Perfect house for a weekend getaway with the family. Great location, view was amazing, kids loved the trampoline. Only disappointment was the Wii didn’t work, nor did the awnings on the veranda which meant we didn’t sit out there as much as we would have otherwise.

Thanks Leigh. We're so pleased you had a perfect family getaway. Great news- the awning has finally been installed and we're sorry the Wii didn't work for your stay, we have replaced the batteries for this.
We absolutely loved staying at Kristen’s property in Blairgowrie. Stunning views, quiet neighbourhood, drinks and dinner on the deck. Spacious and great for groups of friends or families. Only negative is parking is difficult on the street as it’s narrow. Otherwise we loved our stay and will definitely be back!

Fantastic! We're so pleased you loved your stay, enjoyed the space and views. We look forward to welcoming you again.
The house was well equipped and comfortable. The views are great and the upstairs deck a wonderful place to relax on. The bathrooms are probably looking a little tired and the showers are not ideal but nonetheless we had a great stay.

Thank you for your feedback and we're pleased you had a relaxing stay.
The house was roomy and adequate for our group - 2 living areas so room for the kids to play. Lovely outlook and view from upstairs. Kitchen fairly well equipped. Trampoline and kids play area outside at the back was brilliant. Only negative was limited parking space for more than one car. We arrived on a very hot day so appreciated the air con. that was on for us when we arrived.
Great location and great views. Property is nicely laid out. The only let down are the dated bathrooms, but they still served the purpose. I'd recommend this property for a fun filled family holiday.
The best deck and view we have had in 20 years. 12 friends really enjoyed this spacious property. Nice furniture, electricals and heating/cooling. Only issue toilets within bathrooms. Perfect for 2 families.

Magical family beach retreat
Stunning home situated walking distance between both the front and back beaches. The view from the large upper deck is magical and we spent much time up there with our children playing with the number of toys available for them. The backyard is also fantastic for the kids.
Very short walk to the Koonya general store for anything you need.
Beautiful, large and bright new kitchen. The beds and couches are super comfy. We enjoyed this property so very much and couldn't recommend it highly enough.
Beach Retreats were also very helpful and great to deal with.
Very happy and relaxed after our break here.

Perfect family retreat
What an awesome property. I stayed with a group of mates on a golf weekend in March and want to come back with my family. The place is perfect for kids of all ages with everything you could want to keep them happy including a fantastic backyard. Fantastic upstairs living area with magic views of the bay on the huge balcony. Really close to the beach and about a 5 minute drive to Sorrento without traffic. The place was decked out beautifully with everything you could want and there were plenty of beds. Highly recommend

Excellent Kid Friendly Property!
We had a wonderful weekend away at Seaview Retreat. It's a got a great view and a great entertaining area (it's just a pity the weather wasn't better the weekend we were there) with modern fixtures and fittings yet still has a very livable feel to it. Everything you need is included along with clear instructions for how to use everything. It's an ideal place for families with young kids. There is so much to keep them entertained from items included in the house to the outdoor play area. My 3 year old nephew did not want to leave!
