Lovely comfortable home great location walk to everything. Kitchen well equiped. The only thing that I would suggest given 9 people can be accommodated is a slightly larger dining table and a couple of armchairs to supplement the lounge so all can sit comfortably in the living room other than that highly recommend. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah M.

Oct 13, 2018 #### gerringong stay House was ok, garage was full of junk could not use it, a lot of rules and warnings that the deposit could be taken from you. Deposit took 11 days to be returned. Felt like I was at my perants house no noise after 9pm was one of the worst rules, we are on supposed to be on holidays. I recommend if you looking for a Holliday stay just ring the local real estate agents as that’s all this was booked under we had to go to the realestate to pick up the keys and drop them off we also had to do the cleaning, not really a great way to spend my time on holidays. Oh, the only cleaning done was the toilets, there was crap and dirt all over the rugs and carpets no sheets or towels in the place, apparently we had to bring our own, never in my life has this happened to me and I have travelled to a lot of countries. I didn’t find using this website as useful, if you book with the realestate directly it would probably save you a bundle of money. ##### Todd K. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2018 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Lachlan C. Apr 1, 2017 #### Cookes Haven overall good The house was left not cleaned on our arrival. Especially with children around, I don't feel it was up to standard. We had to get a cleaner before we even unpacked which unsettled the stay from the start. The comfort of the beds is terrible, can feel every spring in the mattress and our bed was lopsided. Apart from those 2 issues, the house is well located, and has all the features we needed including Foxtel. I would recommend this property to people if it were cleaned prior to arrival and the bedding was updated. ##### Lachlan C. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christine J. Oct 1, 2015 #### Excellent The house was perfect for our young kids and dog. The real estate agent went above and beyond to help us out when we left a mobile phone at the property. ##### Christine J.
