Mar 5, 2019 #### Great house Great place... ##### George G. Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark M. Feb 15, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Rain, Hail or Shine We recently stayed at the house and during the 5 nights the weather was pretty dim. The house was great for our kids (4 & 6yrs old) the linen press was full of games and the coffee table had DVD's. The property is only a short stroll to Shoal Bay beach and Cafe etc but is also a short drive to Fingal Bay if you prefer larger waves and a patrolled beach. We would definitely stay again and recommend to family and friends. ##### Mark M. Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2021 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### jdawn Apr 7, 2018 #### great family holiday home This renovated holiday home is perfect for families with plenty of space inside and out for children to play and adults to relax. Well equipped kitchen,2 living areas with game and toy stocked cupboards, a spacious covered veranda with BBQ and parking for several vehicles within walking distance of the beach. ##### jdawn
