Very family friendly property and plenty of space for the kids and dog to run around. Michael's communication was great. The location is close to the town centre, boat ramp and Doyle's Beach, which was a highlight. The property was spacious, clean and comfortable and we very much enjoyed our stay!
We had a good week in this house. It was comfortable, clean and practical. The front room was especially useful as an additional living space able to be closed off. We used the fire and also aircon both of which were effective in the changing weather conditions. Comfortable beds, basic bathroom.
Thanks Michael, we had a great pre-Chrissy family break, including fur baby. Nice to get away and chill after such a full-on year post pandemic. House was very comfortable and clean, everything we needed, close to beaches and fishing spots, kids loved having their own space to relax, without the olds. Fire pit was a bonus and great large, fenced backyard! We will be back.
