This house is in an awesome location. Quiet end of a street which was great for the kids riding their bike. The beach was a short walk away, so great for when you need to duck back to grab food or go to the toilet. Best of all beach fishing was a huge success, 3 out of the 4 adults fish got a big Australian Salmon each. Loved the access to all the board games and it was such a beautiful backyard. The centre town was just a short drive away which was great for getting good coffee. Awesome stay.

Having hay fever and dust allergies makes me pretty sensitive to places that have plenty of dust. I don't mind vacuuming up the extra dust around, only we had the clear the vaccum up to make it work and the dysons didn't work at all. So the broom had to do. The tap water got too hot too quickly so be careful it burnt. The shower upstairs also didn't drain well so the mat kept needing to be wrung, which made keeping my feet dry difficult. All manageable stuff.

The proximity to the beach, local shops and the roominess of the property are its best features. There is also a well stocked kitchen for cooking and the house has lots of seating. We also enjoyed listening to old records whilst playing scrabble. The gardens were well maintained and lovely.

The black mouldy blinds and other furniture, which is a real shame as the property is a beauty. It was raining on and off so the outside deck got a bit slippery, so something to watch out for. It would have also been great if there was an outdoor sensor light in the driveway, as we arrived late and it was really hard to see/ unpack vehicles without falling into massive puddles. There was no wifi initially and we managed to watch one movie on Netflix before this stopped working. I’d have to say that the staff at Professional properties were incredibly helpful and proactive, and managed to get onto these things promptly which was great to see. Someone really needs to get on top of the building “damp” issues as the property and its location are a real Gem.

Excellent location. The layout of the house enabled social interaction between all guests. The restaurants and cafes close by were excellent.

The modern design, loads of space and that every detail was thought through to make it a welcoming and homely stay. It did not disappoint and we had a memorable stay at Palings.

Culburra is a fairly sleepy town so we needed to drive to larger towns from time to time for activities. Everything was a short distance away though.

Close to beach. Fitted all family
