Everything we needed for a relaxing beach break
A fantastic location close to beach and shops, the house is a great size and well laid out with all the amenities and welcome we needed to have a relaxing stay. The host information and communication was very clear and helpful. We enjoyed great coffee at the local shops and toured around the local area. The house had plenty of games to entertain the kids and it was dog friendly too which was a big help for our family. Will stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Barry Blight

Host profile image
We have rented the house since 1987 and apart from unfortunate experiences with "Schoolies" and unattached single guys, we haven't had many problems. Since I started applying a $1,000 bond to those two groups, the damage problem has diminished.

Why they chose this property

I bought this holiday house in 1987 for use by my wife and me, our children and grandchildren, and now my great grandchildren also enjoy it. If one has to drive to the beach, finding a parking spot is a major pain in holiday periods, so I only looked at houses within a short walking distance from the beach and shops. This house was just what we were looking for, as it's just seven houses from the bay beach and the Blairgowrie Shopping Centre.
I have progressively upgraded the house, amenities and furniture to make it a more enjoyable experience, with features such as a covered rear patio with gas barbecue, games room [including billiard/table tennis table, board and card games, etc.], en-suite bathroom - and on cold winter nights we can watch TV in the en-suite bedroom while being kept nice and warm by the electric blanket.
As the outdoor patio is covered, it provides relief from both the sun and the rain, allowing the gas barbecue to be used on a wet and rainy day.

What makes this property unique

Dog friendly and secure, the house is at the end of a court, and young children often play in the street as traffic is minimal.
