Beachfront holiday rental in Avoca Beach

We stayed over a weekend with our two children and some friends. It was torrentially raining for the first 24 hours which was bad luck and made the journey a bit trickier with cancelled ferries but we made it and the sun came out for us and we had a lovely weekend in the incredible surroundings of Mackerel Beach. It’s such a peaceful and magical spot. Relatively close to Sydney but it feels like you’re so far away when you wake up there. Claudia and Richard gave us detailed and clear instructions which made the logistics so much easier. The kids loved the cricket kit and beach equipment. We all appreciated the kitchen set up as we all like to cook. Eating out on the deck was really special. Will definitely be back to Mackerel beach.

We had a lovely stay at Tasman's house. The house was thoughtfully prepared and the children enjoyed all the comforts provided!

2nd year here for her annual girls weekend absolutely perfect great location beautiful host and everything as described. Great price for a relaxing time.

Liz and Larry’s place was excellent and better than we expected - the photos don’t do it justice. The location is fantastic and Liz and Larry went the extra mile to make sure our stay was great. The kids loved the canoeing, boating, fishing and access to water right on the doorstep, Thank you !

Gorgeous location and one of the best stocked Airbnbs we’ve ever stayed in, in terms of crockery, cutlery, coffee machine, salad bowls, bread boards plus surplus stock for bathrooms, kitchen needs etc. We had a really great stay in every way.

Thank you so much for the beautiful stay. An amazing view of the lake, lots of space for families, clean and felt like home. Would definitely recommend and we will be back!

So relaxing! Close to the beach, the restaurants, the shops. Quiet, comfortable bed, great balcony space. Ralph was a bonus to welcome us! Carly and Jerry were great communicators and the flexible Sunday check out was much appreciated.

We had an amazing stay as a group of friends at this wonderful Airbnb! The location couldn’t be better—having the beach just across the street made our trip truly special. Our host was exceptionally helpful, always available to assist with anything we needed, and provided great local recommendations. The place itself was comfortable, clean, and perfect for a group getaway. The only minor watchpoint is the 1.5 bathroom setup, but we made it work without any issues. We absolutely loved our time here and would love to come back!

We had a fantastic stay at Neha's apartment. Everything was clean n tidy and Neha was a great host.

Our party of 5 including grandparents and 2 yr old son had a lovely stay at Michelle's. we stayed for 4 nights and spent the mornings at the beach which is just around the corner and lazy afternoons in the pool. The garden and house are well maintained and very cosy for a family trip away. I'd recommend stocking up on food as there are currently no shops/cafes at Pearl beach, but it was handy having a coffee cart turn up next door in the mornings. Even though there is construction building next door, my 2 year old son loved watching the machines and was disappointed when they weren't working on the weekend！Thanks again for sharing your home with us Michelle, we will be back！

This was a really great place to stay and I wouldn’t hesitate to book there again. It was spotlessly clean, well appointed and centrally located….highly recommend!

Really enjoyed my stay It was as described and very family friendly. Nice quiet location. Kids loved the pool. Will be back for sure.

Adrian’s place was so homely and comfortable. The beds were so soft and we didn’t want to leave that lounge! We had just the right amount of space for 4 adults and 2 kids. Adrian was very generous and thoughtful. Even leaving ice blocks in the freezer for the kids! The pool and games room was a hit with the kids. Great for the couple of rainy days we got during our stay. This was probably the most comfortable air b n b experience we’ve had. Everything ran smoothly thanks to a great host.

Amazing home, nice and close to the beach. Clean, spacious and great for groups or families

This is a wonderful property and perfect for a couple’s get-away. The entry and access need a degree of sure-footedness. Amanda the host is marvellous and helpful and the property is very comfortable, has a stunning outlook and is beautifully appointed. Strongly recommended.

Fantastic space with super responsive hosts. Their recommendations for the private chef and yoga made the birthday and renion with our Oz friends and their families a very memorable event. The proximity to the convenience store was perfect for all our necessities. The lap pool, spa and direct beach access to the epic surf was a big highlight! We would highly recommend spending some quality time at Kalakua House.

The house was beautiful and very conveniently located. The beach is just down the road and there is a small strip of cafes with a general store up the road. There was quite a bit of construction in the area which created some noise, but the area itself was lovely and made up for that. Would recommend for a group of adults or families looking for a quiet beach getaway.

Excellent hosts and great location combined with fantastic weather made for a wonderful stay.

Wonderful place for a larger group. Fits everyone comfortably. Amazing location and private access to the beach & lagoon

My friends and I had a wonderful stay in an idyllic setting opposite the ocean. One of my friends had reduced mobility at this time but could still enjoy the 270 degree views of the sea from the apartment. A great place to relax and close walking distance to The Entrance shops and beaches. Luisa was very responsive and addressed all my questions, flexible with check in and check out which was simple.

I honestly can’t say enough about how phenomenal this experience was. I came off of a 20 hour flight and couldn’t wait to relax, cook dinner, and enjoy being on the water. It was the most beautiful sunset I had ever seen and one of the best night’s sleep of my life. From being picked up at the dock to the adventure of the return trip back to shore, I would recommend this incredible stay to anyone!

What a beautiful, peaceful place that had all the necessary amenities a 2 min walk from the spectacular pearl beach. It was perfect & Carla and Chloe were great hosts and were very generous to give us a late check out on Sunday. The spa is pretty special although a bit finicky if you don’t know how to use it - thankfully our hosts were very responsive in helping with this. My only note is to maybe make sure if you need more linen/towels than what they provide for the 4 doubles and one single bed (9 people). We booked the house for 11 (there is a room with fold out couches) but those 2 guests didn’t get towels or linen. Final thing is the property has close neighbours so there are a lot of rules to do with noise etc. This makes sense as I assume the hosts have been burned before and must protect their relationship with the local community but if you want somewhere you can feel free to sing your heart out around the fire pit until the wee hours go elsewhere. Thanks for everything!

Frances was 100% the perfect host. Nothing was too much trouble. She responded to any queries, all minor, within minutes. And the place was lovely - spotlessly clean, little chocolate treats and fruit on arrival, the fridge and pantry was stocked with breakfast goods (she even asked what type of milk we’d prefer before we arrived). And the views out over the Pacific Ocean were stunning. This is the perfect place to spend a relaxing few days - watching the ever changing sea, going for coastal walks, taking in the local markets or whatever floats your boat. One of the best Airbnb’s I’ve stayed at.

What a superb place! We celebrated a special birthday with the family and could not have asked for anything more. The views were even better than the photos, the house was well equipped and private. An added bonus was the kayaking and SUPing from the private jetty. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
