Reviews
Amazing Views
Toby Collins - 22nd May 2022Great house in an amazing location. We really enjoyed our stay.
Relaxing “Home away from home” with sea views
Jan Sloan - 7th March 2022“Freshwater” was as described in the promo material and so much more! Spectacular views of the beach and inlet were revealed when the blinds were raised. Our group of five ladies immediately felt at home. The house is well appointed but has a very relaxing feel to it. It would be perfect for two families with the separate flat off the balcony. We were lucky to get fine weather in amongst all the rain and enjoyed relaxing on the deck and long walks up the beach. A perfect weekend away. Thankyou!
Amazing home
Barry Waller - 4th March 2022We are a family of 10 who like to holiday together, this home was perfect for our needs with plenty of open space, a covered outdoor section, & room for all, the 3 bathrooms are a bonus, with laundry facilities appreciated. The location just across the road from the beach is great , & there is a short walk to the beach access, the view is outstanding! We all like to cook, so really appreciated that the kitchens had plenty of oven trays, saucepans, utensils etc. we all had a great time !
Bliss
Annmaree Nicholls - 8th November 2021What a lovely appointed house for a family holiday. The views and the access to the beach make for a relaxed no fuss holiday. There is plenty of space for chillin.

Michelle - 24th October 2019We had a great 4 day stay at Freshwater. We were a party of 9 & we thoroughly enjoyed the house & the stunning location. We cooked every night & found everything we needed in the kitchen. Breakfast on the balcony was wonderful. The configuration of the house was excellent for our group & we had plenty of space. Everyone found the beds comfortable. South Coast Holidays staff were very helpful & responsive to all our requests. We would definitely recommend this house & would love to come back again.

Cousins weekend away
Meredith - 30th June 2019We have just spent a weekend at Freshwater, Gerroa. What a great house in a fabulous location. The views were to die for, I could have sat in the lounge room all day just looking at the view. The house was very spacious and very well set up, 5 bedrooms, three bathrooms, big living space and a large and functional kitchen which was very well stocked. I would definitely recommend this property and we will stay again. It also had direct access to the beach which we took advantage of with many lovely walks.
Amazing Location

Lovely Weekend
MandaL - 4th March 2019Lovely weekend. View great, facilities great. Place to revisit for sure!
Perfect Beach Location
PennyF - 21st February 2019Our family group of 8 enjoyed the most wonderful time at Freshwater in Gerroa in early February 2019. We found the location looking straight down Seven Mile Beach across from the mouth of the Crooked River absolutely amazing and the house perfect for our needs, really well equipped as well as spacious and very comfortable. Many thanks to the managers of the property in Gerringong who were so helpful on booking - looking forward to a return visit!
Great place to stay....5 stars!
liz11 - 18th February 2019Freshwater was a fabulous place for us as its not always easy to find somewhere that comfortably accommodates a family of ten. The house is in an enviable position right near the beach (the views are sensational) and has everything you need for a family stay. There are two well stocked kitchens with plenty of dishes, cutlery, serving platters etc. and two dishwashers! The house is really clean, the beds are comfy, although the two singles in the cottage could do with an update; there are lots of bathrooms, the sitting rooms are spacious and the deck is a wonderful place for family dinners. The property managers are very amenable and communication with them was great.
Wonderful
DavidB - 19th November 2018Great spot, great amenities, we had a wonderful stay. We would recommend this property.
Great Spot
DavidB - 13th November 2018Great spot, great amenities, wonderful stay. I'd recommend this property to others.
Fabulous Location
DB58 - 30th October 2018A small family group have just returned from a great time at Freshwater. We were thrilled with the property, the views over the ever changing coast were magnificent. We walked on the beach, up to the headland and up to Fishermans Club for dinner. This location suited us very well.
Fantastic house
Berndadette - 18th June 2018Freshwater is a great, spacious beach house that was perfect for our group of 4 couples and 3 young children. The weather was not the best, but with the heaters and such fantastic views from the house, we still loved every minute of the stay.
Fabulous
catherinee - 19th March 2018Fabulous home, great view. Appreciate the little extras ie cleaning stuff, extra toilet paper, lots of kitchen equipment.
Wonderful property!
Anne - 19th March 2018We (9 friends) go away together on a regular basis. it is my task to find a home that suits everyone. Everyone agreed that this the the best house yet, and that we will all be happy to return!
Wonderful holiday house
Susan - 12th December 2017I celebrated my 70th birthday with my children and grandchildren. It was perfect. Great facility, well supplied with all we needed, beautiful view, large living space and separate flat for the family with young children. It felt comfortable and cosy as though we had borrowed a friend's holiday house for the weekend - well equipped with books, videos, TV, video, Foxtel, wifi ...The only negative with the house was the single beds are sprung and not comfortable for adults. Everything else worked beautifully. We surfed, swam, played soccer on the beach, and walked. We could go to the Blue Swimmer Cafe for great coffee in the morning and birthday dinner on Saturday evening. I would use it again.
Girls Weekend
KellAndTheGirls - 14th November 2017Our Annual Girls Weekend was made even better by staying at this house. We have stayed at another house for other weekends and loved it, now we are even more in love with Freshwater and have booked again for next year, and for an extra night. We all can't wait to come back and relax and soak up the view and amazing sunset.
Fabulous location
KellieD - 13th November 2017Fabulous property, amazing location and great service
better than photos!
Blake - 9th November 2016Freshwater is better then the photo's. It is larger then I thoughts and the sunsets from the balcony are stunning. If you are looking for a house for the weekend this is the one.
A great spot!
SaritaE - 31st March 2016A great spot! An excellent choice particularly if some family members would like their own space. It worked perfectly for my daughter and husband and their two little boys to have the separate accommodation, but at the same time be linked to the rest of the family staying in the main house. Location, location, location - right across fro the beach for the son who wanted to surf, and next to the river for the toddler who wanted to paddle. Well equipped with everything from milkshake makers to chocolate fountains!!! We will be back!
Fab place
Alan - 10th November 2015With one of the best locations in Gerroa this property will not fail to impress. Despite the poor weather over the weekend the house was large enough and suitably equipped to keep everyone entertained. Will definitely book the house again
All excellent
Joseph - 15th June 2015Friends recommended that we stay here. We found everything to be just excellent - especially the view.
Beautiful view!
KimV - 28th April 2015We liked that the house was so well equipped. Beautiful view too. A hot tub on the deck would be great!
