We had a great time

We enjoyed our stay. The property is centrally located and close to the beach. It has everything you need except I couldn't find the iron, only the ironing board. The blankets that are left the cabinet were a little on the musty side too and they need a freshen up, otherwise it was a great stay.

Beautiful mini holiday

We stayed for 3 nights in this beautiful cozy house . Great space for a family with furry children like us with large lounge room and backyard. When we arrived the heater was on which was nice as it was cold outside. The bed sheets - so soft ! We had a great night sleep every night . Overall ,we have had a very enjoyable stay. Thank you ❤️

A very welcoming home

We Love the house. Amazing back yard. quiet area. Great position walk to shops and beach. Well set up and Very clean, but unusual not to have a dishwasher. The negitives were as we are more on the senior side the king bed was quiet high and the person using this had to almost jump up on to it. The other beds queens did have queen bunks on top so also not easy to get into as limited area to access bed. No room for bed side table or lamp. But we would of been aware of this at booking. But didnt realise how restricting this would be. And the main gas heater and conection in the living area did make me nervous, if I had a young children or a dog. We would probably stay again as so many positives. Thanks.

A beautiful property located nice and close to the local shopping centre, beach and so many lovely restaurants. The house and garden was clean and well maintained. It had everything that you needed for a short stay. Communication with staff was terrific and they were always so prompt and pleasant with their replies. Highly recommend.

Great location, nice living/kitchen and large outdoor area

Clean on arrival and very easy to check-in. We were a group of 5 adults with a baby and dogs. Living/kitchen/dining is large and well equipped, with plenty of room for our group. There was also a large undercover area outside as well as a very big backyard - great for our dogs, and I could imagine also perfect for kids to play. Bedrooms were fine for a holiday, and bathroom/laundry also adequate. 10 minute walk to the Rosebud foreshore as well as the Rosebud shopping centre - very convenient! Enjoyed our stay and would come again.
