We enjoyed a great family beach holiday at this house. Kellie, our host, made every effort to ensure our stay was comfortable and we had all that we needed. The house works well for a family such as ours (ourselves, our boys and their families). Thanks, Kellie, for another great stay.

Great family house.

Enjoyed our stay very much. Good location. Roomy house ideal for family. The children loved having their own space and all that was provided for them. Kellie was a very good host, easily contactable and dealt with a couple of little issues which arose during our stay promptly.

Torquay Beach was lovely!

My family and friends enjoyed our stay at this Torquay getaway. In such short notice, we were served with great hospitality and service. We only booked it for two nights and that’s not enough time to explore all of Torquay beach. I definitely recommend booking this place, you won’t be disappointed!

Superbly equipped and comfortable large house

We were amazed at how well equipped the house. Coffee machine, high chair, clean doggy bed, stair gaurd for infants, board games galore, roomy beds, outside shower, etc were some of the additional nice touches. So easy to access and an easy walk to town

Ideal family house

This was our third stay at this house. We find it ideal for our family which includes 6 children who have their own area downstairs - works so well for them and the adults. Beach is only a short walk away which is great. Kellie is a very accommodating host, easy to contact and made sure we had everything we needed.

This is a wonderful house for a family holiday.

The house is well equipped with everything you would need to have a comfortable stay. The attention to detail is amazing. We were 10 people (six adults, 3 children and 1 toddler) and we found everything we needed. E.G. all cooking implements, a wonderful table on the balcony that sits 10 people, a porta cot, a stair gate that installs very easily, games and toys including a ping pong table, beach chairs and paddle boards, etc. The house is also close to one of the beaches of Torquay. Kellie was a fantastic host, responding very quickly to any of our questions.

Great getaway, super close to beach

We had had a wonderful stay here. So close to the beautiful beach, leash free all year round for dogs. We loved the fireplace and bright upstairs living area. It had everything you need for a great holiday. Only drawback was being right on a noisy road, but once doors and windows were closed it was fine. Great communication from the host.
