We enjoyed a lovely snd memorable stay for two nights. The property was well maintained, cozy with a beach theme. It was also accomodating with a DVD and games selection. We would have liked the balcony to be more accessible but all the same, a fantastic experience.

Enjoyed a lovely stay with my small dog. Property was beautifully light, warm and spotless. My littledog was right at home with easy access to outside secure areas. It was a very peaceful place to stay, with a great layout and plenty of space. Would stay again. Communication and helpfulness from Kristine and Russell was excellent.

Lovely little house, perfect for an escape with the dog. We had a great few days on the peninsula. Only drawbacks:- Tiny, narrow driveway with very low carport (not suitable for SUV or larger vehicle)- No Wifi- TV channels very limited (couldn't watch the footy)- Neighbours stomping can be heard from the loungeroom (children playing, so very forgivable)
