Lovely, spacious and everything included, Calypta Retreat is a very nice two-bedroom getaway.
Nearby beach is great for dogs ... and people.
Would have been nice to have a couple of seats or chairs in the yard.
We had such a wonderful stay. The whole place was spotless, it was so incredibly clean. We all loved staying and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. A beautiful pet friendly place is hard to find and this place is perfect. All communications were very clear and easy with Rob. Thanks again for a lovely beach getaway.
Rob is a wonderful and welcoming host. The home is super clean and has all you need to have a comfortable and enjoyable holiday. Absolutely loved the fact my Labrador was welcomed to stay. Close to beaches, cafes and great locations within walking distances. Looking forward to our next stay!
Wonderful place to stay in Umina. Very clean and accurate description. Only sad i didnt have my dog with me such a wonderful yard to play in! Highly recommended to other guests.
Rob's place was in a great location. It was private, sunny and airy and ideal to get away from the bustle of the city for a couple of nights with the dog and young kids. Rob was friendly and communicative, both in person and via Stayz, and checking in and out was a breeze.
The only "criticism" I could possibly make is that there were some bindis in the grass out the front - but being Australia I would have been surprised if there weren't any! Thanks for hosting us :)
This is my 2nd time staying here. LOVED our time. Rob is very accommodating, helpful and friendly. The place is perfectly described, clean and not too far away from the beach, shops and great walks.
Calypta Retreat was everything we hoped for. Well appointed, spotless, comfortable and much nicer than other âdog friendlyâ places weâve been to. Loved the bookshelf and took advantage of the box of âcoaster gamesâ. Would definitely return.
Rob was so helpful as we had a car accident and needed to source accommodation . Went out of his way to assist us . The unit is fully stocked with everything you could need and very clean . The neighbors are very close but I guess itâs just a heavy populated area . Close to the beach and eateries . Highly recommend !!
Calypta Retreat exceeded our expectations. It's in a great location - walking distance to the beach - and has everything we needed to have a really comfortable stay with our dogs. The yard is fully enclosed and I felt our dogs were safe and secure in the yard. The property is fresh and clean and the linen crisp and smells delightful. Everything is there to make your stay easy and enjoyable and the place is beautifully decorated. We stayed in spring and the smell of the Port Wine Magnolia in the back yard was delicious. Thanks Rob for a providing such a beautiful sanctuary in which to relax.
Great location and the house had everything we needed.
Great place for us ,close to everything. This was the first time we took the dog with us on a get away , she settled in so well . Will definitely go back there again.
