Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in this lovely home. The home was clean, very conveniently located and above our expectations. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable facilities and a lovely yard. The ping pong table was also a hit with the kids. We will certainly be back, we had a fabulous time. Cheers, The Vine Family.

Great Location but in desperate need of a proper clean.
Needs a proper clean, I get the feeling cleaners are only paid to do a quick rough clean.
While we appreciate we needed to bring linen, which was absolutely fine, didn't think we'd need to bring a cloth to be able to wipe down benches and wash up.
We had adult children and their partners for a weekend stay in beautiful Fingal Bay. Having a big home was great , everyone had their own bedroom, and an extra rumpus downstairs. The beds were comfortable, byo linen.
It was cheaper than other properties because it is an older home but it had everything for cooking in the kitchen, and 2 bathrooms, even a laundry. They are renovating the property so get in quickly for a cheaper stay that is comfortable, in a beautiful area, where you can enjoy family time together. I'd bring cooking basics like oil,salt, as these are not provided.

Seeing that you had a 5-star experience is the best thing we could hope for. Your review means a lot to us, Wendy. We love to have you back!
During our vacation in this house it was an awesome and fun time. Everything in the house was amazing and convenient for everyone, overall the experience was great. However, we have an incident where we accidentally took some of the bowl at the house because we thought it belonged to one of our friends and we did not realised until we have arrived at home. We are sincerely sorry about this incident and we would like to know if there is anything we can do to help.
Thank you

It has been a pleasure hosting you! We will make sure to share your feedback with the appropriate team. We look forward to your next visit!
The property was reasonably clean however the side gate had no lock and a gap underneath which made it unsafe for our small dog so we had to find ways of blocking it. The garage lights did not work so we had to call for them to be fixed, the table tennis bats were all broken ,the front steps are not of an even height which could be dangerous. On a positive note the property had a good number of living areas as well as a well kept kitchen the property is close to everything. the main bathroom was very big and also had a tab which was very useful. It would have been great if the property had an outdoor are with cover as well as a BBQ.

Hi John,
Thank you for choosing to stay with us and for giving us a good star rating. We value your feedback to improve satisfaction. We have shared your review with the appropriate team for awareness. We hope to welcome you back at another time.
Everything was lovely except I think the vacuuming didn't get done because there was a lot of dog hair in all the corners of the house. Other than that it was a lovely place to stay.
This house was beautifully positioned, and good size yard for a pets.The rooms were spacious but a little hot in the warmer weather. Front room was very bright at 6.30 in the morning even with blockout down so no sleeping in.Needs pest control to get rid of all the little spiders in most of the rooms. Apart from those small thing really enjoyed staying there.

The house met our needs for a gorup of adults scuba diving. Plenty of room for peple to spread out, hang out div ger in the garage and parkingI would have liked the option of more single bedsWe did have a hot water issue when we first arrived but the agent fixed it very quickly. I was happy with the serviceThe ouytdoor BBQ area could do with some attention. Not much seating there nd not ovelry pleasant area. We cooked and brought hte food back upstairs to eat. At previous rentals it was nice to all sit aorund and cook, chat and eat together

Very average, lots cockroaches & spiders, we had to buy Mortein & spray the whole property. For the amount of money we spent we would have expected much better.

Great house in a great quiet location. Easy walk to the beach and walking tracks. Plenty of room in the house and the table tennis and other games were fun.House was fairly clean except for a yucky stain on one of the mattress protectors. The movie channel on foxtel would have been nice. Property management was great.
