Lovely winter escape

Our stay was truly memorable with such a comfortable and practical home on a gorgeous quiet beach. Plenty to see and do and we were lucky to enjoy the peaceful beach and bay during a sunny spell in the middle of winter.

Fantastic stay at this beautiful property

We stayed for 2 nights at Smooth sailing, the property was in a fantastic location on the beach. It was spotlessly clean when we arrived and there was information about what to do, where to eat and any other useful information. We couldn't fault our stay and would definitely recommend!

Great property

Returning to Smooth Sailing is always a joy for us. The fur babies love the environment and we all enjoyed many walks along the beach. The house as always was well equipped, clean and just a great stay. Access froms rooms to the decking is a lovely feature and nothing beats a cup of coffee in bed overlooking Coobowie Bay. We have returned to Smooth Sailing several times and will again come back for another stay.

Superb R&R!

We had the perfect stay at this lovely house with such great views. Fully equipped with everything you could want to eat in- but in our case we ate out at the local hotel for delicious meals almost every night. The time flew too fast- so we'll be back for more ASAP! Clean, modern, warm (air con works very well at 17!) very comfy bed, ample space, and we met such lovely friendly locals.The bonus was that we were allowed to bring our doglet who discovered a rabbit on the beach and instantly developed 'selective hearing'! He was in 7th heaven too!

PERFECT!!! Peaceful A++++ IN every way.

Needed a quiet peaceful time away and certainly found the FANTASTIC place. Arrived after dark to find a very clean beautiful holiday home. Thank you Julie and Guy for all the thought and effort in making this a so comfortable place with everything we could need! Bed and lounge so so comfy,great lovely kitchen, bathroom and also a laundry to use. Then to wake up next morning to see the beach in front of the bedroom was GREAT. Sliding doors from bedroom and lounge leading on to the deck a wonderful place with view of sea to chill out for breakie, So close to beach for walks. Gardens well maintained Lovely smell from lavenders,violets and rosemary. Had really good meal at local pub and within walking distance. Highly recommend Smooth Sailing for your getaway. We found it ideal for a Winter Stress Releasing Holiday. We Will Return. Jenny and John.

Excellent Property

Had a great five days property had everything you need and sooo clean. Kids loved the water right at the door they spent plenty of time on the kyaks getting close to the many pelicans. Rode the bikes in to Edithburgh along the "Walk the York Trail" well worth the ride most amazing trail along the cliff top with the ocean on one side... Took my elderly parents and they loved relaxing on the deck with the beautiful sea views also fantastic that we could take the family dog! We will be back thanks for a great family place to stay.

Fantasic place - great location - clean house

We had a great stay here. The house was clean, well equipped and perfect for our family of 4 (plus 2 dogs). The location close to the water was great and was also within walking distance to the local pub and town centre. The view of the water and the wind farm was very relaxing and the layout of the house provided us the ability to watch the kids play out the front while we sat on the lounge or on the deck. Wouldn't hesitate to come back. Thanks again, Guy and Julie.

Perfect holiday house

We had a great time in Coobowie. House location on the beach was absolutely perfect. Loved sitting on the front verandah with our nibbles and drinks looking out over the ocean. It was peaceful and quiet which was wonderful after our hectic life at home.

Top marks for this excellent property !!!!

What a fantastic property, Wake to spectacular sea views lapping literally metres from yr bed. The home was tastefully decorated and every detail covered. Extremely clean and comfortable. The owners were very friendly and helpful with our booking and had left detailed descriptions on how to use all of the many appliances including a great bread maker... make sure you take a pkt of bread dough !! Our little dogs enjoyed the beach walks and exploring the large secured garden. Even though we had blustery winter weather the beach was tranquil, protected in a beautiful secluded bay with pelicans and bird life drifting past and little crabs to fossick for in the small rockpools. Peaceful yet only 5mins drive to towns, hotels and restaurants. A great central spot to start exploring the Pennisula. We will definitely be coming back and would highly recommend this lovely property.

Smooth Sailing - simply perfect!

We all loved this property. The house was well appointed and had all the amenities we could possibly need. The proximity to the beach was fantastic and we loved watching the pelicans float by in the afternoon. A great pet friendly house with a secure backyard and plenty of room for the dogs to play - they are still exhausted! A fabulous winter property that we are looking forward to seeing in the summer! Thanks Guy and Julie for sharing your lovely home!

Beautiful house and location.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Smooth Sailing, as did our dog. We had really bad weather for the first day and cloudy the next 3 days but walks on the beach were still good. House is extremely well set up with all the comforts of home as well as being very clean - even the windows were clear of sea salt unlike some places we have stayed.
