Comfortable location for a family holiday

This property is very close to beaches and the penguin sanctuary. The penguin tour was a real highlight - inexpensive and allows you to get very close to wild penguins. (Suggestion to take an extra layer than you think you will need.). The beaches also beautiful and good for swimming , although you need to be fine with coolish water. Thanks for a great stay.

Beach getaway with grand kids

Excellent beach holiday home, family friendly easy walking distance to the beach. Great being able to use the games, beach towels, beach equipment. Easy to use kitchen ample supplies (oil, glad wrap, dishing washing equipment and toilet paper.). I had brought my own supplies and didn't need them. Comfy lounge suit. Only negative was that I was cold at night as I can't sleep with the electric blanket on and doona not warm enough. Easy fix will be to bring my own next stay. Kids were happy and said it was the best holiday for a long while

Lovely stay

Great position and comfortable accommodation. Excellent wifi and TV access. Check in and access rather confusing. Check in and door code - we never worked out what gives. Initially thought we were not going to get in. Got the key from the lock box & tried the key at the back door, which would have worked if the other key wasn't in the lock! Eventually got in but were never sure if we'd get in the next time. Otherwise all good - Thank you.

Our Tassie get away.

I liked that there was a bedroom on the ground floor. The bedrooms were all a good size. Nice kitchen with everything there. Lounge was nice with the fire going. The only thing for me being a grandma I found the couches not to my liking as I am short, would of loved a comfy chair. But over all it was a great place to stay. One thing upset me, my grandson broke something and we told the owner and they wanted to charge more than the thing was worth, we were honest about it, did not try and hide it, that upset me. i understand it had to be payed for but no more than what it cost. Thank you again for a nice place to stay. Johanna from Adelaide

Quaint, Cosy, coastal retreat

The outside had a French vibe and was very private. Stepping inside you notice how well presented, quiet and surprisingly larger than initially looks. The bikes and kayaks are a wonderful addition as is the second bathroom and extra toilet. A short walk over the road and down the board walk and your feet hit the sand of Lagoon Beach. Thankyou to Carolyn for been so accomodating. We will be back.

it's a lovely property and loads of attention to detail to make your stay really enjoyable. I would probably not suggest the upstairs bedrooms in the property as ideal for elderly as spiral staircase is a challenge. lovely bedroom downstairs though.
