A great place to stay. Just a few minor issues. Several light bulbs in rooms did not function. Also, we were advised that there would be towels and so we assumed hand towels as well. However that was not the case. Maybe, for the benefit of the customer, advice can be more specific in future.

Great location

Suggest the owner needs to improve/replace the crockery and cutlery, (bits of everything) Include some wine glasses also. The dinning chairs also needs replacing, well worn. Having said all this, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend to friends Thanks

clean, new, spacious home

The house is very clean and spacious with 4 bedrooms two bathrooms. It is a 5 min driving to everywhere on the town as Pt MacDonnell is a small town. Just be mindful that refunding of deposit could take about 5 working days to process by Stayz.

Great house and location

House is clean and kept neat all the way around the property. Also just a few minutes drive to the shops and the property is situated in a convenient location, closed to all local amenities and beaches. The host (Amy) is very quick in replying to your enquiries. I am curious why the kitchen pantry is locked where we could used that space to store our groceries rather than on the floor. Highly recommended for those looking for a quiet and relaxation getaway. Definitely will be back.
