This property was comfortable enough and well stocked but I suggest guests takes photos of any existing damage on arrival. Landlords struggle with normal ware and tare on property. If guests have any knee problems the lounge furniture is quite low to the ground .We had three adults who required a bed room each. One adult had to sleep on the bottom of a bunk bed with a single mattress.

Plenty of room for everything

We had three generations staying at the property - Mum and I just wanted a midweek getaway, while daughter monopolised the dining table with university coding work. The separate tv space meant we could all use the house and enjoy our time together without getting in each other’s hair.The place was spotless and everything worked as it should.

Perfect family home

This truly is a home away from home. We stayed as a family of 4 (2 adults, 6yo and 13yo) and a little dog. We really enjoyed our stay! The house is very clean, spacious and modern with a big backyard and has literally everything for you as well as your dog. There's extra blankets, dog towels, dog bowls, well-equipped kitchen with more than just the basic appliances (blender, coffee, machine, sandwich press), kids games, puzzles,, toys, books for adults and kids, 3 TVs, backyard games (cricket, badminton, chalk), beach toys.The host Jodie is very responsive and lovely! I would highly recommend this home for 1 or even 2 families!

This is our second stay here, and it certainly won't be our last! The home is beautiful, spotless, and truly feels like a home away from home. The owners are wonderful—kind, and welcoming. The outdoor space is absolutely stunning, providing the perfect area for both children and dogs to play. The home is located in a quiet estate and only a short drive from the beach. We love staying here!
