We really just chilled out, the stairs Neely killed me on the walk up as I’m older so the golf buggy would have been handy. But all up the house was spacious, clean,well stocked and views to mesmerise you. Cheers, Greg.
The deck and view were the stars of our trip. Beautiful view, homey vibe (didn't feel like a thrown together holiday house). Super comfy couch and king bed. Well stocked pantry/kitchen and bathroom. Overall the house was spectacular and we had the best stay.Notes: If you're not getting the linen package, remember to bring bath mats and hand towels. The washing machine takes laundry liquid, not powder.Air con was upstairs only (master bedroom and loungeroom). Bedroom a/c worked perfectly but loungeroom one kept cutting out and needed to be reset at the outdoor switch to get it working again. Not a huge problem, just a bit inconvenient.

Lovely house, great views of the wreck. The killer is the 278 steps up to the property if walking, doing this several times a day is a challenge. House day air con and was one of the main reasons we booked it, however it’s one unit in the main bedroom, this was disappointing. All the gear to use was fantastic and we made us of the snorkelling kit.
The house is fantastic, it has 2 completely separate living, kitchen, bedroom and bathroomson 2 separate levels.It would be perfect for 2 families travelling together.There are 307 stairs to get to the resort area but the beauty of this is that it makes the homes so so quiet. The views were stunning the bed we used was comfortable, we bought our own linen and didn't take up the linnen hire and that was fine. Dealing with Paula I found so easy and she was quick to respond when I had questions or queries. There is plenty of kitchen items for use and the 2 fridges were a great size. We visit for 15 days every 2 years and normally book villas. So we bring a majority of our food and alcohol so fridge space is important. The only down side is the steps but that is nothing really to do with the house, we tried to rent a buggy from tangalooma resort but they didn't have any available, but we were able to book taxis to the house and after hours for when we chose to dine at the resort so there are ways around the stairs. I would recommend this accommodation and I already have to interstate family and friends..The only improvement i could suggest would be that you are able to hire their personal buggy like the house next door does but i can also see why this is not an option.
