Family Holiday
We booked Blue Haven a year in advance, primarily because it’s dog-friendly. Sadly, our dog passed away before our trip, but if you’re traveling with a pet, this is the perfect place—it’s incredibly accommodating and welcoming to dogs. Tatum was an exceptional host, always just a message away whenever we had a question. The kitchen is well-equipped, making cooking easy, and the house is only a short walk to local shops and the park near the lake. The beds were a bit firm for my taste, and the kids were disappointed there wasn’t Wi-Fi, but it definitely encouraged them to unplug and enjoy the surroundings. Overall, it’s a lovely holiday house—especially if you’re bringing a furry family member along.

Relaxing few nights at the beach
The property is perfectly located for a relaxing beach holiday. The house had everything we needed as well as being super doggy friendly with a good sized secure yard. Iluka is also a lovely friendly beachside town with a great dog beach and the house has really easy access to the river beaches as well (which our dogs loved even more than the beach!).

The place needs some work
Location was great only short walk to the shops. There are a lot of things at this place that need work. They are little things but they would make a huge difference. Aircon remote in living room wouldn’t work, battery flat I think. Mattress left more to be desired as wasn’t very comfortable. Some window furnishings were too rusted to lift up or down. The front door needs a handle on the inside. Outdoor light didn’t work. But we really liked how big the yard was for our dogs and that it was fully fenced.

Dog holiday
It is not always easy to find good dog-friendly accommodation. Blue Haven proved an excellent home-away-from-home. The yard is well-secured front and rear whilst the small front deck (where our dog slept) has a gate. Overall, the cottage was well appointed and met our needs, despite a lack of wi-fi. Small kitchen but this was not a problem as we ate out most nights. Iluka itself proved a very quiet but friendly town.
