We stayed over a very wet weekend in Rye - torrential downpours at stages. A group of 10 we had plenty of room and opportunities to utilise some of the board games, large living areas and undercover pool table and darts. There was room for one of the guests dogs to roam within the fenced property and plenty of undercover area for them to stay at night.The firepit got a workout (byo wood). There was room in the driveway for multiple cars and the property is very well maintained.Nick maintains the house in fantastic condition with all appliances and cooking needs provided.Thanks for being a great host!

This house is well suited for families as there’s lots to do, close to beach and other sports facilities (skate park, tennis courts etc), while also close to shops and restaurants. There’s also lots to do at the house - pool table, backyard cricket, sand pit for little ones, and Xbox too! Very comfortable and relaxing stay for everyone.
