Lovely stay

Lovely big house. Plenty of beds to fit a large extended family. Only issue was the shower heads in all 3 showers kept falling out of the holders/ wouldnt stay up. House was lovely and clean.

Not as advised

House only had 4 bedrooms, the 5th room/3rd bathrooms was a outer room that was locked so we could not access it. No one got back to us on the after hours number. 2nd bath was outside, u have to talk through wet grass to get to. Dishes had to be washed before beging use. Shower head with broken. Toilet bush holder dirty.

A Family Weekend Away

Beach Nest on Coral in so many ways met our needs. A convenient location, so that we didn't use the car during our stay, enough comfy beds (although as our family adults are tall, double beds remind us why we like our queen beds). A pity that there were relatively small, but irritating, things that would have helped: If you send an sms to say that an email will come with details of check in, whether keys need to be collected or a code sent, please send it! the staff at East Coast weren't surprised that the email wasn't sent. Only 6 glasses in a house which sleeps 14? we seriously considered going to Vinnies and donating more. (and only 3 coathangers in total, but that wasn't so annoying). Please put some glasses, mugs, etc in the cabin, which does, after all, have a kitchenette and jug. we obviously should have checked this before retiring for the night - and looking for something to drink from - wanting a glass of water, a cup/mug of early morning tea. We stay in cottages and apartments all over Australia, and these days expect to find tea, coffee, even some biscuits and milk, and at times more than this, always welcome after a long trip. There was a jar of coffee, we used some and left the remainder for the next guest. the outside sensor light is quite sensitive, the switch taped over, and having this bright light shine into the room on and off all night didn't help give a good night's sleep.

Be prepared to deal with real state who are unprofessional, rude and completely mess with who, when and where! In the house you will find to burned fry pans, horribly squeaking beds in granny's flat ,not working iron and no sight of hair fan! Very " helpful" when you come to attend big event And ...Christmas tree in April! At least now we know what NOT to book at the Entrance !
