Perfect quiet family time in a lovely well appointed home

Lovely home, had absolutely everything we needed, our host was absolutely amazing, very communicative, and a pleasure to deal with. Quiet and beautiful area. The house is perfect for family to either be together or have their own private space. Loved the house, would highly recommend and would stay again and again. Thank you

Great place in an excellent location.

The house had several living areas which made it easy to accomodate two families. The outside area at the back was our go to area for games, breakfast, chats. A short stroll to the beach which was excellent too.

Loved it

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful holiday house! Sandy, the host, was absolutely amazing—so helpful and accommodating throughout our stay. The house itself is a charming, big, old coastal property with all the space you need, making it perfect for a large family getaway. It had everything we could possibly need, from cozy spaces to relaxing outdoor living. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a memorable family vacation!

Great multi family house

The place was perfect for our young families to mix and enjoy. The multi room family areas provide great flexibility to play with the provided toys, scooters and puzzles, kitchen and barbecue worked well. Lacked for nothing.

Best place to stay in Albany!

This has to be one of nicest places we stayed in, and we do a fair bit of travel as a family. The place is clean, tidy and very cosy. It’s convenience is fantastic, everything is thought off and available. It’s warm in winter, air con in every room, and has lots of space and kids for toys. Sandy is so friendly and communicative, we locked our self out of the house late one evening, and she responded in seconds, she was happy to help out and save the day. Thank you, we will be back again.

Family Weekend Getaway

Property is extremely well set up for a large group of people with plenty of space. The main thing that stood out for me though was the level of service from the Host. Sandy was so easy to deal with and provided an instant and perfect solution when we managed to lock our selves out of the property. 12 people in the house and not one single person picked the bloody key up off the bench 😂 Would defiantly recommend and will be re booking in the future.
