There is undercover, off street parking.Inside is clean and tidy. Very good facilities (washing machine/tumble dryer/gas heater/coffee machine/cooking utensils/TVs etc).There is a very unique second toilet under the stairs that gives Harry Potter vibes .Not for you if you don't get along with stairs; the living area and kitchen/dining are on the first floor.Definitely recommend! ##### Rikki P.

I recently stayed here with my husband, two boys (9&7) & dog. The property was clean, comfortable & in a fantastic location! Great access to beaches, eateries & walking tracks. For me it was the little things that made the biggest impact… Fluffy Sheridan towels, fast Wifi, smart tv’s (makes a world of difference with tired kids after big days exploring) & well maintained bathroom/kitchen. There was even a dog door for our girl so she was able to take herself out to toilet! We wouldn’t hesitate to book another stay here. ##### Natalie P.
