Great family house

This is a great place to stay for a family. You won’t want to leave the house! Everything you could need! Only drawback is majority of the board games were missing parts so unable to play.

Unforgettable

This property is truly awesome! Even better than the pictures! Took me right back to the 80s with the pinballs, 100s of board games and gaming consoles. Property is well kept and very clean. Host is accomodating and quick to respond. We felt extremely safe is this property with our vehicles locked behind a security gate. Most shopping centres and attractions within 20min drive and conveniently located between KFC and IGA one way and Coles and McDonalds the other. And don’t bring your pillows they have an awesome range there for your use. I did not find one flaw with this accomodation, in fact we are rebooking for our next vacation.

The kids had a wonderful time in the pool. The pool fence was a little concerning as one post had rusted off at ground level & the pool gate would sometimes be difficult to open. Although we were there primarily for the pinball machines, the yard could do with a good clean up & tree trimming for when the children wanted to play. There is a cubby house but it looked a little unsafe. Our host was very helpful as we messaged to let them know a door was not working, & they offered to come over& inspect. We told them not to worry as we could use the other entrance.
