Great place for our weekend away group of 6. Plenty of room to spread out, a wonderfully well equipped kitchen, fabulous verandah for outdoor dining and chatting, exceptionally clean and well maintained house. Comfy beds, easy parking and even a library. It was a pleasure to stay here and made even easier by the professional booking and check in processes. Thank you , we will definitely be back.

Great stay

The property is well managed. Very friendly property managers and easy location to drop off and pick up the keys. The split level and balcony makes it very easy to create separate areas under the one roof. Having the playground just across the road was excellent.

Short weekend away

This house is on a lovely location. However, the front door is fiddly to open, the toilets leak water, the lights flicker, the stove takes forever to heat up and the electric fuse jumps a few times. The description is a bit misleading because the linen is included in the additional charge but not the nightly charge. The wifi is very slow of you have a large family. The weather was lovely hence we were able to overlook these issues to explore the area.

Hi Anonymous, Thank you for your review. I am sorry to hear your stay at this property wasn’t as wonderful as we hoped. I have just recently gone to the property to check these issues and I couldn’t see any problems with the door, stove, lights or toilet. With regards to the linen it is included in your stay. This does show as additional charge on your invoice as it is paid to a third party company but it was quoted in your booking, it isn’t an additional cost that has been added on. If you could please contact us with regards to these issues, So we can make sure these things are addressed. I would agree this property is in a great location and I am pleased you did enjoy your stay overall. Kind Regards Joanne

I think you had a very unreasonable neighbour, he got nothing to do kept on bucking on your guess, Its a pretty holiday house and enjoy but too much of unreasonable complain, plus the Agent people seem to go along with that funny neighbour.

Perfect house. Quality fittings and linen. Had plenty of crockery and cutlery. Tastefully decorated. Amazing location. The two suggestions we have are an earlier check in (at least by 2 pm) and installing air conditioning.

Great place for a family group

Had a relaxing weekend with a group of friends and kids - 4 families. We all fit in very easily, enough beds and bathrooms to have no arguments (even with the teens). The house is well stocked and kitted out with all that you’d need. There are also many spaces to relax, play board games, sit on the balcony and watch the world go by, or even kick a ball around in the garden. Killcare shops and cafes and the local RSL are a short drive away, or a 30 minute walk. Would recommend for anyone wanting a break from the hustle and bustle.

Lovely house!

We stayed here early Feb 2019 and it was just devine! Initially i was a little concerned at the lack of aircon but the sea breeze and fans make the house very comfortable. Exceptionally well appointed main kitchen upstairs with a small stock of the basics, such as oil, salt pepper, etc. Second kitchen downstairs is very handy, especially for larger groups. Very comfortable beds in good sized rooms. Loved the air hockey in the downstairs room!! While it is on the main road, there is little traffic and the noise is limited. It was fabulous to just pop across to the end of the jetty for a refreshing dip. We will definitely book again.
