Had a great stay, lots of room. The games room was great and kept all entertained. Short walk to the shops which was very handy.Only issue was the front door was a bit tricky to open so had to enter through the back door and open from the inside.Overall, everything was perfectThank you
The house was great, it suited our family gathering. We loved the deck and games room. The house was well stocked with crockery, glasses, etc. Location was good, a short walk to the beach and a nice walk into town.
From the moment we first contacted Stayz, Margaret, the host, was helpful in every way. The 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms were great for we 5 adults a 4 young children. Walking distance to the family beach and main shops meant we weren't constantly loading children into cars. The games room, provided activities and books and great back yard gave lots of opportunity for play for the kids....and big kids. We had a fabulous stay
Great house with everything a family could want and nice and clean. We missed out on getting linen some how so I had to clean out my home linen cupboard at the last minute to bring sheets and towels for everyone. We had thought it was provided. Never mind - we had a great time thanks. The playroom was a bonus!
Fabulous house for groups. Everything there you needed. Good layout of bedrooms and bathrooms and back deck fabulous. Host communicated well beforehand. A great stay.
Fabulous house for our family . Close to the beach and shops , secure safe backyard, a really great games room and big outdoor deck . Spacious kitchen and lounge and well equipped bedrooms. Margaret our host was very approachable and friendly
Great home .. excellent location .. very roomy family home .. great communication with hostBathroom door in main bedroom needs fixing as very hard to open and needs force to open. Outdoor bbq very old and dirty did not use at all overall would recommend home.
The property had a huge backyard perfect for our poodle to play around. The only problem was that our poodle being a very small dog managed to escape both Friday and Saturday night. Fortunately someone picked him up on the Saturday night and posted in one of the community pages. On the Sunday night we left him in the games room. Other than that,the house was a beautiful home accommodating us all. We had a great time and definitely would stay again knowing that we’d leave our poodle in the games room when we couldn’t take him with us
Despite a delay to our check in due cleaners being late we had a great time at Penguin on Church. Margaret is a great host, she responded quickly to messages and offered late checkout to compensate for delayed check-in. All facilities were good and location is great. Would stay again.
