We were a family of parents, children & 4 small granddaughters. The home was the perfect size & location, the 3rd bathroom a bonus as was the spacious rooms & overall layout. The home was presented very clean thank you. We as a family prefer to self cater most of our meals & while the kitchen was spacious, the crockery, cutlery, glassware (and lack of), utensils etc were either too small, chipped, cracked or not sufficient for a med sized family group. The total lack of baking dishes & trays, gasmatch for bbq etc was frustrating. The non working dishwasher should have been checked & replaced prior to our arrival. A small onsite pool was nice but was made even more so by the constant presence of the creepy crawly. It does not filter all the plastic & foam particles out of the water from the old foam pool noodles. We saw this in the water quite clearly with our swim goggles. There were only 2 rather old Sun loungers for us 8 to “share” & sadly the fabric on one split the first time one of the kids sat on it. The aircon units while functioning were exceedingly noisy, the upstairs master bedroom dripped its water straight down over the roof as no gutter then dropped straight onto us sitting below at the outdoor table. Downstairs lounge too hot & needs something more than a stand fan. Other than these small (but annoying) things, the location & house itself was wonderful, it just needs some minor maintenance, work needed on insect screens so they open & lock at night.
