We throughly enjoyed our stay at Swansea Sands Family Home. The house was in a good location. Very spacious, clean and comfortable for our family of 5. The place was fully equipped with great kitchen utensils, toys for the kids, big BBQ and the high chair came in handy for our little one. We would stay here again.

Wonderfully presented property that had everything we needed and more. Welcome pack celebrating Easter was an awesome touch. Clean, tidy, well equipped, convenient location very close to the lake and the walk around the top of the peninsula for the dogs. Thank you so much for allowing others to use your property.

We really enjoyed our day. The house was very clean, tidy, spacious, and had all the extra things that we could possibly need. Our kids really liked all the toys and games and we made good use of the highchair and the cot. We hope to return again.
