It’s a beautiful property with 4 good sized bedrooms and a set of 2 bunk beds & a trundle bed for kids in the 5th bedroom downstairs.The property was neat and clean. Kitchen had ample cutlery and
We were very impressed with the house, we had a large group and the house facilitated us all very comfortably. A large upstairs area and upstairs veranda. Also nice for some backyard cricket. Very impressed, could not recommend more.
This is a great property for 3 families with children to stay. There are 2 bunk rooms downstairs with a lounge area for teenagers and a large living space upstairs, including a large, covered balcony. It was only a 10minute walk to the beach. The only down side was there is a gap between the outside front stairs that one of our dogs managed to get through from the back yard to the front.
