Plenty of room for everything

We had three generations staying at the property - Mum and I just wanted a midweek getaway, while daughter monopolised the dining table with university coding work. The separate tv space meant we could all use the house and enjoy our time together without getting in each other’s hair.The place was spotless and everything worked as it should.

Our favourite place to stay!

This is our second stay here, and it certainly won't be our last! The home is beautiful, spotless, and truly feels like a home away from home. The owners are wonderful—kind, and welcoming. The outdoor space is absolutely stunning, providing the perfect area for both children and dogs to play. The home is located in a quiet estate and only a short drive from the beach. We love staying here!

Perfect family home

This truly is a home away from home. We stayed as a family of 4 (2 adults, 6yo and 13yo) and a little dog. We really enjoyed our stay! The house is very clean, spacious and modern with a big backyard and has literally everything for you as well as your dog. There's extra blankets, dog towels, dog bowls, well-equipped kitchen with more than just the basic appliances (blender, coffee, machine, sandwich press), kids games, puzzles,, toys, books for adults and kids, 3 TVs, backyard games (cricket, badminton, chalk), beach toys.The host Jodie is very responsive and lovely! I would highly recommend this home for 1 or even 2 families!

10/10 This is a fantastic property to stay at. It’s modern, extremely clean and has everything you would need for a family holiday or a couples weekend away. The home is only a short drive to the beach/town and is situated in a quiet estate. The home is spacious and bright (photos don’t do it justice) and has a beautiful outdoor space perfect for relaxing or playing games. The owners are fantastic - very accommodating and communicative. The welcome gift upon arrival was a beautiful surprise/appreciated.

Fabulous in every way

This property is everything it's listed to be, plus more. The photos really dont to it justice. The house itself is incredibly spacious so our family of 5 had plenty of room to relax together, or apart. The variety of bedrooms meant that everyone had their own space, which was ideal, and the beds are incredibly comfortable. I honestly didnt want to get out of bed most mornings and the kids managed to sleep in regularly! Having two living spaces allowed us to separate when the footy was on and we loved the range of games available for the days when we didnt want to move far. The fully kitted kitchen allowed hubby to cook up a storm and having a full size dining table was great. Whilst the weather wasnt quite warm enough to dine outside, the space provided the perfect spot to enjoy a cuppa in the morning sun. The yard was a great space for our dog to enjoy and she really loved being so close to the beach. Again, the little touches provided just meant the entire family could enjoy their time away. Whilst the house is located in a relatively new estate, it's still really close to great walking tracks and wetland areas. We loved being able to walk around back streets to the beach and was an easy trek into town. Loved being at this property and the special gifts on arrival were greatly appreciated. Thanks so much Jodie and JP!
