Fantastic location, close to surf beach, surf club and café.This place would be excellent in the summer but not so great in the winter with young children. The gas fire was not great for putting out heat and we didn't use 3 out of the 4 wall heaters in the bedrooms as they had cracks in them.Overall the setup was excellent with everything you needed for cooking and a big deck outside for entertaining.The front bedroom had alot of mould on a blind and hadn't been cleaned that well.
