Amazing experience at wooli, thanks to this apartment we rented out. Such a cozy Apartment with river view and 100 meters to sea. The apartment itself was very good. Kids enjoyed the bunk beds so much.
Steve is very helpful and always available. He helped us eagerly on the night when there was electricity blackout in the town. Thank you so much.

I found this unit to be in immaculate condition and was presented very well. I would definitely recommend to stay here. The owners were very understanding and easy to get along with during this Covid time. Cheers

Enjoyed a lovely three nights in Pandamus. Very comfy bed. Loved going to bed with the window open and hearing the sound of the sea. Spacious. Seating for 8-10 in the lounge room with plenty of room to spare. Richard was very friendly and helpful. Steve - the 'emergency man' willingly boiled water on his gas stove during a blackout. Enjoyed the fact that there is a deck in the back and in the front. Views over the river on the barbecue deck.

A real haven for a lovely family time of rest and refreshing. Beautifully decorated yet comfortable - just the right mix of 'relaxed' and 'stylish'. Wooli is perfect if you want peace and tranquility, and the Wooli Holiday Units are beach side accommodation done really well. We'll be back!

Beautiful unit with everything you need, in the perfect location. Views of the river and only steps to a beach that you pretty much have to yourself.
