Good spot for a quick stay with all the children. Children enjoyed collecting firewood on our adventures locally so that we could enjoy the warmth of the woodstove. It was bitterly cold the week we stayed and we piled every available blankets on our beds. Location next to the creek is great for some properly holiday play getting wet and muddy in nature

Some elements of our 5nt stay were great, for instance the location and the super hot fire (we stayed in early Dec when the weather was rainy and 15deg!), however I cannot understand how you are charged so much for a run down, severely outdated, op-shop smelling, hazard-full knock down rebuild worthy house with a worse, boarded up one next door. There was no view out the back - it was just a regular backyard!? There was no wifi, we could barely get reception in most rooms. Even the oven didn’t work. I disclosed to the owners we had a senior dog (which was why we chose this house as it was only one of two available at that time that would accommodate animals) - the first thing he did was fall down the stairs to the split level kitchen so a heads up would’ve been nice. The back gate was also wide open when we arrived so luckily my daughter saw and secured it before he escaped. The hazards were everywhere - missing floorboard under the carpet in one of the bedrooms so my other daughter jarred her ankle, duct tape on an outside electrical cord hanging right outside the lounge room window, an unexpected step down into the main bedroom complete with bugs (cockroaches?), shower in the bath with a very awkward step in/out. I awoke with such a sore back after the first night in the main bed, we all had to play musical beds and/or sleep with your head at the foot of the bed to share around the uncomfortableness. So sorry, but how this place gets 5/5 ratings from most reviewers is just beyond me!? I booked this place based on the reviews and I just feel so hoodwinked. Maybe the reviews are fake?? I don’t know. One things for sure, I will certainly do more checks next time I book a place.

The house was very clean, has all the basics necessities. The best part is sitting out on the deck at the back with the view of the reserve. Secure yard for dogs and only 10 mins walk to beach.

Great place to stay, secure backyard for the fur babies that backs up to a park. Wood fire kept everything nice and cozy.
4.0
Good house. Simple beach bungalow. Great to be able to bring the dogs away with us. The only tricky thing is if it is wet as the back yard is not paved. Tricky with wet and a little dirty paws. Plenty of room for us though. Quiet location

Excellent location & great for pets
Location was perfect for walking to the beach and or a little Forrest walk. Bed was comfortable and big and shower was good although in a bath (large step in and out). Wood fire gives off plenty of heat which was great. Back yard is quite big and great for dogs as it is fenced and lots of grass. House is dated and had connection issues (3G) and tv reception is a bit dodgy. Kitchen is downstairs and very dated but was ok for us since we only had toast and coffee at the house. If you have a dog it’s great. If you have mobility issues it’s not overly great due to shower in bath, tricky stairs to kitchen and a step down in main bedroom. All in all I’d recommend this house due to location and great yard and was comfortable enough for our stay.

The house is old but very clean. It was very cold in July and there is not enough heating to keep you warm, especially in kitchen and bathroom. A summer stay is more advisable

Wonderful tranquil getaway
Enjoyed our long weekend stay. Our Dog really enjoyed the beach and we had a lovely quiet Saturday afternoon in the winter sun on the back deck. Slow Combustion heater made this a perfect winter getaway spot for our grown up family.
