Great family+pet friendly spot

Rob's place was in a great location. It was private, sunny and airy and ideal to get away from the bustle of the city for a couple of nights with the dog and young kids. Rob was friendly and communicative, both in person and via Stayz, and checking in and out was a breeze. The only "criticism" I could possibly make is that there were some bindis in the grass out the front - but being Australia I would have been surprised if there weren't any! Thanks for hosting us :)

Clean, comfy, well-equipped.

Lovely, spacious and everything included, Calypta Retreat is a very nice two-bedroom getaway. Nearby beach is great for dogs ... and people. Would have been nice to have a couple of seats or chairs in the yard.

A truly comfortable stay

Calypta Retreat exceeded our expectations. It's in a great location - walking distance to the beach - and has everything we needed to have a really comfortable stay with our dogs. The yard is fully enclosed and I felt our dogs were safe and secure in the yard. The property is fresh and clean and the linen crisp and smells delightful. Everything is there to make your stay easy and enjoyable and the place is beautifully decorated. We stayed in spring and the smell of the Port Wine Magnolia in the back yard was delicious. Thanks Rob for a providing such a beautiful sanctuary in which to relax.

Lovely, thoughtful accomodation

Calypta Retreat was everything we hoped for. Well appointed, spotless, comfortable and much nicer than other ‘dog friendly’ places we’ve been to. Loved the bookshelf and took advantage of the box of ‘coaster games’. Would definitely return.

We had such a wonderful stay. The whole place was spotless, it was so incredibly clean. We all loved staying and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. A beautiful pet friendly place is hard to find and this place is perfect. All communications were very clear and easy with Rob. Thanks again for a lovely beach getaway.

Great experience

Rob was so helpful as we had a car accident and needed to source accommodation . Went out of his way to assist us . The unit is fully stocked with everything you could need and very clean . The neighbors are very close but I guess it’s just a heavy populated area . Close to the beach and eateries . Highly recommend !!
