The property is in a fabulous location and so well set out. The accomodation comprises the main house and basement and a separate sleep out which is fab for multigenerational holidays. The kitchen is incredibly well equipped. We loved our stay there and would definitely recommend it. The host/ owner is super helpful and communication was excellent. I really liked that the owner checked in with me on the second day to see that everything was going well.

Great place for a big group. But the downstairs area had a very low ceiling so not for tall people to inhabit, But all other areas were perfect for any height.

Really great property, well set up with everything you need. We had 9 of us spread over the three different spaces, but spending time together in the main house. Nicely appointed kitchen and lounge and desk with a great view. Had a few wet weather days but we still found plenty to do with the Pool and Pingpong table, jigsaws and games.

A bright modern house upstairs, with excellent kitchen facilities and equipment. In clean condition, altho' the BBQ was dirty. The ground floor flat was a bit musty as warned, but worked fine with the young family - adults used the upstairs shower. The cottage was lovely. LOVED the views from the spacious deck, and the short walk to the beach. Thanks for everything, we are already recommending...

Stunning spot for a friends getaway

So impressed with all our communications with Geoff. Excellent facilities. Lots of room and great location. Would suit several families who all wanted their own space. We had lots of fun with the table tennis!

Lovely summer getaway

This property was was extremely well equipped for the group, especially the kitchens. Host communication was excellent and instructions were thorough. Just to note the basement is separate from upstairs (no stairs in between) which may or may not be ideal for other groups. We had a wonderful and relaxing stay here.

Extended family gathering

This property was ideal for our family get together spanning three generations. With so much room we were able to spread out and enjoy ourselves. We found the kitchen was extremely well equipped and the clear labelling made meal preparation a breeze. The pool and table tennis tables were a real hit as were the scooters and swings. We all had a great time and would love to come back some time.
