This is a truly special place.  The location is everything that a (grown up) beach holiday in Australia should be.
The rooms are thoughtfully and beautifully decorated with nothing forgotten.
The food is delicious - all meals, in every way, accompanied by an interesting wine list.
More than anything, the team at Halcyon House is second to none.  They are thoughtful, kind and welcoming.
This is a place which sets the standard for luxury accommodation, and I wish that all hotels were even half as good.
I can't wait to go back, and am so grateful that we have discovered such a gem

Amazingly Perfect

Our second stay at Halcyon House was as good if not better than our first.  The staff are amazing.  A special mention to Aly and Michael who both manage Paper Daisy with a smile.  Aly, in particular,  is incredible!  She is such an asset to Halcyon House.  I had the most amazing massage from Claire in the spa.  If you are looking for a relaxing beachside break head to Halcyon House and be prepared to be completely spoiled.

Service with a smile

My wife & I had a most thoroughly enjoyable, relaxing, and memorable stay at Halcyon House the last weekend in April, 2023.

Shanna warmly welcomed us, and immediately made both my wife & me feel like valued guests, insisting she wanted to unpack our vehicle and take our suitcases and other items to our room for us. 

But first, Shannah walked us from reception to the bar area of the restaurant, where we enjoyed our welcome drink (Ink Old Fashioned - Husk Ink Gin, Burnt orange and rosemary syrup, lemon bitters).

Less than fifteen minutes after we had arrived at Halcyon House, my wife & I were relaxed, and enjoying the calmness and serenity of being in such a nice and special place.

Our package included dinner (Saturday and Sunday), and breakfast (Sunday and Monday) at Paper Daisy, but after having enjoyed our first dinner and breakfast, we decided to indulge by having lunch at Paper Daisy on the Sunday, and were glad we did.

The dinner menu at Paper Daisy changes on an almost-daily basis, and the food coming out of the kitchen (whether it be for breakfast, lunch, or dinner) is truly fresh, flavoursome, and well-presented (see photos for evidence).

The service my wife & I received at Halcyon House was truly "world-class"; in addition to Shannah, Matthieu, Alliki, Dirk, and Siobhan (whose names we were able to get - there were others we did not) provided exemplary service to us, for which we are both thankful and appreciative.

While not inexpensive by any means, Halcyon House provides an experience which is unique (including no-charge daily replenishment of the in-room mini bar).

Staying at Halcyon House was reminiscent of staying in an up-market beachside hotel in Florida (like the ones my parents took me to when I was a young boy growing up in the USA in the late 1960's and early '70's), but offering a "far-superior" dining experience from what I remember from all those many years ago.

If you're considering a getaway for a special occasion, and want to be pampered and indulged, I highly recommend you consider Halcyon House.

Thanks to everyone at Halcyon House for having made my wife's & my stay as special and memorable as it was...!

Unique.  Special.  MEMORABLE!!  Thanks to the WONDERFUL Team Members at Halcyon House.

Halcyon House has absolutely perfected the art of making guests feel calm, relaxed, and pampered.  From the  personal and helpful booking (which we did by telephone and email), through to the warm welcome at arrival, attentive service and delicious food at dinner and breakfast, even the turn-down service - every interaction had some element of 'surprise and delight'.  We were fortunate to have beautiful warm weather in June and were able to make full use of the pool and beach - both right on our door-step.  We even tried our hand with the Hotel's surfboards.  Our room was spacious, beautifully decorated, and light-filled.  There was a little bit of noise from the room above - reminding us that this was a very tasteful re-model of an old property - it didn't detract from the experience at all.  A lazy breakfast in the sunshine while reading the papers just topped off a perfect 24 hours.  We didn't want to leave. Every team member at Halcyon House deserves recognition for their warm and friendly professionalism - thank you for giving us such a relaxing, idyllic, mini holiday. 

Idyllic - Halcyon House exceeded expectations

Wonderful stay,  everything you would expect and more,  welcome drink,  welcome treat in room,  turn down service like no other with pillow options,  treat before breakfast, free icecream by the pool,   complimentary mini bar refilled daily, pre-dinner drink included, breakfast and dinner included at the renownedPaper Daisy restaurant.  I had a lovely ground floor garden room which meant I could walk from the pool into my room from the garden,  closer than their toilets. I tried my luck to check in early and my room was ready and was able to use the facilities after I checked out. 
Direct beach access. 
Perfectly curated music by Niki De Saint.
I wish it were a child free/adults only hotel,  would make the experience world class. 


Ultimate luxury experience

5/5…. This is a beautiful part of Australia and a beautiful boutique hotel experience. We stayed in room 308 and loved having the high, beachfront view from a large and very usable balcony. The bedroom / living room is beautifully furnished, bathroom large and really well appointed. The staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The best part is the carefree way you stay - everything is taken care of from breakfast to dinner. Perfect sunshine for a winter stay.

Boutique accomodation at its very best

My husband and I stayed at Halcyon House for 3 nights in March in an ocean superior room. We had high expectations for our stay and had been wanting to visit for a long time. On first impressions the facilities are intimate and beautifully designed. It was easy to get a park and to access our room. The staff were a true delight and were consistently friendly, efficient and unpretentious. Nothing was too much trouble and we felt very welcome. 

Our room was beautiful and the attention to detail was exceptional. We appreciated the small touches such as welcome chocolates, a canvas bag for the beach (to take home) and the lovely candle as a farewell gift. The included mini bar was also a huge hit with my husband! The bed was the most comfortable bed we have ever slept on and evenings were tranquil and quiet.
Our visits to Paper Daisy became the highlight of each day and the food was excellent. We also enjoyed trying the cocktail menu (seriously delicious!) and our waiter Fletcher knowledgeable and funny. During our stay we visited Halcyon Spa and enjoyed a very relaxing morning. The decor and facilities were beautiful, and again the staff were warm and helpful. 

Overall we were so impressed and Halcyon House exceeded our high expectations. It was a truly relaxing experience and we can’t wait to visit again. 

A true delight

I was given a gift voucher for Halcyon House and am so happy I was!  The location is fabulous - a small seaside village with a fabulous beach.

Rooms are lovely, we stayed on the ground floor deliberately so we would have access from our rooms to the pool and beach, and it was lovely.  Ground floor rooms have a wall rather than a fence-type balustrade, so they are quite private.  the beach is across a lawn and down a short path - right on your doorstep.  We ended up not going into the pool, but were on the beach a few times over our two day stay.

The room was turned down while we were at dinner and tidied up while we were at breakfast, which was a  nice touch.  No bath in our room, but the shower was amazing - very powerful.  I liked the Evo products as well and will be ordering some of their body lotion as I came home with very soft skin!

We also ate at the restaurant and it was fantastic - ignore any poor reviews you find.  The food is subtle and elegant, menu was different both nights (acknowledging we might have been lucky there) and we enjoyed everything we ate.  We found the staff to be very friendly without being over-bearing, and all seemed to be enjoying themselves.

Overall, Halcyon House has a luxurious but relaxed, beachy  vibe.  We can't wait to go back again!

Beautiful!

We stayed on the top floor the rooms are clean and eclectically fitted out. The hotels restaurant is great we particularly liked the breakfast and lunch menu. The beach thats right out the front of the hotel is long and quiet, great surf beach. The hotels pool was pretty busy and small but the beach makes up for it. The hotels wine list used to be better but still ok.

Right on the beach

Set in an excellent location very close to the sea, the Hotel could be described as a boutique hotel with designer style decorations. Our Master room on the top floor had excellent views of the sea and was extremely comfortable, spacious and well appointed and the free bar including alcohol was appreciated - nice wine too.
Half board is included in the price and the breakfasts were very good . However if you stay for five nights, as we did, you will get bored with the same menu every night ,except for occasional specials. 
The staff are Ok but for my liking the service is just too slow and the atmosphere is too cool and precious. Some exceptions though like the sommelier are more chatty. During our say we never met who was supposed to be in charge and staff should wear names badges.
I suppose its an ideal place for 2 or 3 day breaks but be prepared to dress smart for the evenings - shorts, t shirt and flip flops will not hack it!
We never tried the spa so cannot comment.
