As a family of 6, with children aged 12,9,8 and 4 the house was perfect for our needs. Spacious, homely and had all the usual items a family needs. Location was fabulous! Less than a block to Merewether Beach. We loved walking to the lookout daily. Plenty of places to eat and grab a coffee, and there is an IGA less than 10mins walk. Coles about 1km could walk or short drive. Highly recommend. We will be back again!
