#### Great time with friends
The accommodation was fantastic for the 12 of us that consisted of 6 adults and 6 young kids. Very spacious, close to the beach, not too far from the main st and the hosts were very informative from the start.

#### Fantastic!
We had a fabulous stay here! The house is beautiful, clean and well equipped with lots of thoughtful ittle extras. Great location with a short walk to the beach and about a 10-15 minute walk to the Coles and main strip of shops. We also loved the pool table. If it had a pool/spa we would never leave!

This is a wonderful house, one of the best I've stayed at. Extremely clean, super comfortable, fully equipped with everything you could need, the bedrooms are spacious with huge wardrobes. The pool table is an excellent inclusion and the outdoor area is lovely with lots of seating options. The host was very easy to communicate with also. Would definitely choose to stay here again!

Our extended family had a great stay. Clean and very well equipped. Outdoor area inc firepit, pool table and the Sonos speakers inside and outside were some of many highlights. The host was also super quick to respond to any queries. Thank you
