Amazing communication, host was easy to deal with and very accomodating. House was perfect for our family and very clean. Beds super comfy and heating was excellent which was needed with the cold weather!

Thanks so much for your kind review! Glad to read you enjoyed your stay and hope to host you again
Wow! We had the most comfortable and homely stay. Fit for two adults and 5 children (aged 15, 13, 11, 10 and 6). Large kitchen to allow meal preparation. Spacious beds and a set of bunks for your little climbers. Small deck outside where you can enjoy a glass of wine while supervising your children. Located in a quiet street, directly across from a small playground and within minutes of a supermarket, shops and the main beach front. Only a quick drive to the Surf Coast and Adventure Park. Perfect for larger families who want the comforts of home on holiday. In addition the service provided by Michael and staff was incredible. Kept well informed beforehand, and available if needed to answer any questions. Also went above and beyond to help located some items left behind. I rarely rate accommodation 5 stars, but this place deserves its high rating. A holiday to remember for us and a place we would return to in a heart beat.
