A fantastic place to stay! A group of friends stayed here for a weekend and we were all very impressed with the property. Clean, spacious and well stocked. There are plenty of games for both kids and adults, basic pantry needs, handy kitchen utensils that you always forget to pack and most importantly comfy beds! Great location. The bottle of wine on arrival is a nice personal touch too. Highly recommend!

The property was clean, well equipped and is in a great location.(Even fresh flowers to welcome us.) We had a great holiday with the children & grandchildren. It is close to a playground, dog park and the esplanade. Easy walk to the reef for the little ones for crab hunting. Then perfect to be able to drive onto the beach with all the swimming gear.

Fantastic Accommodation - close to beach, everything was thought of!

Wonderful accommodation, everything was thought of - a pantry with staples (and more) ice cubes ready to use, hand towels ( always forget to bring those) bath mats for getting out the shower, even a drinking bowl for our dog. Secure enclosed yard. Very easy access, close to beach, comfortable beds, plenty ceiling fans and cool air-conditioning - would thoroughly recommend staying at this comfortable holiday house.
