Great

Loved the deck with the combustion fire. The big back and fully enclosed yard for was excellent for our pooch. Close enough to the beach for a good walk, can still hear the surf and see it in the distance. Enjoyed some of the board games and DVD’s. The property manager was very responsive. It was just the right size for our family of 5. Had an excellent stay, will definitely recommend it.

Middleton stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: The house is clean and in a great location. It's pet friendly and my dogs loved the backyard. The gas water heating system was faulty so I couldn't have a hot shower on the first night but the Unwind team responded to it in a professional and prompt manner. They tried really hard to solve the issue and I was impressed with their service. I would definitely stay there again. Thanks for your help.

The nearby beach is dog friendly and great for a walk. Cottage was clean and had everything we needed.

Great stay for R and R

We have stayed here twice. Both times we have loved our stay. Pros - close to surf, dog friendly, lot of basic cooking utensils, everything you need for a great break. Cons - daybed covered in sticky sap, bunk room seems to get mozzies in there every night (odd) so both visits at different times of the year we have to do a sweep each night, and this time around the outdoor shower, which we all love and frequently use was broken. I reported on the day we arrived, we were told they would see what they could do, but no follow up or it being fixed while there. We went and purchased a wrench so we could still use after a surf. Given it would be a basic fix this was disappointing. Still really loved our stay and would recommend for both singles, pairs and families.

Pricey

Location is great. Sitting outside on the deck is the best part as it is too smelly inside. The cottage smells moldy and the soft furnishing need cleaning or replacing. The main bedroom is very small. We felt it was way too expensive for what we got particularly as linen wasn't included.

Perfect for our family

We loved this beach house. We are a family of surfers, quick walk to the beach, outdoor shower, bakery up the road and a simple home. What more could we want?! Loved there was no wifi, made switching off all tech easier, esp for the teenager. Was a extra I didn’t anticipate. Yard great for the dog and she had fun exploring the garden. Only suggestion I have is to update the outdoor bed picture as kids anticipating cushions and rugs for that space. Also no complimentary wine on arrival which is not a big deal just update website so others aren’t disappointed. Otherwise loved it.
