The property is an adorable little house extension, close to multiple playgrounds, a four square, and a nice little shopping area! Location is great and the property is too. The main house was incredibly tidy and was really comfortable. We went in the middle of winter and the place was warm, and the kitchen was easy to use. Everything in the way of cleaning products and spices and stuff were actually provided which was very nice. Anyway to sum up, the place was great and will definitely be booking again!!

Easter getaway

We absolutely loved our stay! The house had everything we needed and so peaceful. The birdsong is so impressive as you sit having your coffee in the morning sun outside. Geast location for walks through the reserve and beach.

We had an awesome stay here. The place was warm, tidy and really comfy — the fire got the space toasty in no time. The bed was great and it was a nice surprise to find an air fryer along with everything we needed in the kitchen. It’s a quiet street with heaps of native birdsong in the mornings. Such a peaceful spot, we’d happily come back again!

Cosy and convenient

We stayed 3 nights with 4 kids aged 4 to 12 and this place was great because the 2 bed self contained sleepout provided a perfect retreat fir the kids while parents and our 4 yo relaxed in the main house with the cosy fireplace. Everything was setup nicely and well equipped with quality dishes and cutlery etc.Very happy with this little haven and highly recommend it.
