Everything you could possibly need for a relaxing family holiday. Best of both worlds - only half hour out of the city, with the tranquility and seclusion of a beach home.
Spacious property with great private and shared spaces. Very comfortable and clean, and had everything we needed.
The township has good quality convenience shops. Beautiful location.
We all enjoyed our stay.
Superb. Great supply of everything you need in a house. Clean, ample amount of towels, dishes and you name it . Kids and all had an amazing time. We surely book again .
Thank you Lucy and Raymond, your property was very relaxing, clean, tidy and exactly as shown at booking.Having the chill out space next to bottom bedroom was brilliant for our young miss 11, nice and quiet for herself and her puppy. Nice evening walks to beach close by.
Good property, all ammenities needed, south of hobart, 30 min to airport, bicycles, surfboards and great kitchen. Kids loved the games, TV, and all stuff kept for them. Highly recommended.
The property is very spacious and clean. It has everything we need. The only small issue was the metal gate is a little difficult to pull open and close.
We loved our stay here. The house is really well kitted out, with everything we needed. We enjoyed the firepit, the bbq, the many different relaxing spaces in the house and the great coffee. We were lucky to have fabulous weather so spent lots of time at the beach, only 5 minutes walk away. The outdoor shower was handy for rinsing off the sand. We accidentally left a much-loved soft toy behind and Lucy messaged as soon as it was found, offering to post it to us. Thanks Lucy!
We enjoyed our stay , we loved the house and that it was big enough so that 3 kids could each have their own room or area . Also loved how close to the beach it was . Will definitely come back again .
Great spacious property very clean and well appointed but please be aware this house is vast and noises echo all round the house so not ideal if you have noisey friends or family
