Our family stay was exactly what we needed. Extremely close to the beach, shops and Hotel. Superb house and amenities. It was really well looked after and we particularly appreciated the outside area for the kids to play and the array of kids toys and games on offer. The kitchen was well appointed and great off street parking. We look forward to another family holiday soon.

Spacious family holiday home with everything you could need

There was plenty of room for all of us with separate living areas and plenty of outdoor space. The noisy kids could be despatched upstairs or outside to give us some peace. The DVD’s, games and toys were appreciated and well used. The kitchen equipment was pretty good aside from the usual poor quality / insufficient knives grumble for holiday properties. I’d probably also add one or two more mid sized saucepans if it was my house. The one main thing letting the kitchen down was the rickety dishwasher. The bedrooms were all at a minimum a good size and the master bedroom is huge with a lovely en-suite. The laundry facilities were essential for a beach holiday and the hot outside shower is brilliant.

Excellent location and spacious

Had a lovely weekend away. House was in prime location close to so many things. Clean and neat house. Spacious enough for two families. Kids had ball with the toys and things to do around the house. Will be coming back to this house. Only thing I would suggest is toilet brushes in the toilets other than that everything else was great.

Family friendly and great location!

We had a wonderful stay at 'The convent family beach house.' It was very spacious which was handy with 2 little kids and had lots of amenities for the little ones (toys/dvds/cot/high chair). Was in a fantastic location, walking distance to cafe/restaurants/park/surf checks/bird-rock pathway), and was only a short drive into Torquay. Meaghan was a fantastic host who supplied us with great local information and was quick to respond to any questions we had. We would definately stay here again.
