Nostalgic Beach Getaway
Loved the location for its privacy and proximity to the beach. The cottage suited our small family. We appreciated the large bath, well appointed kitchen and native garden surrounds. Our 10-day stay was relaxing and restorative. Being able to bring our dog along was a huge bonus.

Safe modern space for dog-friendly parents
Lovely family holiday home with everything you could ask for and much more. Our dogs were safe & very welcomed. Well fenced small property with lots of interesting corners for puppy exploring. Excellently appointed kitchen & every cleaning product possible is available. We were lacking for nothing. So cosy. We did a little rearranging of furniture to make more floor space for the dogs, & removed low decorative items to keep our dogs’ swishy tails away from sweeping surfaces clean. Thank you for entrusting your home with us & introducing the lovely haven that is Indented Heads.
