About the home

"Sunderland Retreat" is a lovely home with stunning water views, close to the beach in Sunderland Bay. Some of the many features of this lovely home are detailed below:

Indoor Areas

Downstairs you will find the open plan living with a sizeable kitchen, dining, and living area (with TV and Chromecast). Bedrooms 2 and 3 are downstairs, along with the laundry (including a second refrigerator), main bathroom (with free-standing bath & shower), and a separate toilet.

Upstairs is the master bedroom, complete with en-suite (including rain shower head and toilet), walk-through robe, and private side balcony. There is also a second living area (with new smart 50" TV and Chromecast) which seamlessly opens out onto a large balcony with scenic views.

Outdoor Areas

The lovely upstairs balcony with seating for up to 8 people provides water views over Sunderland Bay to Pyramid Rock, and there is a downstairs covered deck area (with BBQ and more seating for up to 8 people). The electric heated 6 person spa (with moderate jet functionality as of March 2024) and the fully enclosed rear yard, complete with a hammock, provides an amazing opportunity to relax in style.

The double garage has been converted into a games room, complete with table tennis, foosball, air hockey, darts, sofa and coffee table.

Kitchen

The fully appointed kitchen is equipped with cooking utensils, crockery, cutlery, microwave, toaster, kettle, Nespresso pod coffee machine, etc., plus a sink, fridge, dishwasher, electric oven and cook top. There is also a second full sized fridge in the laundry.

Heating/Cooling Systems

There are wall mounted reverse cycle airconditioners in both the downstairs and upstairs living rooms. There are also ceiling fans and wall mounted heaters in bedroom 1 and 2, plus a mobile heater and fan for use in bedroom 3.

There is also a double divan/sofa bed in the upstairs living room, suitable for one adult or child.

Linen

It is common in the region for some linen to be provided for bookings, and some linen to be available as an optional extra. By default, a booking at this home does not include optional linen (top & bottom sheets, bath towels and pillowcases). What is included are doonas (quilts) with covers, pillows without covers, tea towels, hand towels and bathmats. If you would like the optional linen included in your booking, please let us know, including which beds you would like it provided for. The additional cost would be a one-off charge of $30 per bed (some sites add a service fee to these costs) - and we prefer 7 days' notice prior to your arrival to get that arranged.

Peak Periods

Please note that during the peak summer period and other peak times, check in times are set as 3pm (unless by prior arrangement). Please also note that if you avail of the optional linen hire over these times, it may involve linen being left out but beds not being made up.

Very disappointed with our stay i had specifically reached out asking if the spa had been fixed as a previous review stated the jets were barely working, the host told me they had it fixed and has been working fine since and that they have a technician service it before each stay which seems like a lie as barely any of the jets worked, the spa was the main reason i booked this place and it did not even work as it should might aswell only list it as a hot tub.Ontop of all this the property looks very poorly maintained first thing we were greeted by was a decaying bird on the floor, the inside of the house was dirty popcorn on the floor, dirt,dead bugs on the carpet dust on the windows where people had drawn and written on, stains on the bed. The upstairs area was poorly mopped and the floor was dusty, the bathrooms were disgusting with a funky odour in each one and the windows were either locked with no key to open or jammed shut which didn't help, the shower had black mold on the grout, the ceiling on the ground level also had black mold growing, this place seems like it had not been cleaned in at least a month with how dirty it was when we arrived alot of cob webs and spiders, i also have videos of a bunch of ants upstairs eating something that was under the couch, there were also a bunch of ants which appeared to be coming from behind the ensuite sink.The sliding door in main bed also jamsVery disappointed with our stay for above reasons, save your money book elsewhere

Great Family Stay

3 night stay for family of five (12, 9 and 7). Pros Great layout of the home (2 bedrooms downstairs - queen and bunk bed (double and single; master bedroom with ensuite upstairs) Awesome games room in the garage (table tennis, foosball, air hockey and darts) Ensuite has rain shower Tidy kitchen with large refrigerator Great wet room with washer and dryer TVs with Chromecast Reliable wifi (although it does get affected with microwave on!) Cons Hot tub was severely underperforming - nil power on jets. Heater worked great but there was zero output from the jets - it was basically a big outdoor bathtub. We called the management regarding the issue and were put in contact with hot tub service technician. There was a jet controller (selects different jets within tub) piece broken and they indicated that they ordered a new one. Not totally convinced that this was the issue as we were able to use a spanner to manipulate the sector but it did not improve any of the jet output. Kitchen - nil 25L bin bags available (used multiple small food waste bags), minimal dish washing detergent available, pantry needed to rearranged to be able to fit our supplies and dishwasher hadn’t been emptied on arrival. Screen door to deck need adjustment. Clutch on the blackout blind in the master bedroom doesn’t work - blind runs out when you extend it. Sliding door to the ensuite needs adjustment Air hockey score box needs new batteries. Paint flaking on ensuite ceiling.

What a location!

We had a fabulous stay at this property! It exceeded our expectations. The view from upstairs was amazing we could see the ocean and we loved the games room, we had a couple of small issues with the spa but apart from that we loved it!

Great Layout!

House is a great layout and in a great location. The spa had an error and back deck stairs are unsafe but we have notified the agent so hopefully they fix it! House was clean however bunk room was still a little dirty.
