Eyrie

Pleasant holiday

The house is located in a convenient spot with perfect ocean views (whales included). The property was well stocked with sufficient plates and crockery, furniture both indoor and outdoor and loads of books and games available. The general cleanliness was of a low standard. There were cobwebs and spiders in the bedrooms, rubbish still in the bins, dishwasher full and the vacuum was filled with dirty and hair.

Eyrie is in a great position with wonderful view of the ocean and the passing Humpback Whales from the large back deck. (Take binoculars though) Grandson with his new binocs said "I can see him waving his arms!!" The place is quite old but functional with lots of kitchen utensils and staples for use. It could do with a handyman to fix a bunch of stuff that did not really impact our stay except when the lights went out during and after a heavy rainfall. Rear steps can be a bit slippery as and slip is too worn. Also the second and third bedroom were lacking usable storage and under the beds was needing a better clean and the twin third had no bedside lamps. The rest of the house was spotless. The Agent was very responsive to our complaints. It is close to everything and the younger ones walked to the beach and pub etc. We would be very happy to stay again with a group at this price. Thanks

Our family have taken a winter holiday at Straddie for many years and we have stayed at Eyrie for the last three. There are many styles of holiday rental to chose from and this one meets the needs of our family (including 2 primary school aged kids and a cat!) perfectly.

Eyrie is affordable, well located, very comfortable and comes with a gorgeous ocean view from the sunny rear deck! The water pressure is notably fabulous - the best hot shower I've ever had. It was a little colder overnight this year (we do bring a heater) and there are plenty of warm blankets in the cupboard.

The owners have upgraded some furniture recently and Eyrie is clean and well presented.

A great place to stay at Straddie! Perfect for dogs and kids. We will definitely be back!

Lovely weekend away and it was dog friendly which is amazing! We all had a wonderful time. The view from the deck was beautiful. House is functional, just overall not as clean as I would like. Location was amazing in a quiet street close to the beach.

A super quiet place to get away, enjoy the view and all that Straddie has to offer!

My family had the most wonderful stay at Eyrie. It's in a great location at Point Lookout, close to everything you want or need. It is thoughtfully stocked with everything you'll need for a great holiday stay, and has the most gorgeous view looking north, out over the water, and gets a wonderful breeze most, if not all the time! They've really thought of everything - the house is stocked with pantry essentials to get you started, as well as loads of interesting books and games. There's also a hose downstairs to hose off after trips to the beach (it'd be nice if the little shower was working, but that was a tiny thing). Eyrie is the kind of place where you can fully relax and you never want to leave! We booked because we've stayed there before and it's pet friendly but unfortunately our little and old doggie passed away this year. It's still worth staying here though. We thoroughly recommend Eyrie and look forward to staying there again!

Cozy little holiday house, weel equipped with everything we needed. Nice ocean views and short walk to the doggy beach. As we visited before the school holidays we had an amazing relaxing time. Thank you

Excellent holiday destination

A lovely house with amazing view of the ocean and a deck that feels like you are in a tree house. Suit small group of friends eg 6 or two couples and 2 kids. Dishwasher did not drain so reported that to agent!

The house is in a very quiet street with easy parking. It is a good size with three comfortable bedrooms. The highlight is the decking area which in the day boasts amazing ocean views and we frequently spotted whales. In the evening it has a nice bbq and comfortable seating. Overall we were really happy with our stay.

Great location, easy walk to the beach. I booked this house for the deck and view and it 100% delivered on it. Whale spotting while having breakfast or lunch was great. The living room was comfortable with updated sofas not as pictured. The house is one of the more affordable options on the island so keeping that in mind, you get what you pay for. It desperately needs a spring clean and some updating. I’m guessing it’s been used as a holiday rental for many years and it shows. It’s dog friendly which is great but we found dog hair on the bedding which is not ideal. The curtains has a smell to them as well. The closets with extra pillows/blankets are musty and have mold on them. With a bit of attention it could be great.
We spend little time in the house when over at Straddie so it worked for us but something to keep in mind. Would I book again, probably not, although the view is wonderful and the value is there.

Very good in every aspect

We had a lovely winter mini-escape at Eyrie. Excellent location - very quiet street with easy walking distance to beach. View from the deck to the ocean was the highlight - constant sightings of whales while reading and sipping coffee so wonderful.

This house is in a perfect location, especially if you are bringing your dog. Stunning views from the large entertaining deck.
You do need to take your dog downstairs to go to the toilet though, as the deck is the only gated option.
Great size, with ceiling fans in each room, and beautiful breezes from the ocean. A little run down but perfect for what we needed.
Will definitely consider again!

This is the second time we stayed at Eyrie. We had another lovely stay, everything as we expected. Will return again.

We have come to Eyrie many times. Eyrie is a functional, simple beach house with a good view and a relaxing and welcoming ambience.

This is a basic family house with a nice deck with great views. It appear this house is most likely very popular and therefore heavily rented. It is in need of a good spring clean and some basic maintenance. All in all we did enjoy our stay but did spend some time upon initial arrival wiping out kitchen cupboards, bedroom and bathroom drawers, etc so that they were up to a decent cleanliness standard. There was a lot of cockroach faeces in drawers. If this was attended to properly (a good spring clean), then I would highly recommend the property.

Eyrie is a good, basic beach house. It is comfortable and homely as opposed to being in the luxury bracket, but is clean and has everything you need. There were a few minor maintenance repairs needed, but nothing that inconvenienced us. Beds are comfortable,so are the couches for day time naps and the hammock on the deck.There are lovely views from the deck. The gated wrap around verandah is great for dogs or small children. It is walking distance to Main beach and the pub. The check in and out process was very straight forward. Overall, I could definitely recommend Eyrie for a relaxing Straddie holiday.

As soon as you arrive you feel relaxed, the house have a lovely homey feel and it was nice touch to have a welcome letter from Ray White. Then you head out to the back deck and you don't want to leave, the majestic views of the ocean the cool breezes, the hammock now I am on holidays. We loved the fact that the verandah has locked glass gates on each end for our dog who just loved wondering around deciding which spot was best to catch the breeze, seeing her so happy was wonderful. We loved being so close to Home beach to take our dog walking and swimming everyday. It was just such a relaxing holiday, we can't wait to go back. The house is very well equipped and you have everything there you could need.

Such a beautiful location, the house had an incredible view of the beach, walking distance to the beach even for our young son and old dog, and very comfortable house with some nice touches.

Nice house. Loved the breezy deck. Good outdoor shower and spray. Washing machine and dryer clean and worked well. Totally charmed by the trees and the koala that roosted there. Birds were great. Good oven and fridge and well stocked cupboards.

We loved this house for the view, the cool breezy deck, the trees and the resident koala. It is comfortable and homey. Everything works and it was easy to settle in. For people with small kids be aware it is high set so access is stairs front and back but the deck is well fenced and gated. For dogs the yard is fully fenced at the back. I would stay there again.

Lovely views from back deck. Clean & comfortable home.

Lovely quiet spot up the hill and a walk to the shops - a car would be recommended. Beautiful view!
