Great location but some improvements would help
The house location and amenities were very good but we didn't receive information regarding check-in and check out procedures. Initially we had some difficulty locating the property as the name of the property was not signed. We sent a message through to the owner but didn't receive any reply. The contact mobile number was no longer in service. These details need to be updated. Limited mobile reception and not having Wifi available made communication and booking activities on line difficult. It would be grest if Wifi could be added to the property given the poor mobile reception. A collection of DVD'S or a smart TV to allow access to streaming services would also be great addition. The bathrooms would also benefit from body soap being available.

Weekend with old friends
Lovely house in a great position. Very close to the beach and a great cafe. Very comfortable set up though the exterior rooms particularly were very cold. Communication with manager was sporadic at best and arriving in the dark added challenges but we muddled through and had a very enjoyable weekend.

Disliked: Amenities
The property is in an excellent location and in reasonable condition. However that is where it ends. Communication with the host is nearly impossible! We raised issues through our stay which are still unanswered - no wifi info details were added during stay and therefore nil access during stay. After checking out we raised issues about being charged for a unit which we did not use and two weeks later no response - beware when booking,example -if you honestly advise your group has a 2yr old you may get an additional unit which is of no value but could cost $90 a night! We unfortunately left a birthday present for a child at the property and two weeks later advice is that the host is still waiting to hear from the cleaners? This respone only came after repeated messages to the host and phone calls to the booking agents. All bathrooms on property are ok but provide minimal soap etc to commence your stay First negative review I have ever submitted however I find this treatment of travellers who book in good faith very disrespectfull. Cheers Andrew

Great location, spacious, clean and tidy. Bedroom and bathroom idea is wonderful. Some extra towels would be a good idea. (one per person for 5 days, not enough) Communication with property manager could be improved. Will stay again :)

The property was exactly as expected. Very clean, quiet and very spacious. We were a party of five grand parents mum and kids. And we had plenty of room and access to the beach as from the rear of the property. We would definitely stay here again.

Lovely location and perfect set up for 2 families
We were all impressed with the layout of the property and would definitely recommend it to friends and would love to stay again at sometime. The only negative that we could say was unfortunately the property manager was very slack in responding to initial message - took a couple of weeks to respond but was however apologetic once she finally responded.
