"We had a lovely weekend away at the Boronia beach house. It was the perfect layout and space for our group.The views are lovely. Jess and Amp made the check in and out process easy and were available to answer my questions. The stove top was not very effective (did not get very hot), it would be great if a few more tea bags were provided and some more power boards or extension cords would be great in the bedrooms but otherwise a very well throughout, tidy and clean home."

Luxury Family Beach House Sleeps 18 Best House and Views In Copacabana

Luxury Family Beach House Sleeps 18 Best House and Views In Copacabana

10/10 Excellent
"We had a fantastic long weekend in this four‑storey fabulous home celebrating a 50th birthday with our extended family. The lift to all levels made access easy for everyone, and the amazing ocean views plus an easy walk to the beach made the location perfect. The house comfortably slept our group of 18 people, with the bunk beds great for both adults and children. The chef’s kitchen on level 4, complete with a BBQ just outside, made catering for the whole crew easy, and the indoor fireplace and outdoor fire pit meant we could cook, relax and whale‑watch together. It was an ideal setting for a large family lunch. The kids were entertained for hours with the pool table, table tennis and the old‑school arcade games (Frogger, Donkey Kong, Space Invaders and more). The decor is beautiful, and there are plenty of quiet nooks where you can slip away for a moment to yourself. Rob, the owner, comes across as very down‑to‑earth and was responsive and accommodating with any requests, and Nadia (“the hostess with the mostest”) gave us a thorough walkthrough of the property and made sure we knew how everything worked. We would happily return for another special family occasion. We give our ridiculously fabulous Cococabana holiday stay 5 s. So glad we have found this place !!"
