Comfortable spacious unit in a great location!
We had a great time in this unit. Unfortunately we had a rocky check-in being told we would receive check-in details closer to our stay which never came. Luckily O'Brien's real estate (who handle the rental) were easy to find on the main Street and had a key for us.
The unit is the first of 5 units on the block so we had our own driveway. The street was super quiet and the house has an alarm so very safe. Bedrooms were spacious and the loungeroom was very comfy with a sliding door that blocked the tv noise from the kids rooms. Location was perfect. Coles right around the corner and beach within walking distance. Would highly recommend.

Apart from linen which would have been great to include in the package, as a family we could not ask for a more better and csierplace than this house. We will be back! See you soon :).
