We had a great stay. Absolutely perfect for large groups and families. Excellent location and great leisure amenities with pool and downstairs areas. As previous guests have noted, the interior is quite tired and in need of a cosmetic refresh. This would make it 5 stars without question.

We had such a brilliant time during our stay. The house is located close to many amenities. Having our own private walkway to the beach with the use of our own kayaks and paddleboard was awesome. The pool was surrounded by bush which created privacy and also sheltered us from any wind as well. The kids loved having the pool table as well.

Excellent space. All we needed was there. Communication clear from the start. Loved the pool, the crabs, the eeels, the little bridge to the lagoon. The bar, the beds, the furniture and the little cleaner lady was quiet, unobtrusive and very efficient.

Holiday Stay

Amazing house, perfect for a family getaway. We had so much fun with the swimming pool, and using the pool tables and dart board. Easy to get to the beach (very interesting watching all the sand crabs) and food options all in walking distance. The house was clean and the host was very attentive. We really enjoyed ourselves and will definitely stay again.

Family getaway

We had a great time at this property. The swimming pool, pool table and darts was a real hit. Love the bridge over the creek as it was nice to keep an eye out on all the eels and crayfish. Quick walk to the beach with nice snorkelling and easy access to the small Islands. Layout of the house was perfect for 2 families with separation top and bottom.

Perfect private home for the week

This property was perfect for our group of friends, plenty of space to spend time together in any weather. The pool table, dart board and pool were a hit! Having multiple entertainment areas meant we could have some downtime if needed. Great location just a walk away from the markets, tours, restaurants and beach. The private walk to the beach gave us so many opportunities to see all the crabs too! Would definitely book this again and have already recommended to family groups.

A Nice Large Family Home

The location cannot be faulted. The facilities and amenities are comprehensive. The property is very comfortable. It is however showing signs of wear and tear and some renovation and re-decorating will take this from very good to outstanding.

Absolute Bliss

We had a fabulous stay arriving late at night to house ready and waiting with lights on, fans going and clean fresh sheets.all facilities and equipment was as advertised (except the outside TV). A Wifi extension and possibly dishwasher for downstairs would be recommended. We will definitely return with a similar sized group and we were so impressed with the prompt communication with Sisi.The location was very central and close to most attractions and supermarkets/restaurants.Our last recommendation would be that the upstairs was lockable you to secure our belongings as the key didn’t work and we couldn’t even lock it from the inside.
