What an amazing holiday home

Thanks for allowing us to stay again. We love this cosy shack. The best thing about it has to be the views and short walk to estuary and the boat ramp. 1 week down here feels like a month. Lovely quiet , friendly neighbourhood. We'll be back again.

Quick getaway

Beautiful and quiet location. Amazing veiws of the estuary from the balcony. House was very clean and would be great for a family with 4 single beds downstairs and master bedroom upstairs. My partner and I wished we could have stayed for longer.

This place is great, unfortunately while we were there there was a heatwave which is not ideal when there is no aircon! Other than that, the stay was perfect!

Great location

This house is in a fantastic location with great views from all the rooms. It is in walking distance to all that children would want to do and has great paths for cycling and walking - flat and scenic. Would recommend this property.

Wonderful house and location, but linen and old pillows were disgusting, we had to leave a day early

The linen and old pillows are disgusting to the point of leaving a day early due to my spouses health concerns due to constant coughing and wheezing with old pillows, update the linen NOW

Response from VrboOwner on 18 Apr 2021
Thanks for your review Mark and I am sorry that the pillows and linen were not up to your expectations. This is not an issue that has been raised before , we always ensure that the house is thoroughly cleaned and linen is washed and fresh for new guest arrivals. However following your comments we will ensure that any linen and pillows that need changed are updated with new ones
