We stayed with adults, children and 2 dogs. Great having access to 2 kitchens and 2 bathrooms. The secure yard gave us peace of mind.
Close proximity to beach.
Could benefit from having a pantry to store food, but otherwise had everything we needed.

Retro holiday stay
The property is pretty dated but cool - nice beach house vibe and excellent amount of room.
Needs a really good clean and some things fixed up - especially for the money. Pool table pockets, front door lock (really sticky - nearly busted the key), shower cutains, heaps of rubbish under lounges.
We had fun but would look elsewhere for the same money.

Our first family holiday with our son's and their families. It couldn't have been more lovely. Well perhaps a couple of extra days maybe. :-) With 6 adults and 3 children there was space for everyone. The view was lovely, listening the the waves as you drifted off to sleep. Our short walk to the beach was just enough so the little ones could walk. The water was crystal clear. Yes 2 more days would have been amazing for everyone. Maybe next time.

Spacious & comfortable with sea views
We were an extended family group of 10, who very much enjoyed our stay at this large house, a short walk from the beach. Apart from the wild weather, we had a great weekend in what is a very comfortable property. Whilst the dcor is a little outdated, don't let that put you off as it is very clean and well maintained and the rooms are all good size. The kitchen was well stocked with what we needed - just missing a grater and a bottle opener! The second fridge downstairs was great for drinks, as the main fridge was not overly large for a big group of people. The gladwrap, alfoil, dishwashing liquid, tea towels, coffee/tea/sugar, and even some laundry detergent were a nice touch. The pool table downstairs got good use and was a great activity for young and old to participate in together. The pillows and doonas were comfy, plenty of hot water for showers, the BBQ was clean and it was so quiet we could hear the sea. We'll be back. Many thanks.

Thank you for this outstanding review Sue! You have really painted a picture of how great this property truly is. We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay and we hope to see you again very soon!
Great for our three generations, enough space for all. Children liked the trampoline and riding their bikes around the path. Dogs also had a good time. Beach is close and enjoyed by all.
We had a lovely winter holiday here. Well set up for kids, nice and clean and we spent every morning on the beach hunting in the rock pools. Kitchen was basic but fine for simple cheers cooking in between meals out.
Great location, had everything we needed. No great outdoor seating the benches were hard for my elderly parents and no one slept well all the beds were really hard and we all woke up sore. It was a great weekend away for us all, we had e generations all together which was great. Plenty for our young adult children to do, but still relaxing for us older kids
A fantastic property for multi generation families. Our group consisted of 7 adults 4 children and 2 babies. It was a child friendly place with plenty to keep people if all ages occupied and safe. It felt like a home way from home with a beautiful view, easy walking distance to the beach and a magpie which sat on the balcony.
The family are already looking to go again
Great place to enjoy a short stay with family and friends
Lovely property and facilities!

Loved it. Loved everything about this place!!
I could not stop smiling the whole time. It was everything that I had hoped for and more.
Cleanliness was excellent. The layout of the rooms/living space worked really well. It also just had a really nice feel to the place, a nice flow and just felt calming.
Kitchen utensils etc were all great. The labeled tea/coffee was very thoughtful.
The A/Cs were both great. The lounge was comfy and super spacious.
Outdoor area was great!! We had a 4yr old with us and she loved the trampoline and swing set. Enclosed yard for kid and dogs was good too.
It was really good because we could still keep our eye on her and the dogs even if we sat up on the balcony.
The views were incredible. Outdoor setting was good, nice high back chairs.
Couldnt fault this place or the service I had from you guys.
There is no doubt in my mind that I will book through your company again and will likely book the same place as it was perfect.
Thankyou so much for an unforgettable weekend away.
