Trip away

Poppa place was just what we needed. A wonderful family home feeling with all the necessities you could need, especially the fire place on the colder mornings. Communication was amazing and took out any of our worries of being able to extend our stay last minute. Would highly recommended Poppa’s Place.

H! I'm Anna.
I love to travel - to either see new parts of the world, or to catch up with friends and family. My favourite places I've visited include Barcelona, Yosemite and Iguazu Falls.

Why they chose this property

Poppa's Place - our holiday home - has been in our family since 1982, when our Dad purchased the land and built the studio at the back of the property. Some years later, in 1999 he added the house to the front of the section. Now, my sisters and I own the holiday house and want to share it with you.

What makes this property unique

- Outdoor entertaining
- Child friendly with porta-cot, high chair, books & games, kitchen utensils for little ones
- Modern renovated home
- Cosy
- Big back yard
