As we have small children in our extended family it was great to be able to have a big enclosed yard and also the reserve just out the front. Views from the balcony were great and we enjoyed the wood fire in the evenings.
Kitchen was well stocked with appliances.
This house suited our family perfectly and we hope to be back!

We stayed here for a weekend at the end of May, such a beautiful house with all necessities included for a large family gathering. Great location too! I must say, initially we were a little worried when we checked in as we weren’t aware that the house didn’t have ducted heating and the weekend was meant to be cold & rainy. But the two split systems warmed the house up very nicely. Extra blankets for the bed/s are all that is required for a cold wintery night. But we were equipped, so no complaints from us whatsoever. We will definitely be back!

We loved staying in this beautiful home for 2 nights. Tons of room for 7 ladies enjoying a running retreat. We went for runs/walks on the beach each day (just a 10 minute walk away through), enjoyed drinks on the patio to watch the sunset, drove up the road to the Forktree for dinner - delicious and great view. The hosts were easy to contact with questions and gave good recommendations. I'd highly recommend this place.
