Loved our family stay at this property. Amazing location with beautiful views. Appreciated the fully fenced front and back yard for our dog. Wish there was laundry service available, however clearly stated in property details with recommendation on where to go. Access to bay was straight across the road. Heaps of parking! Will definitely be revisiting.
