Very spacious and well looked after property. Very clean and well set out
A great place for families, the games room was good entertainment. Lovely setting outside for sitting out and eating/drinking. The BBQ needed to be bigger and maybe better downstairs. A small fridge in the games area would have been good too. No complaints we were very impressed with the speed and easy way the issue with the oven was dealt with

Wonderful house for family and friends getaway!
Spacious house for two families with teenage children, a short stroll to the beach and walking trails. We particularly loved the outdoor fire, pool table, large TVs and separate living areas. We will definitely return for our next trip to Jamberoo Action Park, which is a short 15 drive away!

Wonderful location & space for a get together
The house is well furnished & provides all the essential & more. Please note; you need to provides your own beach towels. Only set back is air conditioner is only in the lounge-dining- kitchen area and is not powerful enough to cool the place down on over 30 C day. Ceiling fans are in the room but on days over 30C the bedrooms & downstairs are very warm even with open windows & doors. No screen on the downstairs bedroom so we were eaten alive by mossies.
