Yes, we enjoyed our stay. It would have been perfect if there is an ensuite in the Master bedroom because at the moment there is only one bathroom in the house. Thought there is a second toilet in the laundry, it is not convenient to use at the night time.

Lovely relaxing stay

2 x families stayed at this lovely house. The hosts were attentive and left us flowers and a bottle of wine. Communication was easy and the house was well stocked. The kids absolutely loved the pool! Thanks so much for having us.

Not bad but not worth price

We stayed over NYE for 3 nights. When arriving we realised we never received the code to unlock the door and it took a little while for the host to work out what the code would be, he seemed a bit confused on the phone. Things looked a lot more state of the art in photos. The pizza oven didn’t have a paddle so we had to use tongs and spatulas to safely get the pizza into and out of the oven. I did call the host to ask about this and he said it was ‘somewhere’. The BBQ has an open back which is strange, as you can’t generate much heat. We tried covering the back with foil but it didn’t really work so ended up pan frying our steaks. My partner is a chef so knows what he’s doing. Host really needs to replaced the ratty wind/rain sail on the back porch, it’s got rips in it and pretty dirty/mouldy at the bottom. There was no hand towel in the bathroom, and the room with the single beds had no proper bed piillowsc just couch cushions. Aside from these things we had a great time as we had great company and enjoyed sitting by the pool during the days. I would not pay the price we paid for this place again, not worth it

Great house for family or larger group

We stayed here while competing in a sporting event at Lake Illawarra. The location was perfect for us and the pool was nice at the end of a hot day. The kitchen is well appointed and we really appreciated the coffee machine. Winston is a great host and really helpful. Recommended

Family reunion

Good property for a family reunion! Kitchen was well equipped and a pantry stocked with the basics, no need to eat out. Great to have some kids toys and books available for visitors too The only downside was that the BBQ was dirty and hadn’t been cleaned since it’s last use. However we enjoyed our stay.
