Cooinda was the most perfect base to show off the gorgeous Jervis Bay area to overseas visitors. Set in a wonderful setting, this modern, beautiful home with every amenity you could need ensured our visit was a truly memorable one. We highly recommend booking this great house and will definitely be back again to sit in the afternoon sun on the balcony taking in the waterview in real comfort.

Cooinda is just beautiful. My family and myself live very busy lives so to find that piece of heaven for 5 days was awesome. Everything that we needed was in the house and the track around the lake was perfect for morning and afternoon walks. We will definitely be back.

Wonderful.

We had a really wonderful time, however the' sloping path' to the bottom of the back yard was inaccessible for us and we found the dining chairs uncomfortable... we're card players and sat for hours at a time. Neither of these things detracted from our stay. Loved being in the treetops, loved the water and bush views. And it was a very convenient location for us.

So Relaxing!

This was our 4th visit to this property - it's like a home away from home. The house was clean and well equipped. Communication with the owner was excellent and always welcoming. The peace and tranquillity is such a change from our busy suburban lives. As a bird photographer, I am never disappointed in the number of birds that visit the area. Lots of great places to visit and activities to do in the Shoalhaven District

Lovely view

The view of the lake was quite lovely. The communication with the owners was great and while the house was very clean, unfortunately it was a bit too small for our family of two adults and three children aged 8 - 14. Not the owners fault and we did know when we booked that there was just the one bathroom and toilet and living area, but it was a bit smaller than we expected and little cramped for us. While the view was lovely, we found the location to be a little too far from the places we most wanted to see, like the beaches and even places to eat or shop. It’s in a quiet and lovely residential area but not really within walking distance to anything, although we did walk to St George’s Basin golf club (about 20 minutes each way and the club does have a courtesy bus). The lake walk was lovely but we found the lake to be quite shallow and it was not that great for swimming etc. Lots and lots of seaweed too and not much sand. We also didn’t realise when we booked quite how far we had to walk from the house down to the lake and how very steep it would be (we could not tell this from the photos). Additionally, there is a massive tree that has come down and blocks the access to the lake (the owners did mention this although we didn’t realise just how bad it was) and where the paddle skis are located it’s still a steep hike to get them to the water and they are heavy too. So we used one of the boards just the once, gave up on the canoe straight away as it wasn’t very stable and repeatedly tipped over. We really did like the different eating nooks located both at the front and back of the house and we used these all the time. And my husband and I quite enjoyed sitting on the back veranda after the kids were in bed looking at the lake over a quiet drink. The sunsets too were quite lovely. While the house was quite comfortable we have a couple of suggestions to improve the comfort. Firstly, we couldn’t seem to open the bedroom windows and it was quite stifling and stuffy on warm nights, even after we had the a/c on so perhaps some ceiling fans in the bedrooms would be terrific (the pedestal fans in the bedrooms can’t really be positioned for good effect). Also, more pegs and a clothes horse and/or dryer. We constantly had difficulty getting wet towels and clothes dry especially when it rained or overnight with heavy due. Some plastic storage containers, microwave dishes and some updated saucepans with matching lids would also be good.

A very tranquil and quite spot. Great for families

Family enjoyed location and home. Fire place was lovely on the cold nights. We had a few rainy days and a tumble dryer would have made the stay that little more comfortable. The area around the fire place became a makeshift laundromat for drying our cloths. I wish we could have had better weather to kayak or canoeing as it is very close to the bay..maybe next time

Paradise on Earth

Pictures fail to capture the true beauty of this property! The views together with the gorgeous flora, fauna and sound of the birds singing all combine to create the most serene atmosphere one can ever wish for on a getaway! A few minor cons: The kitchen needs some work, there is damage to the kitchen bench, the draws and cupboards were abit dusty and smelly. It seems that pest control has not been done; there were lots of spider webs over the outdoor setting at the back and even under the beds inside. The bench at the back was quite unstable especially if 2 people sat on either end. You need to balance out the weight when you sit. From the photos and description it seemed the backyard was level with the water but it is actually a very steep walk/staircase downhill. This was not an issue for us but might be for others As I said these were minor issues, overall we were extremely happy with our stay at the COOINDA and look forward to coming again!

Amazing

The property was absolutely a sanctuary, a quiet peaceful place with a beautiful outlook. My wife and I, with our 4 month old son bouncing in his bouncer, loved just gazing out through the trees onto St Georges Basin all day. Photos cannot capture how beautiful the view actually is. There is also a great little track coastal walk down the hill near the water.... walk up this track about 100m to your right at sunset, and there is a little point with an amazing sunset view over the basin. Shops are nearby, and the barefoot coffee shop is walking distance and worth a visit. Everything you could need is provided, from basics to little luxuries. Everything about the property is well maintained, clean and thoughtful. Thank you Tony and Isabelle!
