Brilliant spot for a large group

Perfect for a large group of people. Our young adult children occupied the bottom level and the oldies were upstairs - enough space for everyone and pets!

Great family home close to a beach

We all really enjoyed our stay, a lovely comfortable space, plenty of room for the 12 of us . However the backyard swing and cubby house are not safe for preschoolers by themselves- rusty nails and splinters need attention.

Our stay

My family loved the stay - the entertainment area one the hearts of all with a pool table and seperate area for the kids to be. Struggled with some curtains that the rail didn’t work or were broken but didn’t impede the lovely week we had at this property. We would return here again!

Easter Weekend Stay

Bedding configuration was good - my family of 10 all had a double bed and own room per couple. The pool table was lots of fun, even though it was cold downstairs. The property wasn’t very clean upon arrival - lots of spider webs and my 2 year old was bitten by a spider on the first night there. There was a funky sewerage smell downstairs, and the people staying downstairs had a gastro outbreak - coincidence?? With a booking for 10 adults we expected basics like toilet paper to be provided - there was only one roll each toilet (thank god for IGA being open on Good Friday) Location was close to beach and aprox a 30/40 min walk into the Main Street. If staying at this house, I’d recommend bringing your own cleaning products and drinking bottled water.

Good place but hope more clarity on Pet friendly policy

Property is listed as Dog friendly, but we were advised on the last day by real estate that dogs are not allowed inside the bedrooms. We hope they would have provide this clarity before.

Great family summer holiday

Great house for two families. Heaps of space for adults and kids to relax. The house has everything you need. Walked into town for a coffee every day and short walk down to the beach. Thanks again for a great two weeks.

Overall Good Experience - some negatives.

This property was definitely not covid cleaned (Like we were told) after moping up a spilt drink the mop water was black. Wiping down benches and tables left cloths black and under the couches you could see blankets of dust. Not very good with a bub crawling around. Downstairs shower was grimy. Ran out of hot water once, but even being after hrs the agent was very promt with contacting us back and advised us to use the boost button and that fixed that problen for the remainder of our stay. Kids loved the games room, although was very cold downstairs not enough heating.

Disappointed

In a nutshell would we book this house again? Answer is no. For the price we paid for a week we didn't expect a luxury accommodation but at least some basic things. House wasn't clean, furniture and floors not clean and not in a good condition, beds were not that comfortable and hot water system wasn't good. 13 of us stayed there and at least half of us had to have a cold shower after returning from the beach and no hot water left for the dishes rest of the day.

Had a lovely weekend with family

14 people staying wasn’t happy with hot water service checked in Thursday arvo no hot water until Friday morning. But every evening no hot water. Not enough toilet paper left. Some cleaning was over looked. Bed in one of the rooms kept breaking , 3 times slats came off, ended up on floor. Was a great space for the number of people but needs up bit of a clean up and check list. Has a pool table but no tips for pool sticks .

Property was lovely. However downstairs smelt a little funky & one of the double beds the slats kept moving which meant the mattress sunk.

Nice

Upstairs was fantastic, spacious, clean and nice view. But downstairs needed a clean up before entering the bed rooms. Pool table was a good entertainment. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.
