We loved our stay. The house was very well stocked with everything we needed. The beds were all comfy and each living space was great. We felt really comfortable.
Our family of 11 made wonderful memories together sharing the weekend and celebrating a few important birthdays. The home was beautiful, spacious and very well equipped. Also the pool and close proximity to the beach were very important. Communicating was excellent with our hosts and we felt them to be very interested in us having a wonderful time. Thankyou both.
Perfect - wonderful accommodation and amenities - everything we needed for our stay was well provided for at Eastport. Laura and Helen were super responsive and made sure we had an enjoyable stay. Thank you both!
Loved our stay at Eastport! The house was beautifully modern and well kitted out for a large group. Lots of places inside and out to relax. The plunge pool was great entertainment for the kids and pool towels were a nice touch. Plus, only a short walk to the nearby playground and beach.Our only downside was the lack of bbq for our booking, which we were informed about the night before our Easter weekend booking.
Hi, I'm Laura. I love travelling and exploring new places, from Europe and America to New Zealand and destinations around Australia. I love creating a welcoming space where guests can relax, switch off and enjoy their time away. I look forward to hosting you at Eastport!
