Great stay in a family friendly house!

We had an excellent Easter in Balgowan at the house. It is really well kitted out with everything you need. Very comfortable and a terrific deck out the front. Our boys loved the pool and table tennis tables in particular. We will definitely stay again!

Great stay as always with perfect location and views. Everything is there that we need. Would be nice if the front bedroom blind and window could be fixed as it was broken last time we used it as well. Overall, it was perfect for our family and would highly recommend

Why they chose this property

This property is so versatile for a quiet beach getaway for a couple or two relaxing on the deck which overlooks the water. Or a family escape with pool table and table tennis tables to entertain the kids. Also great accommodation if you are going on the Balgowan Fishing Charter as it's only a short walk to the boat ramp and beaches.

What makes this property unique

Balgowan offers great exploring options with the beach - either drive on the cliff side beach or walk on the southern side which provides a pontoon to swim out to in summer. Balgowan is well known for great fishing spots. There is walking tracks along the red cliff top.
