Why they chose this property
Bens cottage is the cutest small home you'll ever stay at. Its clean, beautifully presented inside and when you walk in you will feel like your on holidays straight away. I have spent a lot of time in the cottage so it has everything you need, the fully fenced yard is perfect for your dog and dog friendly beaches are not far away. We have the river at one side and the beach at the other to pick from and a cute little street with great shops. Great ocean road not far away.
What makes this property unique
The river and the beaches being so close. Great restaurants and shops to browse. Good weather(most of the time)
