Location was perfect , disappointed that we could not access through the back of the property no back door entrance especially when you have dogs with you A bit of a fire risk only having one entrance in and out of the property

Hello, thanks for your feedback, as per the listing you will have read before you booked the home, it is stated on the floorplan about the door. I have also been in communication with Stayz and they have confirmed this is not a fire risk or safety hazard. The home is compliant with Australian emergency regulations.

Beautiful cozy house ideal for 6 to 8 people. The house overall was very clean and tidy except for the bedroom upstairs, the bed was a bit smelly. Very close to the back beach and a a few coupe of minutes drive to the town centre. We enjoyed every moment in the house and would highly recommend it.
