House was great, pool and waterslide were a big hit with the kids. Balcony has a beautiful outlook and very well appointed with bbq etc. There was a fairly serious fly issue but I think that’s a result of the region , there wasn’t anything further the owners could do abouit that . There were fly screens everywhere and fly repellent. Overall I would definitely recommend for a family or anyone travelling with kids. Thanks Tim!

Thanks so much, Sarah. Really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. We’re glad the kids enjoyed the pool and waterslide, and that you made the most of the balcony and BBQ area. It’s great to hear the home worked well for your stay overall. We also appreciate your understanding around the fly situation. Being in the region, it can definitely vary seasonally, but we’ve made sure to put measures in place to help as much as possible. Thanks again for the recommendation, you’re welcome back anytime.

The host went out of his way to be helpful.Some of the amenities are in need of little care.The inside of this home is amazing however the very slippery tiles around the pool when wet and in the shower plus the very steep steps make this beautiful home not suitable for older people or young children.

We also appreciate you pointing out the areas that may need some attention. Just to clarify, the property includes features such as stairs and tiled areas around the pool, which can become slippery when wet.

Thank you again for your feedback, and we’d be happy to host you again in the future. Kind regards, Tim & Andrea

What a gorgeous property! I stayed with my Book Club group, 8 of us.We all thought the house was perfect, especially the outdoor dining area looking over sensational views of Lake Illawarra. We spent a lot of time out there.The beds were really comfortable and the house well stocked.There were fabulous walking paths around the lake, which we took advantage of each morning.It's the perfect house for a big group.

Hi Bree. Thanks for the great review. Again I am sorry for the gym mixup. As we discussed I didnt know how the listing was stating we had a gym as we never have. I have since learnt and removed that from the listing. I hope to see you again in the future.
