Nov 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing getaway The house was really comfortable,with great views and breezes available. Area is laid back with roos everywhere, great Birdlife and saw whales and dolphins. Loved it ##### Nick T. Stayed 8 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Feb 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Pleasant location Nice location close to bush and beach and reasonable value for money given the ridiculously expensive accommodation prices for Australian holidays lately. Only issue is the 9am checkout through SWR accomodation in which the keys have to be back to the office by that time which is a little early considering most places are 10am checkout. But staff are friendly. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Craig C. Aug 18, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 5 days local kangaroos birds etc quiet area. Older style house no wifi smart tvs etc.which didnt worry us.clean inside. There is no ac so in summer could be an issue.value for money. Only thing i would recommend to owner would be a bbq on the deck or little weber.thankyou. ##### Craig C. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Warren B.

Oct 14, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quiet retreat Nice quiet surroundings , friendly neighbours ##### Benjamin G. Stayed 14 nights in Sep 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Adam R. Feb 27, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fridge, door, laundry Need sign on fridge advising guests to not put freezer on maximum. Control in freezer is a valve, not a thermostat. Thus maximum setting means fridge not supplied w/cold air. Washing machine, whilst new, wanders around the floor, pulls pipe out of sink, and thus floods laundry. Need hook, or door stop for internal entrance door, at top of stairs, otherwise in any wind the door slams shut. Otherwise fine, except no ice cube tray? ##### Adam R.
