Close to the Beach
Handy location although a busy road. We understood doona's were provided but they were only suitable as a thin bed spread, luckily we had brought our own anyway.

Cleanliness issues but would stay again
Great location, especially with the beach and grassed area across the road for the dogs. Easy bike ride into town. It may not have changed anything but we weren't told we had to bring all our own linen, towels, etc until after booking, that should have been in the property information prior to booking. Also it was mentioned after booking we were required to clean the house properly before leaving which was not in the property info before booking. Let's just say we left the property cleaner than it was before arriving, there was also not enough dishwashing/liquid to wash dishes. We were onto the last roll of toilet paper aswell and the upstairs toilet flush button would jam down meaning the toilet would keep running unless we improvised to unjam it. If we had of known we probably would've still booked but made us 2nd guess what else had been hidden from us. Atleast 1 doona was dirty, we were glad we all brought our own. We then went to use the bbq and had to spend 15 minutes cleaning and scrubbing it, it was absolutely filthy!! We took photos if you need.
The location and size of the property made the trip, if these issues didn't occur it would've been an awsome stay
