Perfect Bach House

The property was the perfect size and location for a beach getaway. The house was spacious for a big group, with a nice indoor-outdoor area. It was only a few streets back from the beach so easy enough to walk.

Family Weekend Away.

As a large extended family group the house was perfect. There were plenty of beds and spaces for everyone to enjoy without being on top of each other. Awesome big deck to enjoy outside and a safe enclosed garden for the kids. Awesome location being close to the beach and Blackies Cafe. Shane was so helpful and great with communication. Highly recommend and we will be back!

Brilliant location; great house

The location was excellent- easy walk to front beach and main beach. Quiet area with friendly neighbours. The house was lovely and big. We had hot temps whilst staying and a couple of fans were needed. Communication with host was excellent. I missed that there were no photos of the kitchen in the listing and I missed that there was no dishwasher - but we coped! Would definitely stay again.
