Excellent place
Fully equipped kitchen, loads of books, games to use. Bathrooms are great size and outdoor hot shower was good. Main bed was comfy. Does get hot at night when sleeping, one bedroom didn't have a fan. Easy to the beach, shop, playground. Fully recommend.

Loved coming back. The house is well set up for large groups of all ages, and so close to the beach. Would love a roof over the side deck! We will be back.

Fantastic family get together
It was such an incredible week. The house was huge and well equipped, right opposite beach. The house is well built and so warm. We had the fires on most nights and didn’t need to have our jumpers on lol. Just a perfect week really, huge window overlooking the beach access, saw the horses and their riders all going to and fro from beach. All the dog walkers.

Sunny team getaway escape
Lovely sunny spot for a team getaway. Even in early winter the place was warm with enough heaters for the bedrooms and a beautiful fire place in the main living area. This lounge was also large enough for us to comfortably hold a team workshop session during the day. Only downside to our whole stay was the sink didn't drain well after doing the dishes. Otherwise highly recommend for larger groups

Response from VrboOwner on 2 July 2023
We are pleased you enjoyed the property during your stay; you should have said something after noticing the slow draining sink and we would have sorted it out right there and then as we are not far away and we like to deal with issues as they arise.

We really rate this property as top notch. Quiet and very spacious. It is a wonderful place to rest and recover from our touch national competition. It has all that we required and being next to a cossie club with such friendly community it was a pleasure to meet such nice people. The beach was great for our recovery and so relaxing with beautiful views.
