From the minute you drive to the location till the time u leave it was worth it all !
The property and the attention to detail inside the property was on point! The owner made you feel like you are at home!
From the range of reading books to the board games she has! And the DVD player which I hadn’t seen in a long time lol ! This made my kids intrigued as to what it was lol
And having my family with me nobody felt uncomfortable everyone had a space to chill and something to do! My 11 year old son even wanted to cook for us! Which is something he doesn’t usually do!
Overall this place was definitely a dream and you definitely felt like you had the beach vibe happening! And the best part it was only say a less then 5 minute walk to the beach and to the local shops! It’s definitely a place me and my family would love to stay again at! Thank you for listing this property!

This house was perfect for our week away with two small kids (9 months and 3). The kitchen was one of the best equipped we have ever seen in a holiday rental.
Sandra was a great host and even sent some little shoes home that were found after we left!

We have stayed at many stayz’s places and this deserves a award for the best. This place had everything you could think off. The master Chef kitchen has every appliance you could ever need. Sandra is a super Host that’s for sure. She has thought of everything. Do yourself a favour and stay at this beautiful place. Sandra was very efficient with replying and helping with any concerns straight away. Luxurious towels, toiletries, Nespresso machine,, plus everything for the kids.
DVDs, games, plastic plates and cups m welcome wine.
Plus having a early check in and late check out made it so much easier with the young children.

It was a pleasure to experience this holiday home. With an open floor plan you can stay close to everyone in the house and views do not dissapoint. We cooked every meal in house as cooking on the inside teppanyaki was a blast. We would love to return to this property one day

Shoal Bay Relaxation
Sandra's home at Shoal Bay was one of the best places we have ever stayed in. The location is perfect - elevated with district views and a 5 minute walk to the beach and town. The home has everything you would need and more - the kitchen has every utensil and appliance needed and more. We loved using the teppanyaki plate - made cooking dinner easy and entertaining. All the bedrooms are bright and airy and the bathrooms are modern and clean. I would not hesitate to recommend staying at Lazy Dayz - the house is perfect and Shoal Bay has so many activities for every age group. Would come back in a heartbeat!!

Great holiday house!!
We loved our stay at Lazy Dayz holiday house, this feels like a proper beach holiday house, the verandahs, glass doors and trees give it a nice bright leafy feel, the main bedroom is generous in size, all beds are super comfy and we loved cooking our breakfast on the teppanyaki hot plate. The location in Shoal Bay is spot on close to the bay and country club. Sandra the host is a lovely lady who we hardly seen. Would definitely stay there again.

Weekend family getaway to celebrate a family member's birthday
The house was exceptionally clean, beautifully furnished and had everything that was needed to ensure our stay was enjoyed to the fullest. The owner was in contact with us beforehand to give full and clear instructions as to access to the property, check in times, check out times etc and made herself available to help us if we needed (although this was not necessary!). She was also able to recommend restaurants and cafes to us. We would totally recommend this property with its ideal quiet location 10 minutes walk to beach and cafes, bars and restaurants

Great weekend - 2 young families
Immaculate. Plenty of space. Super comfortable. Very relaxing. Excellent position in the area. Rained for our stay and it was easy to stay in and put our feet up - a home away from home. Plan on staying again in warmer weather to explore the area some more. Sandra is easy and wonderful to communicate with.

Fully equipped house in great location
We really enjoyed our stay at Lazy Dayz where everything you could need was considered and provided. Sandra was a great host, very accommodating and flexible when she could be. We stayed with our two small kids and she even has toys, kids DVDs and a high chair to use. The property was well maintained and in a peaceful location with a lovely outlook. We had a wonderful stay.

What a fantastic house! The owners have created the perfect environment for relaxation, allowing plenty of places to take some quiet time out and hide. The house is well equipped and the beautiful decor immediately puts you at ease. It is well located as well with only a short walk to the beach. We will definitely stay again, hopefully soon. I can thoroughly recommend this property.

We stayed at Lazy Dayz, with another family of four. Our party comprised of four adults and four children aged 4-6. We found the house relaxing and very homely. The downstairs play area/come extra living/sleeping area was an added bonus because it provided some time away from the kids but within air shot. We'll definitely be back

We so loved staying in this gorgeous house, it is truely breathtaking and so very well set up for your enjoyment. Everything is of high quality and spotlessly clean. We stayed as a family of four with the two sets of grandparents, everyone had room for themselves and so much space for sharing special time together. The kids loved the play room downstairs and the vegetable garden where they happily munched on the peas. We would love to spend more time here. Walking distance to village and beautiful beaches. Excellent value. Thankyou Sandra for sharing it with us!
