Great little weekend trip
The house was clean and large. We enjoyed our stay and the children loved the little playground in the back and the pool. The area was quiet and a very short stroll to the beach. Great place to stay with family and friends.

Fabulous house and location
We had a wonderful week staying at the house. I live interstate so it was nice to have my sisters and nieces under one roof. The property was clean, kitchen well equipped and furnished perfectly for a family holiday. We loved sitting on the back deck, the kids enjoyed the swings and braved the pool! Highly recommend this property.

Great Hideaway for the Family
We were coming after a wedding with the whole family so we wanted somewhere we can spend time with each other after all the flurry of activities. The whole place was clean, spacious and had everything we needed except for towels. Having towels & linen would save guests from having to bring too much during their stay. All rooms had heaters, fans, doonah covers, protective bed & pillow cases though. Downstairs bathroom was a bit too small but definitely not a deal breaker. All utensils & kitchen appliances made cooking really easy. Pool, bbq and balcony all great for relaxing and eating together. Will definitely look to booking again for a big group!

The property is well maintained and offered everything a growing and multi- generational family could need. The pool, which was sparkling , was enjoyed every day and the play equipment was perfect for toddlers. The beach was a short walk away and accessible . The living spaces were great and gave us each enough space when we needed it. The fact there is no Wi-Fi and the telephone reception is poor did not bother us as it allowed us to truly switch off. Thanks for a great holiday!

Some good things and some not so good things...
The house interior is pleasant and the property seems to be partly through some renovations – kitchen is new and well equipped with new appliances. Bedrooms are clean and fresh with comfy beds and new/clean carpet. Great quiet location and close to the beach. It was cold and raining for most of our stay. While this is out of anyone’s control, it unfortunately highlighted some areas which were lacking for a holiday home. A major sore point was not having a dryer. The outside clothesline is not under cover and the small portable indoor clothes horse is broken and not sufficient for a house that can sleep up to 16 guests. Our bath towels remained damp, and we were stuck with wet beach towels from a trip to the indoor aquatic centre, which we couldn’t re-use for the pool when it did briefly clear up one afternoon. There is no undercover area outside, the BBQ had to be dragged under an eave so we could cook in the rain. We couldn't hang out or sit on the deck which was a shame. There is only one TV in the house, and it's downstairs which was annoying. Would’ve been much nicer to be part of the main living area so we could all be together watching a movie on a rainy afternoon while still having access to the kitchen. The dining table is grimy and sticky with markings of paint/ crafting. The wooden chopping boards in the kitchen smell from previous use. The main bathroom vanity sink has poor pressure and doesn’t drain. Having to bring all linen with us (sheet sets & doona covers for varying bed sizes, plus towels) wasn’t ideal. To try and work out all the bedding configurations, then have to make up the beds when you get there etc was not my idea of relaxing or being on holiday. While we were fully aware and fine with WIFI not being available, it did become a problem due to the fact that phone reception is very poor in the area generally. My husband was unable to hotspot/log in remotely to deal with an urgent work issue which caused some stress at the time. It also would've been a great option to be able to stream TV for the kids considering we had to spend so much more time indoors than we had wanted or planned to. And my last item for the wish list would be for the pool to be heated - but I might be pushing it now! Despite some of the above complaints, we still managed to have a great time away. With a few tweaks and extra provisions this property could really be amazing. Thanks for letting us stay and all the best for the future.

Short stay near the beach
The property suited our group of 8 adults and 6 children very well. The pool was a great hit with the kids, and the property was only a short walk to the beach for a change. Kitchen and facilities were suitable for a large number of guests.It was not "State of the Art" but compared favourably with other stays of similar capacity and cost. All questions were responded to efficiently.Would recommend the property to others with similar size group.

Beautiful position, close to beaches and club. But!!
Celebrating my 60th Birthday with immediate family, loads of beds available and a beautiful pool, although pool guy come unannounced. The rest of the house very aged, remote for TV not working, no air con, no internet, 3 of the guests ended up with nail scratches walking down the very steep stairs, and with a 15 month old the stair gate that didn't secure a nightmare. Also lacking in anything that says welcome, no toiletries, not even soap, no plastic cups for kids, no hair dryer, no dustpan, no mats to wipe your feet on at back door, no games, not even a set of playing cards, 2nd shower leaks continually, NOT suitable for dogs as there is no where for them to get out of the rain , no water buckets provided for them, no pool chairs to enjoy, just 2 plastic chairs. inside cupboards were dirty , dead cockroaches found as we were cleaning up to leave inside, freezer drawer was filthy, no cushions on lounges, reclining chair also broken, Having said all that I had a great weekend because I was with my family.

Ideal for our extended family
We stayed here for a week and it was so pleasant. It’s a close walk to the beach. The pool was a hit with the kids. There was plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. The lack of wifi and having only 1 tv were both winners for us as it showed that we could all “switch” off and truly relax for a week. The kitchen was very well-equipped. The home was well-presented and clean and was exactly as pictured. Although there was no air-conditioning and it did get hot during the day, by the afternoon, the sea breeze was beautiful and cool. And we survived :) Thanks for the lovely stay!

We enjoyed our stay thoroughly. The swimming pool was a big hit and we all had a great time. Location is excellent as very close to the beach (walking distance). It would be a bonus to add aircon, a tv upstairs and some outdoor furniture for the pergola downstairs. Other than that the house has plenty of space for everyone and the kitchen is well equipped too! Thank you for your hospitality Geoff and Roxii!

This house has plenty of room for everyone. The pool was great and everyone loved it. Great balcony with a big BBQ. Would be great if air conditioning was installed as you definitely felt the heat. There are plenty of pedestal fans provided. Only negative is the sink in the downstairs bathroom is tiny and difficult to use for anything other than rinsing a toothbrush. Great house for large groups. Everyone will love the pool and the beach is only a few minutes walk.
