Communication was fantastic, making it easy to find the property, check in and explore the area. The place was exactly as described. It was quiet, comfortable and close to Little Beach and other great spots. We brought our own supplies but the kitchen had everything we would have needed. I even spotted a jar of Vegemite! There's also a BBQ and outdoor dining area that looked perfect for a lazy afternoon. The fully fenced yard was great for our little dogs. We'd happily stay again next time we're in the area.

This place was in a quiet, yet central location and it had everything we needed for our week away. Thank you for having us as we had a wonderful time.
