Cockatoo Cabin Bay of Fires

I had such a lovely time staying at Cockatoo Cabin that I ended up booking another night. My dogs and I found it such a relaxing location and the views (which I hope they do not loose ) was so lovely. Gail was awesome when I had issues with the lock box. The gardens were lovely and a great place for my dogs to be. The room were lovely, I found the bed I slept in the room with ensuite was so comfortable and I like a firmer bed. Having a bath (spa) was so great too and very enjoyable. The location is so close to St Helens. I live in the south of the state and it was so great to have a change in a very quiet location. Only things apart from the lock box, I had issues with were the TV, no instructions at all, and I would have loved to use the coffee machine, looked amazing but again no information on how to use it. I was a bit sad there was no milk even a few UHT milks to make a hot drink on arrival. So not big issues, and I could live without understanding the tv set up. ( I know it says get provisions in St Helens, but I just and wanted to get there unload rest and then decide on provisions. I guess a solo traveller is different to a group or family. Loved it would love to stay again.

Comfortable, well equipped home in good location. Lovely, distant ocean views and secure outdoor space for our small dog.

Thank you so much for a wonderful stay! We absolutely loved the property and really appreciated how dog-friendly everything was — it made our trip so much easier and more enjoyable.And thank you for the chocolates — what a treat! They truly made us smile.We had a great time and would happily stay again.

The house is a masterpiece of 80's decor: salmon pink paint, coloured slate floors (& shower walls!), pine, pine, pine, grungy carpet, old blankets and flimsy non-noise-proof doors... but to be fair, the linen was good and the garden is gorgeous (would be great for little kids and is well contained with lots of covered verandah so really good for a dog too). Whoever does the cleaning is OCD - the place was immaculate, which is not easy with old decor. You can see the beach but the view is obstructed by a fibro house. The position is pretty good, directly up behind the only cafe/restaurant and walking distance to beach (up a reasonable hill!). We paid $620 for 2 nights on a long weekend, which included a compulsory $90 cleaning fee, a $60 child fee and a $50 dog fee! I think this is expensive for the house and have had better value in Binalong Bay paying the same amount for a place with spritzy new bathrooms and an amazing view...having said that, we couldn't take the dog.
