Thank you! We're so pleased the home was a great fit for your group and that you enjoyed the views and cleanliness. We’d love to welcome you back again!
We celebrated my husband’s 80th birthday with our family, the house accommodated 13 of us comfortably with all our needs met. The deck overlooking the bay is a highlight and spacious; providing plenty of room for our large family gathering. Clean, fresh and tidy; we arrived to a warm house and a lovely bottle of wine to enjoy. Another feature was the Coonara wood heater adding another element to our stayThe kitchen is well appointed with plenty of crockery, glassware, pots, pans and electric appliances. Comfortable beds, beautifully appointed with plenty of seating both indoor and on the deck. Highly recommend this property.Location was ideal and convenient.

That's great your family had a lovely time together for your dad's birthday. We hope you all can stay again soon.
We had 16 people (8 adults and 8 kids) stay for 2 nights. The venue was perfect - each couple got their own bed and each child had their own bed - it was perfect. The facilities were ideal, and the balcony was next level. I would highly recommend and we would definitely come back.

We're so pleased the house was perfect for your group and we hope you can stay again soon.
This property has amazing views across to the bay, being able to see the city skyline from afar and watching all the ships go by. We stayed in winter however the outside deck would be so good during summer.The house was well equipped with everything we needed including an air fryer and champagne stopper (which is often overlooked). There were plenty of cups, glasses, cutlery and crockery which was so handy. There were also some basic pantry items too which was very appreciated.The living areas were so great with enough seating space for everyone and the house is well set up for both big and little kids alike. Staying in the winter meant we were also able to enjoy the wood heater, making the upstairs living area very toasty.I happily recommend this house and will look for another opportunity to stay again.
