Perfect family holiday home

We enjoyed our stay at the property. Well equipped near new home, especially the kitchen. Great location- quiet, but still walking distance to everything. Lovely view and access to the water. Can’t fault it. Thank you

Great house in Urunga

The house is superbly located and is very comfortable. Good beds and bedding. Well appointed kitchen. A few things would have improved the stay - bedside lights; a light in the bathroom; better lighting in the lounge area.

We absolutely loved our stay here and intend to come and stay again. The location is amazing, close to the boardwalk and lido and an easy walk to the shops and places to eat. We could easily get our paddleboards from the property into the lagoon whenever the tide was up.The house was very comfortable and easy to make safe for a crawling baby and a toddler. It was stocked with nearly everything you would need without having to bring much from home. We replenished a couple supplies like the clothes pegs and cling wrap.The only things that could be improved is that some of the bedding was mouldy and stained, and the shower heads in the ensuite had a lot of buildup so the water flow was blocked and came out on all sorts of angles. We were able to work around that though and for such a good location we will still come and stay again!

The BEST Family Holiday

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of 6 stayed at this beautiful home on the water. The kids spent endless hours playing in the lagoon while we watched from the large deck. There’s a paved path to the lido swimming area and convenience of coffee shops and supermarket only a few hundred metres away. We loved the open plan living style taking advantage of the view, fresh, modern feel and the flexibility of splitting the beds to accomodate everyone. Can’t wait to come back!

Furniture on balcony needed cleaning before we could use it - saucepans were unusable - toilet seats needed fixing - one fell off - went to hang our clothes - no hangers - did a load of washing - a few broken pegs in peg basket - zero condiments in the pantry - salt and pepper would be good - external bins overflowing with existing rubbish - beds were comfortable and house generally ok - badly let down by all the little things !!!

Drinks in the evening on the veranda overlooking the water was wonderful. Fantastic walkways, boardwalks close by. Easy walk into the town centre where everything we needed was available. Great pub and club. The house is spacious and well set out, the kitchen is well equiped. Great showers! Plenty of storage.
