I don't normally write reviews as we travel a lot but our stay was so enjoyable I just had to put in one.
Lisa was great to communicate with throughout the booking process and when she knew we had a young daughter she kindly offered to have a cot and high chair set up when we arrive.
When we arrived at the house we were instantly impressed by the location, layout, functionality and thoughtfulness into everything.
On top of this, this place did not take much for us to settle into as it almost instantly felt like home with Lisa and Jason's lovely decors (xmas decors too!) and styling. There were awesome cook books (which my wife loved), a nice collection of DVDs (and a very cozy couch to go with the TV); boxes and boxes of toys and board games; a brilliant BBQ which made my culinary skills good for once; and even beach toys for the young.
Other things such as a proper laundry with washer/dryer/cloth line; A/C and fans; an enormous kitchen island bench/table which could easily sit 8-10 people; and a very updated kitchen with all the utencils as well as a coffee machine were all fantastic for a cozy family stay. The bathrooms were modern and beautiful towels were supplied. The only thing we had to bring of our own were beach towels.
We spent a lot of time sitting and eating at the outdoor entertaining area which was surrounded by lovely gardenias and other beautiful plants/flowers. Our daughter's favorite was the watering can and couldn't help but to water the garden (i hope you don't mind Lisa!)
The location was ideal as it was very quiet and very close to the surf beaches which was great as I surfed at couple of breaks nearby. We spent a lot of time at Diggers beach also and the massive lawn area of Aanuka resort was a great place for kids to play/run around in.
Lisa also gave us plenty of local advice on the restaurant options and the food scene .
All in all this was an amazing place and Lisa and Jason are absolutely amazing hosts. They've made it easy to appreciate this beautiful cottage. We will definitely be back ! A big thank you guys!
