Feb 5, 2022 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Beilby 60 yrs of fun The location and view could not have been better. Very steep drive. The furniture in the house was very tierd in places, some seats were thread bare. But the view was magnificent over the bay and this was not really mentioned. ##### kevin B.
