Vacation rentals in Araluen

Loved our stay here. Walking distance to the water and boardwalk. Helen was kind enough to let us have a late checkout on the last day. The house has everything we needed for our short stay

Alana and Mel’s place was the perfect stay with our son. He loved the playground and the toys! The house is also equipped with everything you need for kids (stroller, portacot, cutlery etc). The house was perfectly clean, most comfortable beds and luxury sheets. Close to all beaches, shops and cafes. Could not recommend it more!

A great stay at well described and viewed place, featuring all amenities. Huge living areas, very spacious for privacy or inclusions. Fantastic outdoor living area and dining, with excellent clean pool and surrounding garden area. Close to beach location and food options within walking distance. Would recommend and definitely book again.

Absolute 10/10 stay! Everything was perfect from the tiny details (robes, slippers, tea, milk, olive oil) to the things on offer (board games, yoga mats and snorkles). The house was beautifully designed and super clean, with absolutely everything we could have needed and more. We had such a good time, we ended up extending our stay for an extra night! Will be recommending to all friends and family. Would definitely stay here again! Thanks so much to Rob and Bede for the excellent staycation.

Catherine was very friendly, gave great recommendations and even offered an earlier check in time. I loved the fact my dog was also made to feel at home as there was a bed there for her and a doggie treat 🐶😊. Great attention to detail!

Sam was very responsive to our very minimal needs. He was clear and kind and a wonderful host. The place was absolutely beautiful! It has incredible facilities and a wonderful outdoor area at the front and back for everyone to enjoy. Will definitely be recommending this to others and coming back here myself!

I had a lovely stay at Sam’s property. The house was gorgeous, beautifully decorated and location is gorgeous. The place had everything you need and more. The cupboards were well stocked with staples in case you forgot anything and the bottle of bubbles and Easter eggs on arrival were a lovely touch. Probably the best equipped airbnb I’ve ever stayed in. The location is steps from the beach and there are cute little kangaroos that gather on the grass across from the house in the mornings and evenings. I would definitely stay again! Only one very minor thing I didn’t love is that there aren’t any blinds at the property (only sheer curtains in the ground floor bedrooms), so if you aren’t an early riser or like your privacy at night it feels very bright and open. Also worth noting the closest shop is a 10min drive away, so do a grocery shop before if you are arriving at night. But I still very much enjoyed my stay and will be recommending to my friends.

It was a great stay with my friends and my dog. The place is very peaceful and has all the things we need.

We had a lovely stay at the Happy Pelican on the Easter weekend. The garden cottage was exactly as pictured and described - light and spacious with everything provided. Truly a home away from home! Heinz was an excellent host - responsive and very welcoming. Highly recommended!
