Excellent location

We had a really lovely stay in Cherylyn’s property. The house was very clean and comfortable but the only issue for us was the lack of WiFi. It was a brilliant location within minutes walk of shops, cafes and beaches.

Thank you for your review, and glad you enjoyed your stay. I can understand visitors missing WIFI while on holiday and I have been trying to get Chorus to install this since August 2022. They are always going to turn up but at the last minute cancel.. Hopefully I will have this installed in the next couple of weeks.

perfect location

Comfortable stay, everything we needed, except the wifi ran out part way through our stay. More than expected in the kitchen and bathroom supplies, comfy beds and great having the heat pumps. Great garden front and back. Love the fruit trees and quiet potter in the garden.

Lovely beach adjacent home

Nicely decorated home in a great neighborhood. You can easily walk down to the beach from here We had some issues with getting the smart TV to connect towards the end of our stay but figured out a solution with our laptop. Very comfy beds and good kitchen for preparing light meals. Although there is a washer and dryer, it would have been helpful to know we’d have to bring our own detergent. Overall a great stay!
