Great stay at Bunya by the Sea
Our family of 13 had a wonderful relaxing stay at Bunya by the Sea. The location is ideal, short walk to the Cape Woolamai beach and sea views from the front balcony. The house is well equipped and clean. The hosts, Paul and Sonia, were very responsive and approved early check in and late check out, which made our stay very enjoyable. Great quiet neighborhood for a relaxing holiday and we would love to come back for future holidays. Thanks Paul and Sonia!

Amazing Experience
Our stay at Bunya by the Sea was an absolute delight! The house was spacious, clean, and had all the amenities my family & I needed for a comfortable stay. The decor is modern and stylish, and the location was perfect - close to the beach, shops, restaurants, and local activities. But what really made our stay special was the host. They were friendly, helpful, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. They provided recommendations for local attractions, gave us free entry to one of them, and even left a bag of treats upon arrival. Overall, I highly recommend Bunya by the Sea accommodation for anyone looking for a modern, comfortable and enjoyable stay.

This was a prefect property in terms facility and location for our family gathering for my father’s 80th. Even though the weather was not optimal, we found the walks nearby were great to do. The in-house kayak and table tennis were very popular amongst the young adults.

Perfect home for our family fun weekend
Our family fun weekend was made so special this year as we had this beautiful home to stay. It was absolutely perfect for the 12 of us. We had some Rain which didn’t dampen our spirits though as this house had plenty of room to be inside with each other. Everything we needed was in the home.

Ideal holiday spot for multiple families
Traveling to Australia from Europe we had searched a number of properties in Victoria that would suit multiple families for our Christmas back home. Immediately we felt Bunya by the Sea was the perfect property and was delighted when our booking was confirmed. The house ticked a number of boxes, most importantly close the beach and big enough to house 3 generations, including 8 grandkids. We initially booked a 5 day stay but was able to change that to 7 days with ease. Paul and Sonia were very easy to deal with and accommodating to requests we had, always very quick to answer both in the lead up and during our stay. The house itself was big enough to sleep multiple families and multiple kids filling the various bunks. Despite 4 families in the house we never felt on top of each other with enough space for everyone to do their own thing and enjoy their time. The amenities were perfect with TVs in each room, PlayStation and 3D Movies all a hit with the kids. Plenty of equipment and games to take to the beach all made it enjoyable. There were many positives and we would definitely stay again, however a few areas prevent this property being marked as outstanding. Overall cleanliness of the property could be improved. In addition to arriving with a flooded dishwasher, as the cleaners had most likely used the wrong detergent, we encountered ants throughout the house from the moment we arrived. There too were a number of areas that require a more thorough clean like under and behind the beds and toilet doors. The house is very popular during the summer period, we arrived directly after guests and the house had new guests directly after our checkout. I think in general, the house would benefit from a days break to ensure a thorough clean between guests. The extra day of cleaning would also help ensure that everything in the house works, as there were some things that were broken, or missing that made the stay a little less enjoyable than it could have been. eg 2 of the bikes had punctures, telescope was missing parts. The house is advertised to sleep 14 and does that perfectly. There could be more glasses and better suited crockery for the dishwasher but otherwise a fanstastic place to spend time at the beach in a lovely home they is well serviced. Thanks Paul and Sonia.

Our group of 10 spent the weekend at Bunya by the Sea and we just LOVED it!! The house is modern and well furnished and accomdating for all our needs. We were able to cook our meals with all the necessities avaliable to us. The house was very spacious which is good when there is such a big group staying. All linen was supplied and the beds were super comfy. Access to WiFi, Netflix and Foxtel was also great to have. Location was across from the beach and only a short walk through the path. We had a great time and we were sad to leave. Highly recommend this accommodation.
