Me and few friends stayed here for a weekend. I was gorgeous so many incredible photo opportunities. About a 3 min drive to Main Street. Everything is perfectly clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend for a getaway with big families or friends.

Lovely house in a great location. Works well for 2 families. Loved the large deck and even spotted a koala in neighbouring tree. Only fault was we ran out of gas for BBQ and spare gas bottle also empty. Otherwise house was very well equipped , clean and comfortable.

Beautiful spacious house, catering for the whole family (plenty of entertainment for the kids), some beach equipment provided, and a large front yard. Enjoyed our morning nespresso coffees looking out at the ocean. We even had a friendly kookaburra and king parrot visit. Short 10min walk to the shops (but steep hill, so admittedly drove a few times). Quick and easy communication with the owner, who even adjusted our bedding requirements 2 days before check in. We will definitely come back here. Absolutely fell in love with this home!

The check-in process was not smooth. I read reviews from others before I made the booking but didn’t understand it back then, now I know why. I would like to put in the details here: I asked if an early check-in would be possible when I made the booking, 3pm is quite late. The property manager said she would discuss it with me at a closer date. I contacted her about 10 days before the check-in date, she told me that’s impossible immediately. When I asked about the property address, she said she would send it to me the next day. I waited for one week until 3 days prior to the check in, still didn’t receive anything, then I have to ask again the address and check in details. Finally she sent me the property address, she said she would send me the check in code on Monday in her email. Our check in date was Tuesday. On Monday evening, I asked her about the code for check in, she replied: “I don’t understand why you ask about the code today…it’s not been reset yet blabla…. what do you want more from me?!” I was a bit shocked with her rude attitude, but replied: I asked because you told me you would send it to me on Monday, that’s all. The space looks big because there are mirrors everywhere. The photos you see online make you image it’s big. Most importantly I like to remind others: they have installed cameras, I am not sure where. The check out time is 10pm, I called her at around 9:40am because I couldn’t open the safety box to put in the keys. She answered the phone, the first thing she said was: “someone is washing the car, that is not nice! Stop it!” We stopped, but I am wondering if washing your car is prohibited. I thought it’s like a shower and it’s before the check out time. I am 100% sure that Miss Belinda will deny everything I described above. From other reviewers, this lady is very good at this. Finally, if you dare to charge extra any $ to my credit card simply because I give this review and because you hold my credit card details, I WILL take you to the court.
