We stayed at the Bower for a week over Easter 2021, a family of five, and it was a lovely sunny week of perfect weather. What a nice spot with calm beaches, dunes and inlets and shells and fossils everywhere. The house is comfy and spacious, kind of eccentric with the original kitchen and bathroom, but perfectly functional with a good range of appliances, and strange feature bannisters here and there. New additions include a characterful pot billy stove that it wasn't cold enough to light, and some tasteful antiques. The kids got stuck into the selection of games and books and dvds. The garden has a really amazing variety of plants with a nice secluded table to sit out the back, little paths, orange and lemon trees and lots of interesting bugs. We spotted the bower bird sitting in a tree out the front.
Only cons: the neighbour didn't like it when we drove over his driveway to park and got argumentative about it, and the agents/cleaners only left us only one sachet of dish liquid for the whole week and no laundry powder which was a bit tight and annoying as the shops were shut over Easter.
