Good family house in Coles Bay

The Lookout is a good option for a big family getaway. Enough space so no one felt crowded and good location - basically halfway between Mures Beach and Richardsons Beach. Air cons in each bedroom was a plus on the hot nights and the yard is secure if you are travelling with your dog. This is the second year we have stayed at the Lookout and would happily return.

Disappointing, dirty and an unhealthy, unsafe backyard for children and pets.

We couldn't use the backyard as it has smelly effluent from the septic pooling on the lawn. The spa worked for one day before it dropped to 16.5 degrees. The rooms were dirty with squashed flies, spider webs and dust. The mattresses were very uncomfortable. There was one dish cloth for the week. We had 9 people booked, but only 8 beds were made up despite paying the extra for the additional bed. The bedding was very sparse and not great quality. There was not enough crockery (until we rang for more) for that many people. Doorknobs and the bin pedal fell off and had to be re-attached. The saucepan handles and knobs were hot when being used and their lid knobs fell off every time we used them. The oven was turned off at the main switchboard. The couches were dirty and marked. Overall a very disappointing property. Generally an uncared for property which needs updating, cleaning and re-equipping. For the nightly fee being charged I expect a much better level of quality.

The lookout

We were very happy with the location of the property and as it had a fenced in backyard, very pet friendly. The layout of the house is great for a large family group but the interior is definitely very tired and some of the furniture could definitely be replaced with clean more serviceable items. The septic system obviously struggles as there was an unpleasant odour wafting around regularly. On a positive note, good quality bedding and towels.

Coles Bay experiences

Property nice but dishes and pots needed to be cleaned again before use left clean what we used. Lots of spider weds inside cupboards, fridge has an awful smell. In general the house was nice and the kids and family had a great time just needs a bit of a tidy up.Would stay again but be nice if it was just a little bit cleaner.

Wonderfully relaxing stay in beautiful Coles Bay

The house is very roomy and comfortable, with living areas spread over two floors. The deck overlooks the hazards, and the kitchen is well equipped. It was ideal for a group of 8 friends looking to have some down time after a very busy year.
