The ground floor contains two bedrooms (with TV in one of them), and a bathroom (with shower over bath & toilet), and internal access to the garage. The European laundry is in the hallway.

Outdoor Areas

The home has both a balcony on the first floor as well as an enclosed rear courtyard. There is room for two cars in the double lock-up garage.

By default, a booking at this home does not include optional linen (top & bottom sheets, bath towels and pillowcases). What is included are doonas (quilts) with covers, pillows without covers, tea towels, hand towels and bathmats. If you would like the optional linen included in your booking, please let us know, including which beds you would like it provided for.

Nice Stay

Excellent location, short walking distance to the beach and the main street. Kids loved the pool and spent most of their time there, although it could get quite crowded at times with all the other guests. House was overall comfortable and quite lovely, however cleanliness could have been better. In particular the couches were quite frankly disgusting, they had stains all over them and a large amount of dust and crumbs in between the seats. Bring your own pillows as the ones provided are very flat.

Liked: Cleanliness

Will be talked about for all the wrong reasons!!

Couldn’t check in until 3 hrs after check in time because cleaners hadn’t cleaned aft previous tenants. Garage door was broken. Sign on balcony door said we couldn’t use balcony. Within 2 hours the fridge started tripping all power. We had 7 ppl living out of 2 small eskies as we were without a fridge for 3 days. Property Mgr (Bernadette) was responsive but it will go down as one of those holidays we talk about for all the wrong reasons.
