If several families want to holiday separately but close by the house directly opposite would often be available and possibly even a third sometimes.

One or two bits of furniture may be from the 1950's (or even older) and a little the 1960's but most of the the house is mid 1980's. Things like the refrigerator well into the 2000's with progressive replacement of items as required e.g. main rainwater tank etc. in February 2021. More changes anticipated in the future to keep it fully functional / upgrade.

The lounge is high backed that I find very comfortable and easy to nod off in and prefer to those of normal height.
The beds are fairly standard but the long term plan is to have a queen size bed in the main bedroom.
Is it possible your prior shoulder surgery exacerbated the review comments?
Although there are exceptions as a general rule the weather gets colder and windier around June and starts to warm up again in August. However being on Spencer Gulf Arno Bay does not get many frosty nights.
Also being the western side in summer sea breezes are the norm and hot northerly winds are usually only for a short time prior cold front cool changes
