Reviewer Comments:
Second January holiday at La Mer, after 12 years previosuly at Beau Soleil. La Mer is a 2 storey house. The top level has had a full renovation 2 years ago, modernising, opening up the brilliant view with a fantastic deck and BBQ zone. The lower floor remains in original condition from the 70s/80s - while spacious and functional, very little time spent in those spaces except for sleepingPositives :- Best view in Crescent Head from the top deck- great modern kitchen - plentifully stocked. Sharp quality knives a bonus - thank you !- Upstairs bathroom - a terrific renovation, modern and sleek. Worthy of a magazine shoot !- lounge zone - very comfortable for up to 6 people. TV works well, wifi available and works well- BBQ - large and with bar fridge for frosty beverages. Excellent. Outdoor table seats 6, not quite large enough if the house is at full capacityTo make the upstairs perfect :- Fly screens across the large glass doors - on still evenings, insects are an issue, the large doors must be closed, restricting airflow- Bedrooms - a bedisde lamp on each side of the double beds (currently one per room) would be ideal- Bedrooms - can get stuffy in hot weather. Fans provided are ok, but the rooms do get hot/sticky- Bedrooms - Bed 2 (broken base), Bed 3 (slat bed base) - could do with an update. Bed 1 - top mattress did not agree with my back.- our week had quite a bit of damp weather - a dryer would have helped (washer only in laundry)- our rental includes a clean fee of $250 - frankly I don't believe the cleaners did a great job (for that fee) ahead of our visit.As we were max 6 people at the property this week, we did not use the lower area. If the current owners were to do an update to this level, La Mer would elevate to another level as a large capacity 10-12 person property.This is certainly a step up from our previous Crescent Head holiday venue (Beausoleil)
