We stayed over the Easter long weekend at this beautiful property. The house lived up to the expectations from the listing and was very comfortable and attractive. We enjoyed our leisurely breakfasts on the sunny deck. Having 2 bathrooms was a bonus for a group of 7 adults.The location was lovely and quiet and easy to get to the city or beaches areas.
Great house, kitchen well resourced with coffee machine and other new appliances, everything was very clean. Short drive to good cafe's and beaches, and on quiet suburban street. Lovely little garden for dogs and outdoor seating on balcony. Good wardrobes for storage. Only feedback is that the bathroom tap continually drips, and the side gate isn't properly secured (if a larger dog jumped and pushed the gate it could easily open). Otherwise really enjoyed our stay and would come back if available.

Thanks for the feedback. We have a plumber coming to fix the drip and my husband has fixed the fence. Thanks for the lovely review.
The property was very quiet but not too far from Newcastle where there were many pubs and cafes, beaches and parks to go to. The house was great with lots of space and very comfortable beds and lounges. Could have an upgrade to the indoor chairs for comfort and a pool or tennis table for the rumpus room. Great stay overall- would stay there again!

Thanks Sarah. We have bought a new dining table and chairs for your next visit. Will keep an eye out for table tennis table too. Thanks Jac :)
Great location very family friendly location. 5min to beach, MTB track. 10 min to city quiet, spacious., bright, Well furnished great endless hot water, two showers and toilets are awesome.
On the down side . As a family we cook a lot. The cook top is very difficult to control.The supplied pans are all damaged and burnt. The back stairs from the veranda are dangerous and a few of the step really need replacing as the are rotted. These are minor but important to a family rental
Thanks

Thanks for the review Darren. I’ll replace the pots and investigate the cook top and stairs. I’m glad you enjoyed the location, gas hot water and furnishings.
The house was perfect for our needs. The owner was really helpful and responded immediately when we needed anything. We loved the position and spent loads of time on the lovely sunny balcony. Thanks Jac for looking after us so well.
A quiet location and close to many of Newcastle’s attractions. The house was clean and had everything we required. Kids enjoyed the backyard. Only minor issue was noisy downpipes near bedrooms when it rained.
A fantastic location. The house was clean and beautifully furnished. We all thoroughly enjoyed staying in this open and spacious home. Highly recommended.
Everything was organised and a very enjoyable stay. Thanks again.
