About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Great Family Escape - relaxing getaway

The house is a 5-10 minute walk to the shops/Cape Tavern, 900 metres from the beach, and just a couple of doors down from the local park. With a full kitchen, you'll be cooking a up a storm in no time, and the dishwasher is there to clean up the mess! The fireplace is amazing on cold winter nights, and the high ceilings will keep you cool throughout the summer. There is a huge covered north facing deck out the back with an 8 burner BBQ, dining setting and lounges with still plenty of lawn for the kids. Its the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city to unwind and relax. You’ll love it because of the living space, deck, location and tranquillity. Its the perfect place for couples and families. Its on a quite gravel road so there are no cars zooming down the street.

Relaxing short stay

Really enjoyed our stay in this comfortable and very clean house. Cape Paterson is a great area to explore - the house was a gentle 10 min walk to the beach, with parkland and playground very close by.

Perfect holiday break

We loved our stay at this property it was perfect for a family to relax and unwind in. Its comfortable and warm with a large kitchen/dining/lounge room. Loads of videos and books and caters well for children. It has a lovely, enclosed back yard with a great table and bbq for those outdoor meals. Close to the beach and Tavern it is in an ideal location, and we would definitely come back!

Great property for a quick break

Great property with a well stocked kitchen and comfortable. Karege deck with BBQ and enclosed backyard. 600m from beach. Only downside was there is no internet and mobile reception is very poor...intermittent at best. Would recommend.

Be careful

Loved Cape Paterson and we loved staying at this property but be careful they will take your bond. We cleaned up after ourselves and even put out the bins to be collected... never again.. bad experience.

Exceeded expectations

This property was perfect for 2 x adults and 4 big children. Upon arrival it was clean and organised and the living area and bedrooms exceeded images online. Backyard alfresco and kitchen was awesome, great second space. The kitchen and open plan living area fit all 6 of us at times and kitchen was really well equipped for families, dishwasher a bonus! Nicole and William were very quick to respond and accept booking. One toilet always a little challenge on these trips but when you’re out and about it really doesn’t matter. Excellent location and walking distance to nearby park and beach. No wifi but we always make that work on our little holidays if needed. Great value for money! Excellent host and property our 2 nights stay!

Comfortable home near beaches and shops

Great house for us and 2 teenagers. Well set up kitchen and great to have games and lots of DVDs. Easy walk to the shops and main beaches. Bunk beds mattresses were a little hard. Needed a second fan for bedrooms for very hot days!
