Liked: Cleanliness
The view was incredible, right on the beach. There's a beach access right next to the villa and at times, late during the night, it didn't feel safe as people were peaking in. Probably needs a reno, especially the bathroom area. The kitchen was nice, a microwave oven would have been a nice addition and a dishwasher. Overall a nice stay.

Perfect place for a blissful break
The accommodation was a very spacious, split level, studio style apartment looking directly onto the ocean through full length glass windows and sliding doors. Everything in the apartment was of the highest quality and comfort. The beach and ocean were visible from everywhere, including the bedroom area and spa bath. The owner was very helpful and welcoming, and then left us in total privacy. I can highly recommend this as a great place for a quiet and relaxing break.

Absolutely stunning position.
We have stayed at many places in Australia and Overseas, mainly 5 star hotel resorts and Al Mare Beachfront Retreat is as good and in most cases even better than many of the places we have stayed. The accessibility to either of the two beaches right outside your front yard does not get any better. Great location for Romance,Relaxation,Peace and Quite. Thank you for service and hospitality, we will be back again. Tony & Blaga

Great long weekend getaway from busy Sydney life. We tried booking for XMAS/ New Year Time in first week October but couldn't get the booking as it was all booked out till Jan first week. Best location facing the ocean. Comfortable room with all the amenities. Would definitely go there again. Highly recommended. Very friendly & polite owners.
