Great family stay

We had a great stay, the house was in a great location, lots of space to relax and was well equipped. We didn’t realise that the bunk room doesn’t connect to the living areas via an indoor corridor. Wasn’t an issue as the kids could come out the other bedroom via the sliding door into the deck if needed at night.

Chilled vibes alright - the perfect weekend away. It was so easy to unwind in the tranquil setting. The beach close by and the Red Hill mountain biking trails only 10 minutes away for the bike mad teenagers. The house felt like home - all you needed for a night in - with a yard the dog could walk and a for out to sit around after dinner. The perfect holiday house for chilling. Michelle 👍
