  Our experience with Soul Bliss was fantastic! the accommodation was very well presented, clean, tidy and above all smelt really good (no stale smells etc)
  Only criticism, would have liked to see some dry firewood stockpiled for the brilliant backyard terrace fireplace

  We booked this home to house my wife and I and my Daughter's husband and 2 sons. It was well appointed and fit everyone's needs. The hammock out back was great - read quiet except for all the nature to be heard.

  Michele P from Wollongong, NSW recommends this vacation rental

  Soul Bliss is a beautiful home that easily catered for 3 couples. It is beautifully decorated and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The kitchen is easy to use with all the crockery you need. Between the verandahs and backyard there was always a lovely sunny spot to enjoy. The avocado tree at the back was dropping fruit which was a delicious bonus! It is an easy walk into Shoal Bay and its cafes and ball the nature walks on offer. If you arent fit you may not like the hill on the way home but it really isnt too bad. We loved it and would stay again. The staff were lovely to deal with

  Steve M from NA, NA recommends this vacation rental

  The house was exactly as portrayed in the pictures, light, airy, roomy and cozy. It is a short stroll to Shoal bay beach wiht resturants, say 5 minutes at the most, and 10 minutes walk to Wreck beach (the track has been smashed by the rain, so a bit difficult to acces, but worht it for the sunrise view). We stayed with our family of five and inlawes, so 7 in total and we were very comfrotable. It was nice to sit on the top balcony and have a sunset drink watching the ocean. We will be back!

  This is great house for a large family vacation. Very stylishly decorated, lots of comfortable places to spend time, good size bedrooms, modern bathrooms and large kitchen. Best place was the upstairs balcony with great district and Shoal Bay water views. Very well equipped so no need to pack extra things that I normally pack when holiday renting.
  Short 5 min walk down the hill to Shoal Bay. Definitely recommend and will book again.

  I recently stayed at the property with my family and my sister's family with my mother for her birthday. It was a perfect weekend away. The property allowed us to have our own space but also come together as a family. The house was in a great location, was exceptionally clean and was well appointed.
