Had the most amazing holiday here. 3 families, 10 kids in total and each family had our own section of the house and own bathroom. And there was space for a 4th family. Beautiful home, well stocked with laundry and dishwasher stuff and toilet paper, glad wrap etc which is always so handy with big groups. Fire places were brilliant, location was perfect. We just loved every minute. Host was really responsive too and even got a portacot for us to use. You won't be disappointed with this gorgeous home. An easy drive to so many great spots and a quick walk into town for supplies too

This is our second stay for our bi-annual Aunties & Niece's weekend. There was 20 of us, beds for everyone, 4 bathrooms, and plenty of sharing space to gather, great tables for sitting together, and great outdoor spaces too. Also just a hop skip and jump to go for a swim, followed by a warm outdoor shower. Everything you need is catered for, hard to beat.

The Bach is super luxurious and spacious and in a greatlocation. It is so close to the estuary, shops and a short drive to the main beach. It located in a very nice and quiet street. And the host is very easy to communicate, and replying very quickly to any questions. We had such a wonderful time. Thanks Yasmin 😊

We had a fabulous time, great location, so close to the beach/estuary or a short drive to the ocean beach. Ideal size and space for us all. There were 19 of us, 9 adults and 10 children aged from 13 years to 1 year old. They loved the swings and trampoline, couldn't find some of the toys mentioned, or the highchair. Loved the fabulous extra large outdoor table which was used for most meals.

There were 14 of us aged from 11montgs to70! We stayed for 5 nights & had a wonderful time enjoying the privacy with so many bedrooms & the great seating areas. We loved sitting around the fire for evening drinks & after dinner fun. We ate all our meals at home as much easier & enjoyed the oven etc Thank you so much for a fabulous holiday The location was great, close to the estuary & beach for swimming, & paddle boarding. A great holiday thank you…

We loved our stay at this house - it was perfect size for 3 couples and 8 kids. Kids loved all the different bedrooms and bunk arrangements and gave the adults lots of options of where to best sleep - beside the kids or the opposite end of the house! The large kitchen living area was great for so many of us and we never felt we were on top of each other. Unfortunately the kitchen lacked a microwave and decent can opener. Sadly the fire wasn't working which was one of the places best features and we were really looking forward to sitting outside in the evenings but I was notified it was broken a few days before our arrival. The yard was perfect for some outside cricket and soccer and the swings were a mega hit. Loved the location right by the estuary with easy walks and swims. We couldn't find any of the kids games/toys that was mentioned in the house write up which was a shame as I didn't bring many games because of this. There were also hardly any power plugs in the rooms and none in bathrooms. But overall this house was a perfect set up and size for this large group. The host was very responsive to all messages and in a timely manner. Thanks very much, we will be back!

It was perfect for our 52nd Wedding Anniversary celebration with all our family (5 children and partners, and 11 grandchildren). Great “super bach” which was superbly equipped for cooking, sleeping and enjoying our family, and great access to the very safe beach. It is the second time we have stayed there and we recommend it without reservation. We hope to return in 2 years time.

We have used this superb property twice now over the Christmas period. It's absolutely perfect in so many ways. We are a family of 20, ranging from 1 to 86. Bedrooms with air con, ample bathrooms, fabulous outdoor area, location and parking, good kitchen - although lacking some basic utensils and microwave. Highly recommend this property.

A really good location with plenty of space for various activities. The covered outdoor space was very useful. The fold out bed was not as comfortable as the other beds. We were surprised there was no microwave in the kiychen.

Nice place to stay, well set up with most of the essentials . Some of the things missing was a microwave, a lack of toilet paper ( 3x rolls only available for 21 people)Firewood needed restocking BBQ was very dirty had to be cleaned prior to use, there was nowhere to put soap shampoo in showers except in floor. Apart from these small thing which could be easily rectified this was a very functional space for a large number of people.

Communication with property manager was excellent, we had a few minor problems on arrival which were sorted out swiftly. House was well equipped and a pleasure to stay in. The location is fantastic. We had our Christmas Day at the property and it worked well for all 17 of us, plus parking for 2 boats, 1 campervan and 5 cars. I highly recommend this property.
