Mountains & Ocean Views

Thank You Sharon & Peter for letting us share a little piece of your paradise for a week.
Our apartment was so quiet and secluded, with great views of Mt Gower & Mt Lidgbird and the ocean. The sound of the waves on the reef was so calming. Our apartment was spacious, modern & exceptionally clean and had everything that you could need. We had a outdoor eating area & bbq where we celebrated the sunset & shared meals with our friends, who were in the second unit. Our hosts went out of their way to make sure that everything was perfect & even stepped in to help when our car booking went astray. Thank you Sharon for the lovely coffee, the bubbles in the fridge on our arrival, my first lamb feeding experience & your pre-arrival advice. It all helped make our stay so wonderful.

    This place is special. We stayed a week and loved everything. The unit was superb, with little personal touches supplied by our most gracious and accommodating hosts Sharon and Peter.
    The view from the unit was terrific, and it was so quiet that we slept in every morning. The friendly restaurants were great and after dinner they drive you back to your accommodation. The island is a true gem with flights from Sydney, Port Macquarie and also the Gold Coast it is easier to get to.
    There are only 400 visitors allowed at any time so it isn’t crowded. If you want a great escape, please consider Waimarie at Lord Howe Island, you won’t regret it.

    Room tip: Depends on circumstances, in summer bring swimmers. Diving is catered for as is fishing, bowls and golfing. It is a very restful location.

    Having spent my 60th birthday in Paris I chose to return to Waimarie to celebrate my 70th. Staying here is like visiting friends. We came back after 4 years to find it was even better than last time. Our apartment contained everything we needed plus extra luxuries to add to the experience. Sitting here in Adelaide on our return it is like looking back on a dream. We couldn't have asked for more.

    We arrived feeling tired and stressed and needing a well earned holiday. From the moment we landed we felt very welcome and very much at home.
    The apartment is very private and beautiful appointed. The many extras provided by Peter and Sharon were amazing. My favourite time of day was sitting in the garden
    watching the sunset over the water. The views of Mt Gower and Mt Lidgbird were outstanding. I cant recommend this accommodation enough.
