Pretty Beach House

Wir waren nach 4 Wochen Reisen ziemlich müde! Im Pretty Beach House wurden wir empfangen wie Freunde. Wir wurden verwöhnt und uns wurde jeder Wunsch von den Augen abgelesen. Das Highlight war, dass wir an einem Abend alleinige Gäste waren und an der Bar mit Blick in die Küche zu Abend essen konnten. Wir konnten sehen was der Koch alles für uns zauberte. Das Essen war sensationell gut...wir konnten nichts bemängeln. Vielen Dank an alle, für diese wunderbaren Tage. Wir haben es sehr genossen!

All inclusive enjoyable getaway to celebrate our anniversary with attentive staff, fine food and beautiful beach backdrop. Enjoyed the seafood theme requested for our dining and offset all the eating with some great local hikes to nearby Lobster and Tallow beaches including spotting an Echidna in the wild. Thank you to all the staff. Annie and Joe.

Second visit to PBH, first was pre-COVID. The food was exceptional again, an absolute highlight! The setting is stunningly relaxing, the sounds of the bush all around make this the ultimate place to relax. We were a bit disappointed at the firm restriction on taking a bottle of wine back to our room, or order bottles to our room (a change from last time). We were told it was RSA restrictions, although we've not had similar experiences elsewhere, and I'm not sure I'd have been told that had I ordered from the Cellar List. We had previously enjoyed lounging by the pool and being able to top up a glass without having to engage with anyone to ask for 'another glass', or go to the door to collect it. During one dinner, we also had to get up to ask for wine to be served to us. Not a huge deal, but at the tariff charged, we were expecting (and had previously received) better service and more generous offerings. These experiences made it feel like a cost saving exercise. On a positive note, great to see that they're continuing to serve Pol Roger as standard champagne. That said, having experienced a few of these types of lodgings now, I really hope they revisit some aspects of their current approach. A key element is not having to ask for or think about anything at these places, that the staff are always a step ahead, so this did take away from that a bit on this trip unfortunately.

My husband and I have been spoiled beyond belief at Pretty Beach House for the last 2 nights. It’s a beautiful private green haven situated on the Central Coast; a hidden treasure. 4 couples in total is all they accommodate. The comfortable villas plus the beautiful food and wine served by the wonderful staff there makes for a special break. 3 chefs Camilla, Duncan and Dean fed us amazing meals. Missy, Grace and Colin looked after our every need and quickly became friends. If you are not happy at Pretty Beach House, you won’t be happy anywhere.

What a wonderful place! Quiet and elegant with friendly, attentive staff, it felt very special to be staying somewhere so intimate. We spent one night in Bayview pavilion with a plunge pool on the deck, then two nights in Treetops in the main building and with a wonderful view down to the bay from the large balcony. We loved both but preferred Treetops for the view and also it had a large freestanding bath by the window. The food was delicious, although technically there was no choice, if we didn’t like something on the menu then an alternative would be offered. We usually took the suggested wines with each course but sometimes made our own choice. On our day of departure we had to leave early and a toaster, bread, pastries, juice, butter and jam was put in the room the night before so we could eat something before leaving. Several walking trails straight from the door which we enjoyed doing. The driveway is very steep and twisty and taxed our hire car somewhat!

A great experience. The Hideaway Pavillion was very comfortable an d the plunge pool (heated) was relaxing to use. The location in Bouddi National Park means that the only noise is the sounds of the birds ! My wife has dietary “issues” and these were catered for by Eduard and Dean magnificently . The quality of the food presented was impressive. My wife is a fan of smoked salmon and was impressed with the quality served. We subsequently found that the smoked salmon came from Norway. All in all we cannot speak too highly of Pretty Beach House and will certainly seek to return in the future. Note: Pretty Beach House provides a free laundry service.
