Beautiful home with plenty of room. Very well-equipped kitchen - plenty of crockery, cutlery and glassware for large group and great to have living area that can seat everyone comfortably. Great location and loved staying here.
This property is fantastic for families. There was plenty of space for our teenagers and their friends to stay for a few nights and a big kitchen for family dinners.
The listing should be updated to reflect king single beds (not singles). Fortunately we brought spare sheets and were able to make it work, but it was a bit of a pain.
Great spot walking distance to the beach and surf. But plenty of off street parking there is not. If only 2 cars, no issue. House was great and gave us everything we needed except linen, which was a bit of a pain.
The property was perfect for our needs and the size of the group. Location central and suitable. Kitchen was the best equipped we have seen. Outlook from the upstairs deck fantastic.On line listing could be better. Listing says there are 4 bathrooms whereas in fact there are 3. This did not really bother us but would like to see correct listing. The size of the bunk beds was not stated and the agent was not sure. In each of the two bunk rooms, there are two king singles, one double and one single bed.Would like to see maybe 2 chairs and a small table in the bungalow. We were short on toilet paper in the bungalow.We felt the garden needs some TLC and the scrappy plants in front of the house are growing over the path and we think represent a safety hazard. The lawn was immaculate and beautifully kept.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed feedback! We're delighted to hear that the property suited your group's needs so well, and that you enjoyed the central location, the beautifully equipped kitchen, and the stunning outlook from the upstairs deck. It’s always wonderful to know when guests feel at home and comfortable.
We truly appreciate you pointing out the discrepancies in the online listing, and we’ll be sure to update the bathroom count and bunk bed details to ensure future guests have accurate information. Your suggestion about adding chairs and a table in the bungalow is a great idea, and we'll definitely consider it for future improvements.
Apologies for the shortage of toilet paper in the bungalow — we’ll be addressing this with our housekeeping team to ensure it doesn’t happen again. Thank you also for highlighting the garden maintenance needs; we take safety seriously and will arrange for the overgrown plants near the path to be trimmed. We're glad you noticed the care put into maintaining the lawn!
Thanks again for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back in the future.
