Great spot for families

We really enjoyed our stay here - great spot for families as a large house. Loved biking into town along the waterfront. Great having 2 separate living areas.

Massive property and plenty of rooms, however in the middle of winter the bottom rooms are bitterly cold . Other than this the property was ideal for the large group we had there .

Great to hear you enjoyed the property and that it was a good fit for your group! I'll be sure to pass on your note about the bottom rooms being cold. Thanks, Jessie

A quirky house but suited our needs really well (3 families, lots of kids).

A quirky house but suited our needs really well (3 families, lots of kids). Upstairs rooms best for kids as the stairs have very low head-room. Lots of off-street parking - we had 5 cars and 2 boats and all fitted inside the gate. Easy walk to beach and boat ramp. Nice big dining table seats 10+. Thanks very much.
