The pool and the pinball games were just so much fun, we cannot wait to visit again. Clean, well equipped home with excellent cooling commensurate to Townsville weather and beautiful, large established trees in the garden. Easy, friendly communication with the host (Jason) - expectations well and truly exceeded. One of our all time favourites :)

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.

Six of us stayed here and everything was great.Beds, linen and pillows very good.More different monopoly games than you can poke a stick at. Good screens and speakers.Great range of pinball machines and a coffee table gaming machine with Frogger, space invaders, galaxies, donkey Kong and countless more. Two player available.Despite being on a main road it is quiet inside.100% recommend.

Fun, fun, fun

Obviously pinball machines were a massive hit....bringing out our inner child! So many board and card games that couldnt possibly get to play....needed another week. Very comfortable with lots of special extras. Lovely pool and area. Special access to enter house made it so easy....not worried about everyone having a key. Great communication with host prior to and during stay. Highly recommended!

An added BJ table for our casino friends....sorry, this doesn't come with the house!

Great hidden gem!

Excellent communication from hosts, they have clearly put a lot of thought and effort into creating a versatile space that is something very different and unique and caters to a wide range of dynamics! Excellent for children and adults alike with the pool, playground, games, pinball machines and football table; highly recommend!
