We had a lovely 5-night stay at this property. As it was just the two of us and our two dogs, the space was more than adequate. We closed off all of the rooms we didn't use and didn't enter the downstairs studio (it looks nice!) for ease of cleaning. The whole place is very nicely set up and cosy. We appreciated little touches like teabags, coffee pods, and a milk frother, as well as guest accounts for Netflix and Amazon streaming services, especially the one day that didn't stop raining! Communication with Marcus was straightforward and easy. If you stay here, do check out Smokey Dan's next to the IGA–great smoked brisket, ribs, fish fingers, and amazing chips!

Though there were aspects of the property we enjoyed we felt the yard was not 100% dog friendly due to the amount of vegetation and hazards leading to the exposed area under the house. The Dog ramp definitely needs to be replaced with an appropriate safe alternative. Curtains definitely need replacing as there was mildew on them in one of the bedrooms and others were not so clean. The outside furniture is old and tired showing significant signs of ageing and damage. Overall, the house needs a good freshen up. View is very nice.

Everything we needed was there, with decent quality equipment. Host very responsive. Within easy driving distance of many fabulous locations…

What a wonderful holiday we’ve had at Marcus’s lovely house. A family of 5, with 2 dogs, and we never felt on top of each other. I highly recommend!

Great place to stay for a family group. Lovely view, convenient position. Only issue was perhaps the blinds in bedrooms not blocking out the light very well. Very obliging host who permitted a change of date promptly and easily.

Comfortable, clean, relaxing, had all we needed. Great location close to everything but quiet, and lovely view.

Was a wonderful place with its own self contained private studio just minutes away from Tomakin beach . Although the home was not the largest in size, the perks of this cosy stay meant the family was always drawn close together for quality time. Lovely views with adequate air-conditioning provided made it a relaxing stay . The front of the house included a nice outdoor sitting/ entertainment area where you can also have meals and enjoy the sea breeze. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed as well! Some minor issues / feedback to consider is we could not lock the studio from inside which meant anyone could walk into the property and open it , but I believe the owner is working on this. It is to be noted the owner provided an external padlock from outside during our stay but this meant the occupants of studio had to be locked in at night then let open in the morning which is not convenient. The bathroom windows also had no flyscreens provided and due to many insects around summer it is not advised to keep it open, but I'm sure the owner is working on some sort of solution for this. The external bins were full and this was extremely frustrating but this was not the owners fault as the previous vacationers did not put the bins out for collection. The small gas hot plate provided in the external entertainment area had the non stick surface peeling off and had to be covered with foil for cooking. The above were just minor inconveniences that can easily be rectified for future guests , however, the overall experience was full of fun with the family and friends !! The owner, Marcus, was also a pleasure to deal with and very prompt with any queries we had before and after the stay .

We had a great stay at Tomakin and enjoyed the local beaches and fishing. The house was well appointed for our group of seven and there was plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen had everything we needed and we cooked all our meals. Would recommend to anyone looking for a family beach holiday, and a bonus we could bring our dogs who enjoyed runs on the beach each day! Thanks Marcus we had a great stay.
