Super family home
A family home with all the ‘extras’ that made our extended family long weekend together absolutely wonderful! Comfortable beds, enough bathrooms, entertainment areas including the tennis court and pool (too cold for June) and outdoor gardens to the short walk to the front beach, the home catered for all ages in our family group.

Family reunion holiday
We found it a great house for a large group from many age generations to enjoy varied activities and spaces. There were a great choice of activities for everyone. Although dogs were allowed at the property, not having a front gate meant there was a constant need to check it’s whereabouts.

Great family weekend
Thanks Adam and Belinda, We had an amazing long weekend with our children and grandchildren, 17 in total. The tennis court and basketball hoop were in use between showers. The games room was a perfect hang- out for the teenagers while the adults were able to relax in their own space. Marie and Michael

Wonderful location.
Within walking distance of front and back beaches as well as shopping centre but with so many activities to do on the property we spent much of our time at the house. The number of living areas, bedrooms a bathrooms was a huge bonus and we wanted for nothing. A few small maintenance things to be done in and around the house…we discussed that sometimes it’s a good idea for owners to stay on their properties for a while so they get to know these things and rectify. Overall we had a wonderful stay and certainly recommended for a large family.

A perfect venue for my 70th with the family. Children loved the tennis court and the pool with plenty of equipment provided. Plenty of space for them to run around. Games room allowed the adults to eat in peace! Kitchen very well equipped for the cooks in the family. My correspondence with Adam was immediate and helpful. The best birthday celebration!

All you need
This property ticks all the boxes. The location, in a quiet neighbourhood, is perfect with Sorrento Central and bay and ocean beaches all within easy walking distance. The property itself provides for all ages, we ranged from 1 to 72, with plenty to keep all occupied and room to quietly relax and enjoy. Highly recommend for large family gatherings.

The house was fantastic with plenty of room for all the couples and their children. The house had lots of amenities to keep all entertained during the stay. Shops and beach were walking distance for the house, only negative thing I’d have to say is the house had no cooling down stairs which was the main living area.

Great holiday house for a large group
Our family of 18 (aged 11-76) had a fantastic stay at this property. The multiple living/recreation areas meant that everyone was able to find a comfortable space for reading or games. We played downball on the half court tennis court and found the pool refreshing . The kitchen was well appointed for a large group and the bar fridge in the games room good for drinks. Adam was a helpful and responsive host! Highly recommended!!!

Great accomidation for large groups
The accomidation was great for our large family Christmas. Slept multiple families with ease. Everything was clean. The grounds were great for the kids, this meant we didn't have to go out all the time to entertain them. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you could need. The area is stunning. And the hosts were easy to deal with

Very spacious and great location
This property has great accommodation - we were four families and there was more than enough room. Great location too - 5 minutes walk to the front beach and 10 minutes to Sorrento shops. Luckily it was cooler in Sorrento during our stay as there is no air conditioning downstairs ( only a couple of units upstairs) so we found it got very hot and stuffy downstairs. It's great that the property allows dogs - but if you take your pet you need to be careful as there is no gate and most of the fences are not dog proof .
