Clean, well appointed, comfortable

The cottage is clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with full kitchen, laundry, two baths, TV, etc. The sleeping arrangements are ideal for a family inc. with young kids. The location is convenient- easy walk to everywhere in Hat Head We hired linen rather than bring our own- R&R Linen Hire in SW Rocks were great, they made the beds up and everything. Sue was very responsive and easy to deal with

Great house for family get together

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A comfy homely well equipped space for a family of 5 and grandparents to spend long weekend. It was a rainy weekend so the large deck was so roomy and comfortable made all the difference in the wet weather. Great location short walk to beach.Some safety issues...maintenance needed to rotting stairs to deck and no handrail which was dangerous especially when wet.General cleanliness was disappointing

A lovely home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our stay at Hat Head. The house was great and we appreciated the double height lounge and loft overlooking it which you can't quite grasp from the photos. There are stairs but it worked OK with our young kids but be mindful that it could be an issue for some kids.

Lovely family holiday!

The house was nice and clean with lovely touches like the digital fireplace and a mini Christmas tree which made the vibe just right. We had a lovely stay in one of our favourite parts of the world. Thank you!

October School holidays

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property exceeded my expectations, it was roomy and had plenty of space for my teens to sprawl out when it rained. Loved having 2 bathrooms and access to store bikes in the garage out of the rain.Needed help to get into the property due to miscommunication... the lock box is on the front porch, don't try to use the broken one on the back porch! The agents responded quickly via the emergency mobile number which was very much appreciated!Would definitely book this property again. It met all our needs.

Balanced View

Property well supplied with cutlery, utensils, bags etc. Quiet location. Property is fairly clean in main areas (kitchen, b'rooms, lounge). Previous tenant left us two unwashed frypans in the cupboard. The house furnishings are dated and cobwebs over windows and outdoor verandah area. No BBQ as stated in description. It's a 2 bedroom cottage with the upstairs open to all the activity downstairs so if you have early risers make them stay in the loft and you stay in the bottom bedroom which has a door.
