Or stay at Wool Bay

We had a wonderful stay. Being a large family and having our family dog made this house perfect for us. There was ample room, a secure yard. It was clean and the back yard was nice. It wasn’t far to the beach and Wool Bay is a central town to the three surrounding towns.Overall a nice quiet stay away .

Bugs in bed & spiders in room

There were bugs in the bed located next to the lounge so we could not use that room, looked like ticks. They only came out at night. Also spiders were in the bedroom off the butlers pantry that also made their way into the babies cot, so we could not use that room

quiet family spot

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A great spot to get away in summer. the beach was good for kids and fishing. With so many towns close by its a good spot to base yourself. house was clean and tidy with a great sized yard for kids. during Hot weather the accommodation really struggled to stay cool with only one tiny aircon to service the whole house. 2 rooms did have fans but due to age they had developed excessive noise. We slept in the lounge one night due to heat. The only real other issue for me, which may not be for everyone, was lack of phone connectivity. I had family I needed to be in contact with and a business to manage while away. this could not happen without a drive to a nearby town. I would stay again without hesitation if an appropriate aircon was installed and Wi-Fi enabled. infrastructure. Overall, wool bay was a good short getaway.
