Happy return clients!!
We absolutely love our stay in Cooks Hill thanks to Brooke and Grant and the beautiful space they have created! This is our second time visiting and it was just as delightful as the first! The apartment is situated in a beautiful neighbourhood, with a picturesque walk to Darby St cafes where we went each morning for breakfast! We also walked up to Bar Beach and enjoyed looking at the other beautiful houses along the way! It is so nice to come back to a quiet, relaxing space with all the homey touches that make your stay just perfect! Thank you so much Brooke + Grant! We can’t wait to come back!!

Wonderful stay
We arrived at the property quite tired after travelling all day. We we’re pleasantly surprised. There was a wonderful attention to detail. Milk, cereal, honey and of course tea and coffee were provided which meant we didn’t have to immediately go out shopping for essentials. Lots of natural light and a feeling of being in a tree house as the living area is upstairs with lots of windows all around. The suburb is gorgeous with lots of restaurants and close to the sea. Highly recommend.
