Quiet Location Close to the Beach
The house is very large, clean and well kept with quality linen and towels and kitchen appliances. The view to the ocean and down the coast towards Bonny Hills is fantastic. Very close to the beach, lagoon, tennis courts and shops making the location ideal for walking. The host is very timely on providing answers to questions. We will definitely stay in this accommodation again. Thanks Andrew
