We had the most wonderful time at this lovely beachside bach.From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The location is simply unbeatable, just a short stroll to the beautiful beach, scenic waterholes, boat ramps, and some great bush walks. The home had plenty of parking spaces as well as out door area for activities with family. It was the perfect setting for a relaxed and fun-filled holiday with family and friends.The house itself is spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room for everyone to spread out and enjoy. We loved the dual lounges and kitchens, handy for big groups, and the layout made everything feel effortless. Loved the different board games, having no wifi at the property was also a plus as kids were more engaged with activities. Waking up each morning in such a peaceful and scenic spot was a real treat.Everything was clean, well-equipped, and exactly as described. We especially appreciated how easy it was to coordinate with the host and plan our arrival. Whether we were unwinding after beach adventures or enjoying meals together, this place truly felt like a home away from home.Thank you for an unforgettable stay.

Adequate for our needs of a warm house, comfy bed and hot showers. Everyone had a room. We spent most of our times in Thames. Missed having a microwave and was difficult one night when we did cook that there wasn't enough saucepans in either kitchen to cook for 8 adults. Bathrooms need a makeover to give more space. House smelt very musty and we had to air it out. Despite these minor challenges, we enjoyed our stay and the convenience of having everyone under one roof.

Hi Cathy thanks for letting us know about the saucepans- we do try to check the inventory after each guest leaves but we do have things going missing a lot. These will be repurchased this week. Over winter it is hard to keep the place aired out as it isn't used much. Yes the bathrooms are small -such is the time it was built everything was built small! Glad that you had a great stay.
