Home away from Home

The personal touches make this stay as comfortable as it comes. Sunsets and sunrises from the deck and the beach right on the doorstep makes the most relaxing and comfortable stay there is. Walking distance to the pub, jetty and general store, what more can you want?! Plenty of space for the whole family including the fur babies, excellent accommodation and can’t wait to go back

House and surrounds well maintained and inside house was well appointed with many thoughtful extras in kitchen. Heating was effective as it was chilly when we stayed. We will come again as proximity to pub and Cape Conran were bonuses.

Perfectly peaceful.

Beautifully located overlooking the tranquil estuary at Marlo. The house was very comfortable and thoughtfully stocked with essentials and treats. Walking distance to the pub and only steps away from the beachfront. The balcony was ideal to watch the sunset. Easy check in and out, the house was clean and we appreciated being able to holiday with our pet - who also loved the beach!

Water views, sound of waves, homey comforts in Marlo

Welcome gifts for me and a lovely note attached to some home made doggy treats for my fur baby. The well set up comfortable home is in an amazing position with water views. If you have trouble with movement the outside stairs are steep but not insurmountable. Sand castles and water play are so close with the Snowy River out the front of the property only metres away.

Location, location, location.

We had an absolutely sensational 7 day stay at Mad On Marlo in late January 2024. The house itself exceeded our expectations and we basically lived on the balcony over looking the snowy river estuary all week. Wanted for nothing and even on the one day the weather was poor the kids were able to watch Netflix and leave us adults alone to relax which we certainly did. Our communications with Cathie were great and nothing seemed to be a problem. Welcoming goodies are also a great touch.Will be returning.

Stunning water views

The house is very comfortable. The outlook is gorgeous. Unfortunately we had a problem with the dip between the road and the driveway and scraped the rear of our vehicle (Ford Fairlane) which necessitated unloading and loading the boot at the bottom of the driveway. That apart, we enjoyed walks on the beach with our pooch, had a couple of great meals at the hotel and watched the bird life from the verandah. Cape Conran was certainly worth a visit. The wood fire was a hit but carrying wood up the stairs is testing!
