Relax in peace

We are 3 middle aged friends (women). We stayed at 18 Peace Ave - which by the way is aptly named -for 2 nights and 3 days (extended check in and out which was great). The time flew and we had a wonderful peaceful and relaxing time. The property is spacious, very clean and well stocked with food, bedding etc. It was a bit hot to sit outside most of the time but we could see the potential of how nice it would be to sit and look out into the simple but lovely garden. The house is walking distance to the shops and to the beach. We enjoyed our morning walks around the area. We all agreed that the next stay at this property would be a lot longer. Thank you to all involved in the upkeep and renting out of this beautiful place.

Fantastic family holiday home!!

Big thanks to Dora and Frank for allowing us to stay in your beautiful holiday home. Everything you could want and more. Portacot and high chair available which saved us the hastle of bringing our own. Comfy bed, big kitchen with array of utensils, cosy living room. Our toddler absolutely loved the big backyard which he explored every day during our stay. Short walk to main strip and atttractions. Only concern was a big crack in the cement just outside the back veranda, we had to watch our son didn’t trip. Works were also happening to the house next door but Dora kindly notified us of this prior to check-in and to let her know if the noise became an issue. Luckily it didn’t impact our stay. We will be back!

Great stay in VH

Wonderful week in VH, the house is in a good location, only minutes walk to the town centre and shopping centres, beach and playground. Well furnished & stocked, wide selection of kitchen items, includes pretty well everything needed bar food and personal items (of course!). Even had some games for kids, and the back yard was much bigger space than anticipated which was a great surprise. The only downside was the slightly squeaky floors in the corridor between bedrooms and bathrooms, which made night time & mornings a little tricky to minimise noise whislt others slept, but we managed. Was cosy and comfortable otherwise. Thanks!
