Great House near shops

The property has been renovated however it still an older style house. Has an antenna on the house but the local TV stations can't be used, only foxtel. The TV remote didnt work either. Little things but they make a difference. The only thing my wife missed was a dryer. It was hard to use the clothes line as it was covered with spider webs and over grown trees.

Lovely, well-equipped home close to the shops

Great house and location, very convenient to the shops, cafes, etc. The kitchen was well-equipped and the BBQ was great. We were there on a hot weekend, the house had ceiling fans but was still quite warm. Communication with Bernadette was great and the little touches of the welcome hamper and ice blocks was very much appreciated. Overall it was a great place to spend a weekend away with friends.

Spacious

Spacious, well stocked kitchen & property is in central location. Really difficult to cool down if at the house & outdoor temp is 30 degrees or over, as house heats right up & there is no A/C or ceiling fans etc. First impressions are good. Has a large backyard, nice little back deck & front veranda.
