Retro holiday stay

The property is pretty dated but cool - nice beach house vibe and excellent amount of room. Needs a really good clean and some things fixed up - especially for the money. Pool table pockets, front door lock (really sticky - nearly busted the key), shower cutains, heaps of rubbish under lounges. We had fun but would look elsewhere for the same money.

Footprints on our heart

Our first family holiday with our son's and their families. It couldn't have been more lovely. Well perhaps a couple of extra days maybe. :-) With 6 adults and 3 children there was space for everyone. The view was lovely, listening the the waves as you drifted off to sleep. Our short walk to the beach was just enough so the little ones could walk. The water was crystal clear. Yes 2 more days would have been amazing for everyone. Maybe next time.

Beautiful location

We stayed with adults, children and 2 dogs. Great having access to 2 kitchens and 2 bathrooms. The secure yard gave us peace of mind. Close proximity to beach. Could benefit from having a pantry to store food, but otherwise had everything we needed.

Beach stay

Great for our three generations, enough space for all. Children liked the trampoline and riding their bikes around the path. Dogs also had a good time. Beach is close and enjoyed by all.

Great family holiday house

We had a lovely winter holiday here. Well set up for kids, nice and clean and we spent every morning on the beach hunting in the rock pools. Kitchen was basic but fine for simple cheers cooking in between meals out.

Weekend getaway

Great location, had everything we needed. No great outdoor seating the benches were hard for my elderly parents and no one slept well all the beds were really hard and we all woke up sore. It was a great weekend away for us all, we had e generations all together which was great. Plenty for our young adult children to do, but still relaxing for us older kids

Family Get Together

A fantastic property for multi generation families. Our group consisted of 7 adults 4 children and 2 babies. It was a child friendly place with plenty to keep people if all ages occupied and safe. It felt like a home way from home with a beautiful view, easy walking distance to the beach and a magpie which sat on the balcony. The family are already looking to go again
