Book it now!
We couldn’t have had a better stay. Kristina communications up to and during the stay were spot on and wonderful to deal with. The place was spacious and clean, and the bedrooms were a good size. The house is steps away from the beach and pool which made for a perfect holiday, and having a glass of wine or coffee on that balcony was my personal retreat. We will absolutely be returning. A truly perfect holiday. Thank you Kristin!

Annual family gathering
Everything was perfect! Champagne on arrival, easy access for parking for my family, directly across from the beach, beautiful neighborhood close to shops and a park for the kids to play. The host was so thoughtful and communicative. We felt so welcomed and pampered.

An amazing apartment in the perfect location!
The apartment is finished beautifully. Lots of little touches that make your stay extra special and memorable. The beach directly opposite and the alternative of the pool to the rear of the complex give you options plus. Highly recommend.

Family Getaway
Beautiful unit with everything we needed for a last minute family getaway. Clean and modern with great inclusions like the picnic basket for the beach. The pantry was stocked with a few extras for cooking which was a bonus and the view was stunning.

About the host

Host profile image
I feel so blessed to own this absolutely beautiful apartment, the Love Nest, bought in 2015. It gives me joy to share it with family, friends and guests as it is such a relaxing, restorative and luxurious space! It has been meticulously appointed over the last 6 years so that every comfort and convenience is available. An atmosphere of love and positive energy has been created - a Love Nest - right on the beautiful beach at Hawks Nest..
Being so close to the sea, with its healing salty air and rhythmic waves is always wonderful and that view out to sea is mesmerising. Its very beautiful in whatever season and all different weather. Hawks Nest is such a special place, as while providing all the essentials and plenty to do, it has also escaped over-commercialisation and remains delightfully quiet and peaceful - perfect for a real holiday. I always get incredibly excited about going there, and never want to leave! Try and stay as long as you can, as Im sure you'll feel the same.

Why they chose this property

Peaceful, private, walk across the road and your on the beach. Sleep to the sound of the waves and enjoy beautiful sea views from the master 2 verandahs and living area.

What makes this property unique

Visitors to the Love Nest are astounded by the beautiful natural surroundings. The serenity and opportunity to relax and just enjoy the beach are fabulous. The apartment is very luxurious with quality and comfort in every room. Sip the free French champagne provided to unwind on arrival while drinking in the sensational views of the islands and ever changing sea. Watch the black cockatoos fly past at eye level and listen to the native birds call at dawn. Take a wander along the beach, just across the road or explore the lakes, rivers and sleepy seaside town of Hawks Nest. Its hard not to fall in love with the Love Nest and even harder to leave!
