Our family of three stayed for three nights in mid January @ 440 per night. We enjoyed our stay there, parking outside, close to the beach, 20 min walk to Henely Square, the house is roomy and has a fantastic deck and garden area. This is where we spent most of time relaxing at the house when not sleeping. It’s a “heritage house” (AKA as ‘Federation house’), the type that has a narrow frontage and is long, especially as it’s been extended. The property description states “ … incredibly styled home has been detailed to the highest of standards … “, but this is an exaggeration, it’s been renovated with a medium budget (e.g. the kitchen bench has laminate surface (already scratched!) rather than higher-end material like stone. I’d actually describe it as ‘beachy’ or ‘rustic’ due to the floral-patterned dining seats, exposed bricks in the lounge and wooden toilet door. Unlike the spacious bathroom with a free standing bath, shower cubicle and washing machine, the toilet is extremely small and claustrophobic, with a broken lock, so you had to hold the door closed with your foot!. I also found overall the house was it a bit dimly lit, not helped by one of the lights in the lounge not working, and one light in the dining room flickering constantly. The TV was unwatchable due to a black blotchy image (see pic). But despite these negative, we did still enjoy our stay.
