Spacious bach in great location

Lovely bach for a group of six adults and a dog. Very spacious. Well equipped kitchen for Christmas day cooking. Fully fenced, however, there is a small space beneath the gate that small dogs could sneak under. Walking distance to the beach and shops. Would happily stay here again!

Gathering of the clan

The house is perfect for an extended family group..4 bedrooms, 2 showers and great indoor/outdoor flow .. amazingly well equipped..the toy boxes in the front bedroom were a hit! The house is just a block away from the beach in one direction and Blackies for great coffee, in the other. Hayley was quick to respond to our communication and resolve a confusion we had about rubbish collection and recycling..information on the listing was quickly updated. A great place to stay..highly recommend
