town and Long Beach, the home offers high quality linens, furnishings, and appliances. Large yard and beautiful surroundings. The lovely and responsive owner answered our questions quickly and provided very clear instructions and loads of information on the area. Nice touches included coffee, fruit, bread, and toiletries. Can’t wait to come back! Would highly recommend!

Perfect Cottage

Such a cute and comfortable cottage, it had everything we needed. It's so close to the beach you could hear the waves at night. Welcome pack was lovely, easy check in with host easily contactable if needed. You can walk into town along the coast track or take a short drive. We would definitely stay again.

Perfect Location

Driftwood is a lovely cottage, which was perfect for our small family of three. We had all the comforts of home in this gorgeous seaside town. The highlight for us was the location. Despite being in a great location (a short stroll to the beach and a scenic walk to town) we felt completely secluded. We loved sitting out the front overlooking the wetlands. From the front porch and through the front windows all you can see is greenery. Driftwood and Robe tick all the boxes for a relaxing getaway.
