About this house rental
Bring your camera if you stay here because you'll be the envy of all your friends when they see your holiday snaps relaxing in this magnificent waterfront home.
Beautifully furnished with plenty of room and it's only 2 minutes from Pacific Fair shopping centre, 3 minutes from the Casino and 3 minutes from the beach.
So beautifully designed you'll want to take lots of the features home with you like the incredible walk-in robes or the separate "butler's pantry" if you choose to bring in outside help to entertain. There are lots of other latest design fittings.
5 bedrooms, kids bedroom with a Sony play station, pool table, books, toys, kayak, fishing tackle and more to keep the younger kids busy. Large plasma TV in the lounge as well as a second large TV for the kids.
Enough separate areas for large families or groups to spread out and enjoy conversation while others watch TV or amuse themselves with the play station or challenge each other on the pool table.
Huge glass doors allow the inside to flow outdoors onto the fantastic outdoor entertaining area, all under the main roof and overlooking one of the Coast's most stunning (and very romantic) palm tree lined wide water views. You can fish for your supper off the newly installed pontoon if you like and actually catch something!
This truly is the home-away-from-home you'll never want to leave .

Summary of reviews
The property is perfect for large families, offering plenty of space and great amenities like the pool and location. Guests highly recommend it.
2.0 / 5.0
Property was run down, furniture, bedding was uncomfortable and needed a very good clean.
The couch head rest on the corner unit looked like it was broken and the springs on the single red seat were protruding when you sat on it.
Floors were dirty and needed to have shoes on otherwise feet were Black.
BBQ had rat droppings on the tray, Burners were rusted and took a very long time for the plate to heat up.
Pool Cues only 1 was just okay and the other tips were stuck together with Tape.
Vent in main area hanging from roof, Smoke alarm in the main area not operative, Hot Plates very dirty and unclean.
Although the location was okay and the outlook on the river, I wouldn't recommend this place unless it went through some major renovations and the cleanliness was improved.

It is in good location and easy access to all facilities. The only thing is can not find spare tissues for toilet.

This house was perfect for our large family. Plenty of space for everyone. A little tired in places, the house could do with a bit of a refresh but overall it was fantastic for our needs. The beds in the master and queen room were comfy but our adult children did say the other bedrooms mattresses were a bit thin. We had a great stay and communication with the host was good.

The property is great and a great location. All the guests enjoyed the facilities and the pool!!
The real standout was the property managers Wayne and Rob, from travel issues and lost property they have been nothing but helpful. Exactly what you need when things dont go to plan.
Thanks again

Great place for a couple of families. One Dad is a fisherman so the pontoon was great for the boat. Both adults and kids had a great stay. Also close to shops, beach, cafe and bottle shop. We’d love to return.

The house and the property was in a great location and the amenities were fantastic. However, it was let down with poor cleanliness, dated and uncomfortable linen and bedding, and lack of basic essentials (salt, sugar, toilet paper etc)

We were a group of 10 over two families, this property gave us plenty of Soave for all and a great location to suit all. Thanks again

The property is well located.
Clean and well presented with great ammenities. The main bathroom is a jack and jill off 2 of the bedrooms, a little awkward if staying with friends as access only through the bedrooms. Good a/c, foxtel on tvs, pool, pool table, pontoon. Some rods and kayaks provided for use and 2 car secure garage.
5.0 / 5.0
The house was quite nice, but is showing some need of repair in places. The house was very spacious, the only thing we didn’t like is that there was no main bathroom, only an ensuite and a bathroom between two of the bedrooms, so the other guest had to go through other bedrooms to use a bathroom.
The pool and pontoon were both exellant.
Overall a nice big place to stay in and very central to everything

We stayed at the property for 10 days and had an absolute ball! Pool was great and plenty of room to spread out!
Wayne was a great host with quick replies and assistance!!
4.0 / 5.0
The place is a little older than it looks in pictures, that being said it was perfect for us. We were 9 people, kids & adults. There were enough rooms, beds and places for us to relax and unwind after busy days. We had a few issues which Wayne addressed immediately and communicated clearly we really appreciated that. Overall we had a great stay.

Great property for large families or groups. Everything you need is supplied. A few necessary things need replacing (not working properly and old) eg: oven & dishwasher! 😫
But very close to shopping centres and easy access to roads to theme parks.
The pool was a real treat for the grandkids!!!!!
