Outside there is also a built in gas BBQ and meals area which captures beautiful morning sunlight, but is then shaded from the hot afternoon sun.

There is an outdoor shower to rinse off after arriving home from the beach.

In the downstairs area there is also a separate TV room with direct views onto the pool.

A bedroom with queen bed and ensuite, laundry with washer and dryer, and powder room are also downstairs.

The kitchen is fully equipped with Miele oven and steam oven, gas stove top, separate drinks fridge and all appliances. There is a Breville Oracle coffee machine for freshly ground coffee.

Stunning

4 night stay with 2 families. Plenty of space for the nine of us. Complete comfort - furnished beautifully. Beds, pillows, linen comfortable. The kitchen was incredible, although draws took a bit of getting use to. Large fridge/freezer plus a drinks fridge. Freezer draw as full of ice which gave us a smile - open plan living with plenty of reason for enjoying good food and wines. The coffee machine was put to use and was brilliant to have in the house. The pool was the highlight though - lovely and warm and perfectly clean with stunning tiles throughout. The selection of board/games were used amongst the kids and a tricky puzzle kept us entertained. We had a very comfortable and relaxing few days. Easy walk to shops and surf. Melissa was prompt to answer any questions we had during our stay - Thank-you. We had a great time and would highly recommend Zeally Bay Hideaway.

Tranquil Family Retreat

Fantastic location and beautiful property. The children loved Solar/ gas heater pool as we didn't get the best weather. Great space for the whole family, never felt we were on top of each other. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Family long weekend

Zeally Bay hideaway has a wow impression. The numerous living spaces, good sized kitchen & sufficient number of bedrooms made it very comfortable to stay in. The heated pool was very well used by all! The negatives were full dustbins when we arrived, frustration in closing kitchen cupboards, very dirty around bbq area (& cobwebs everywhere)

Extremely disappointed.

We stayed here, as a family, the night before my daughter’s wedding. We took perfect care of the property and enjoyed the house’s close proximity to the main streets of Torquay. However, the downstairs toilet wasn’t working, the house was covered in cobwebs, the property manager was absolutely disgusting to deal with, and we were charged extra for filling up the bins (accumulating rubbish as a family of 5 over a 3 day period is surely not unheard of). In addition to that, we were accused of doing a puzzle that was actually already complete and sitting on top of a wardrobe when we arrived — we never touched it — and charged extra for ‘moving furniture’. The only furniture we moved was 2 kitchen stools to an upstairs bathroom. We have never stayed at such a disappointing property. Do not stay here unless you want to be charged extra for absolutely no reason, and unless you like being verbally abused over the phone. An absolutely horrific experience, and a filthy property. Do not stay here.
