Very clean, great garden and nice, quiet location. We went with two families. One of the rooms for the kids was through the parents room, which worked well for us but may not suit older kids.

All around great property for a little getaway. Perfect for 6 adults and 3 kids. Ample outdoor space on both side and the wrap around balcony was very special too. The kitchen has everything you need and more and we loved having the fire inside in the living. Bottle shop and skate park within walking distance. 20-30min from surfing beaches. 10min to shopping with everything. Highly recommended.

We have stayed at the Rectory 4 times for our girls golf trips and I have to say - it has never disappointed us. Sue has made sure she has everything you could possibly need. The house is beautifully maintained, the beds are super comfy, the kitchen is extremely well equipped and the location is perfect. I would highly recommend a stay here.
