Quiet location with lovely view of treetops. We enjoyed the sounds of various birds and proximity to beautiful beaches. Space was ample, clean, and Janet and Frank provided all that we needed for a comfortable stay.

.

Great stay. Excellent and very prompt communication. It was just for a night but the house was presented nicely! Thank you.

The place is comfortable like home, Janet&Frank are much friendly, they even prepared champagne, and chocolate on our arrival, much warming! The location of property is also easy to get train and drive to Gosford with 20mins. We all feel satisfied with their all arrangement.

Thanks for good house.

Janet & Frank are very easy to contact. Enjoyed our stay. Would recommend.

Place is very nice just as described.

Shambala is indeed the tranquil retreat described by the hosts. Nestled amongst the treetops this mid-century architecturally designed home offered great views in a very quiet neighbourhood. I stayed for 6 weeks and the house had all the amenities and facilities necessary for a long stay. Bus stops, the Narara railway station and corner shop are well within walking distance but beaches, cinemas, supermarkets, restaurants and pubs require a car. The signal for mobile broadband was adequate. The whitegoods were clean and modern but the furnishings and decor were a little dated and the interior could do with a fresh coat of paint. Janet and Frank are excellent hosts and responded very quickly to any queries.

Jian Qiang is quick with response and is considerate in giving the best for the guest. His place was nice, clean and cosy, perfect for a short getaway with friends/family. Would defefinately come by again.

A nice and cosy place.

Diana's house was a great home base for our week in the Central Coast. Well equipped with everything and Diana is just lovely. Replied very quickly to any questions we had making our stay even more convenient.

Great place, modern and private.

Diana's place was great! Had everything you could think of. The house was well styled and was a short walk to the waters edge. If your looking for a quiet place to relax, this is the spot.

Diana's place was great for our night away from Sydney. The house was immaculately clean and very well styled. Not far from some great Central Coast beaches. My little boys (5 and 3) enjoyed it too.

Great place, modern, clean and good beds. Kitchen had everything you could need. Highly recommend if you need a place near Gosford

A really cool little place to get away from it all, highly recommend a visit to Salty Kisses

The place is amazing! We thought we would be able to see the lake from the house as per the picture on the post, yet the great interior design and coziness of the place made up for it. Diana was available for anything we needed. Check in and out was very simple. Thanks!

Great location, big enough to easily fit our family with 3 kids and in-law's. Amanda provided us with excellent advice to visit the surroundings and we certainly recommend Amamda's place if you like a dip in the pool with a relaxed evening barbecuing outside!

Thanks Amanda for a great stay! We had 6 people and found the place comfortable for the amount of people. The photos describe Amanda's place accurately and she was easy to contact at any time if we needed. Her place is in a great location close to local shops and a short drive to Terrigal. Highly recommend Amanda as a host and her place for a nice getaway.

Really enjoyed our stay at Amanda's house. Within 5 minutes of arriving the grandchildren (aged 10 & 11) were having fun in the pool and I was relaxing in the sun. There was no need to rush down to the shops as Amanda has stocked the kitchen with necessities like milk, bread, butter, cold water, cereals, tea, coffee etc. Amanda even had frozen fruit ice pops in the freezer. Girls had a great time at the Aqua Splash only 7 mins drive away. House was clean, had lots of natural light and very private. We had a couple of 40 degree days during our stay and the air conditioning and fans in the bedrooms were adequate. Amanda was a great host and very helpful. I would definitely recommend staying here and I hope to be back soon. Thanks for a relaxing holiday Amanda.

good location, easy to travel to from sydney. close drive to many shops. 20-30 min drives from beaches which isn't the most ideal, however it is near to some very nice water views and cafes.

We spent 7 nights at Point Clare. The property was pretty much as described, although the fencing on arrival was not quite up to containing large dogs. Amanda (who was there to greet us) quickly got working on some temporary fencing (which we understand will soon be permanent) and the problem was solved ! - Thanks Amanda :-) The house was spotless, and comfortable, as was the pool - which we took advantage of several times over the warm weather during the week. A beautiful peaceful spot, with creek at the back of the property and an abundance of wildlife - something I was not expecting so close to West Gosford ! All in all a wonderful first airbnb experience - Happy to recommend.

I stayed during a very hot few days and the pool was very welcome. Amanda was very helpful and informative. She gave me tips about where to take my dogs for dog friendly beach not far away and other walks in the area.

We had a wonderful stay at Amanda's house. It's made us want to leave Sydney and move to the Central Coast! We had some visitors here from England and they loved seeing a real Australian street and coastal living away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The house is on a quiet street and we felt very relaxed there. We used it as a base to explore the local beaches and managed to see: Ettalong, Umina, Terrigal and Avoca all in a weekend as they're all only a 10-20 minute drive away. Loved relaxing in the pool on an evening and having barbecues, we even saw a wild bush turkey. The house itself was very clean with contemporary, beachy furnishings and Amanda left us lots of things in the kitchen which was an added bonus. We would recommend and come back. There were 4 of us staying here, but it could having easily fit another 4.

Amanda's house is just as described - an original 70s house - renovated nicely, in a very convenient location, surrounded by bush and with a nice pool which was much appreciated on a hot day. We found it very comfortable and well equipped.

Kerry is a sweet natured, attentive, lovely host. We had an amazingly serene time. It really is a "Touch of Bali" in every sense as you feel as if you have been transported there. Every need a guest could possibly have was catered to. We were thorougly impressed in the attention to detail the place had. Gorgeous pieces from Indonesia found throughout. Great place to get away to with its tranquil and zen environment. Superb views of the beach in a quaint neighbourhood. Spotted a turkey frollicking about! Overall wonderful experience.

Kerry is a calming and lovely host who made us feel most welcome but without being intrusive in any way. A Touch of Bali was all you could want and more. We were welcomed with soft music playing and a bottle of wine. Nothing is missing and no detail has gone undone. The place is rejuvenating and relaxing, cleaner than some five star resorts with beautiful comfortable beds, gorgeous gardens, different places to sit candles, music, incense all provided, a BBQ, and a beautiful pool area. There is nothing we could fault and we will most definitely be back and have already recommended to family and friends. Thank you to Kerry & Bob for creating an oasis of calm & serenity for others to enjoy.

Kerry was a fantastic host , communication was very easy . Touch of Bali was amazing , and is exact what it looks like in pictures - better in person . Highly recommend it !

Kerry's place is by far the most incredible and unique bnb we have ever come across. Peaceful, homey, private, well equipped and decorated; and BEAUTIFUL. We initially planned on exploring the surrounding beaches and trails but couldn't find it in ourselves to leave the tranquil garden, hammock and pool. Kerry has poured so much thought and love into this place and we are so grateful for her hospitality and attention to detail. Can't wait to be back!

Thank you very much Kerry! We had an awesome weekend. It is even more beautiful than on the pictures. I def recommend this place! It is very convenient (Aldi, bottle shop and train station at walking distance) and very quiet. We will come back for sure! Some of my friends are planning to visit you as well!

This place is like paradise! We truly felt like in Bali. Kerry is a wonderful host and took really good care of us. The house is very clean, very nicely decorated. The garden offers a very relaxed and calm atmosphere. All beaches are very close to the house but you need a car to access it. I would absolutely recommend this place. Thank you again!

Me and my partner had such an amazing experience with Kerry and her wonderful place "A touch of Bali" . We arrived there early and Kerry was very helpful and helped us settle in. The place is absolutely wonderful. We felt very welcomed and comfortable . Even though it was just for one night we are already planning to go back for a few nights next time . Thank you Kerry and Bob for everything :)

Despite the rain, Kerry welcomed us with a warm hug upon arrival and really gave us the privacy we hoped to get on our holiday. Personally I don't think the pictures of the place do much justice, it is bigger & more spacious in real life! Candles, amazing incense, the pool; I loved every thing about Kerry's wonderful place. If you are looking for a private, relaxed and inexpensive holiday, A Touch of Bali will not disappoint!

Alex is a very hospitable and friendly host and made us feel right at home from the start. The accommodation was spacious and very comfy. Our daughter had lots of toys to play with, room to run around in the yard and also enjoyed riding along the cyclepath just behind the house. We'd be happy to stay again in the future as our daughter would have enjoyed a playmate. (Alex's family was away during our stay). Thanks again for opening your home to us Alex.

We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful, peaceful place. The house was really great. Very clean and tidy. Alex is such a warm, friendly person. Everything was perfect. Thank you Alex for being a wonderful host.

We had a fantastic weekend. Alex was away but Cecilia was wonderful, very lovely and their daughter Morgan was so sweet. Huge room, walk in wardrobe and bathroom. Space downstairs for us but also welcome to share area upstairs.. Had meals upstairs out on the deck and full use of kitchen. Could also use back garden if we wanted. Cecilia also cooked us yummy pancakes for breakfast. Thank you!

The place was extremely clean and comfortable. Even though I stayed at the place for small amount of time but I really enjoyed the time I was there. The perfect balcony that comes with a bit of breeze from the water, that red wine, that awesome evening chat(alcoholic related) with Alex and Cecilia plus the company of their lovely daughter Morgan being the DJ of the night playing all these pop music ... I would recommend anyone to stay at their place...

Our stay with Alex was fantastic!we were made to feel so welcome, it was a very friendly environment. We had our own space,enough to feel like you were in your own apartment. Although it was out of town,there were shops close for convenience and public transport to get to the city and other areas was excellent and only a short walk away. Would thoroughly recommend this property, was better than we could have hoped for.

Highly recommended. Alex and Cecilia are fantastic and friendly hosts that made me feel very welcome. The room is generously sized with a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite for a reasonable price. One of the best on the Central Coast.

Alex is a great host. He is kind and gentle. The house is second story house and your place will be whole ground place which has masteroom with ensuite & TV, NBN, living area with fireplace, mini dinning area with small refrigerator, laundry and outdoor tables. Nice and clean everywhere and very convenient to use all area. The host stay upstairs and go to work daytime. It's located next to train rail but the noise doesnt bother me at all because there's electric shutter on the master room window and blocek the noise and light for lazy sleeping. Close to Aldi and coles in 5min. Recommand!!!! :) Thanks Alex.

This is really more a vacation spot than just a simple place to lay your head. The picnic table in the picture is a bit of heaven! Quiet, beautiful trees behind you, fish in the water, on a bicycle/walking path used by incredibly friendly people and only 200 steps from your bedroom. Alex, Cecilia and Morgan made me feel incredibly welcome. Alex cooked, Cecilia took me on walks and joined me at a local cafe (excellent by the way) and 6-year-old Morgan was my playmate. She's a delight with such a sunny disposition! The large backyard with 2 free-range chickens is a great place to hang out and it's right outside the patio door of the bedroom. The bathroom was spotless and roomy, with heat lamps in the ceiling for chilly mornings. There's a very large walk through closet that can store several people's clothes and suitcases. While trains do pass very close to the house and are very visible from the room, I didn't find them at all bothersome, although someone more sensitive to noise might. The bedroom was originally designed as the master. It's on the ground floor of the two storey house, with the kitchen, lounge and other bedrooms upstairs. This is NOT the basement. However, Alex and Cecilia made me welcome upstairs and I often joined them in the kitchen or on their balcony to have a bite to eat with them. The house is just a short walk to the main road with buses and to the railway station which makes everything in the area very accessible. If you're a walker, it's a beautiful walk to Gosford along the coast. I did it in about 40 minutes. If you want a vacation, this would be an ideal B&B to hang out in for boating and fishing and there are probably beaches within an easy drive. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderfull time! On the first night we were invited to dinner by Jacky and her husband, who are both very kind and hospitable. During the day you can enjoy the presence of a lot of different birds in the lovely garden. The room is very spacious and clean! Jacky makes sure you have everything you need! If we ever travel back to Koolewong, we definitely will be staying here again! We recommend this place to everyone!

Jacqueline is a natural host, very friendly and welcoming. I enjoyed the privacy and loved the dvd selection. Loads of interesting books and a comfortable bed. As described lots of lovely plants and birdlife. Only discordant feature was the sound of the freight trains and station warning signals as they passed through.

Jacqueline is a lovely generous host, our stay was all we could have hoped for. The accommodation is well appointed and spotlessly clean.

Peaceful, relaxing, spacious and cool for restful atmosphere. Jacky and Murray were welcoming, friendly and helpful. Appreciated the small touches, like the chocs and biscuits.

We were pleasantly surprised by the place we had to stay in with Jacqueline and Murray (and Walter) The area offered is a very special space with room to move, and the abundant birdlife so close. The welcome was very warm. We will certainly visit again.

I stayed at Jacqueline's house with my 25 year old daughter and it was fantastic, Jacqueline was lovely and a very attentive host. The house was great and had its own shower and toilet and toaster and tea making facilities so was perfect for our needs, the area was lovely and I would highly recommend staying here to others.

We had such a lovely time staying with Jackie and Murray ! The room is spacious, the neighbourhood is lovely and the back yard is really a holiday in itself! We splashed around in the pool surrounded by a rainforest like garden, admired the huge butterflies and watched the bush turkeys scale up the trees. A little slice of paradise ! Very private and close to everything. I highly recommend this place.

Jackie and Maurie are very kind, friendly hosts and we felt so welcomed from the moment we arrived. The room was lovely and spacious, we had great sleeps in the bed, and it was just lovely to hear the native wildlife in the trees outside. If we weren't already moving to the central coast, we would be back for a visit for sure!

Very rural & secluded property but close enough to the main roads which were under a minute away. The room is clean but basic and yet offers everything you need (or we needed) for an excellent stay. Sam as a host is a lovely guy and communicates extremely well with his guests. We would definitely stay here again and look forward to it.

Good value for money, good communication and great spot!!!

Quiet

Difficile à trouver aucune communication avec l hôte par contre calle et appartement privé et calle

Very close to shops and petrol stations yet feels a million miles away. Very simple room. We had a comfortable night stay.

Jodie's accommodation is a bedroom and bathroom in an apartment block within very secure premises. The room was well equipped with thought having gone into everything. Several games were made available, and a nice choice of books and dvd's, while the decor is really pleasing. My daughter and I would recommend this accommodation to anyone! :) Tracie and Mikhaila.

Jodie is a really good host, full of hospitality and you have a very big bedroom, bathroom and balcony to make use of. If you come by car the car is save behind a fence. Really recommend this room!

Jodie is a wonderful host. Her place is very clean, wi-fi connection is very good, place is accurate to the photos - even better in real life, her dog is lovely and respectful of your space :p, she was attentive to our needs, asked if we needed anything more, was happy to have a conversation, easy-going, considerate, and respectful. Wonderful ambience with the natural lighting, fresh air, the sounds of the birds, and the lovely bushland view. I enjoyed watching the sunrise. It is a quiet area. I felt calm and happy there. Location to everything is good. It is evident she goes above and beyond to make her guests feel welcome and enjoy their stay. Highly recommend!

Jodie's apartment is comfortable, clean and secure. Jodie is a lovely host, very respectful of guests privacy. Jodie's adorable fury friend Bruno is a very well behaved family member. Thanks Jodie you and your apartment were a delight :)

Jodie was a great host, she was very helpful with providing places to visit in the area, her home was very clean and the room was private enough to have your own space. The room itself was clean and welcoming with all the amenities to make it a great stay - towels, toiletries, water, coffee and tea. Loved the location, quite and relaxing and not far from the shops and beaches, would definitely stay again.

Jodie was great from the get go! I wasnt even in for 10 minutes and already she provided me with some fresh miso soup :) She's also a great host and person to talk to. Great value for money as well! You won't be sorry..

Jodie was helpful from the moment we booked. She communicated quickly and efficiently over messages and that made our stay easy and stress free. The apartment was in a beautiful location right next to the bush and just a 15 minute walk from central Gosford. It was clean, comfortable and relaxing with a lovely balcony area and hammock! If ever I am in the area again, Jodie will be the first accommodation I look for!

Her dog is adorable!
