Good location

Close by to lovely beaches and walking paths. Plenty of space for family living. The budget price was attractive and comes with an old style house that has seen better days but is mostly comfortable for budget accommodation.

Dissapointed

Interior clean, exterior very poor, toilet very low for aged or disabled people, with no handrail for assistance.. Shower rose drips continually in shower and no support handrail.. Photos of advert imply dwelling directly across road from the waterfront, shows 2 TVs ,1 only and only local free to air channels. In short a very aged property and over priced.

Great location, spacious old house.

We loved walking across the road to the beach. While the house was spacious, it needed considerable maintenance, especially curtaining in the main bedroom facing the street. Broken venetians don't give much privacy. It really didn't detract from a great stay.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Place smelled damp, mouldy and dusty. Furniture and Kitchen appliances are from second hand st vinnies. Rusted, stained,dirty. Dust and mould on walls, windows and Curtains. Don't bother cooking, kitchen utensils are eather broken or dirty, Rusted. Had to call the agency to complain only to be told its the cheapest in the are. For the money i paid the owner could at least get new kitchen appliances and furniture. Won't be back.

Lovely and cozy

Very well equipped and it was nice and tidy. The location was excellent, just a couple minutes drive to the marina and a minutes walk to the beach. The house was cozy and felt like a real home :)

Don’t judge a book by its cover

9/10 for our stay. House was a good size with ample room for 2 adults and 2 kids and the house had absolutely everything you needed if you had forgotten to bring something. Very close walk to the Bay across the road, with a small park for the kids which was handy. Very affordable pricing for our 10 day stay and was comfortable. So overall very happy and would stay there again. Beautiful place and it was a great holiday.

Just like nannas house.

Old house but comfy. Great location. Affordable. Cleaners need to wash the mattress protectors as they looked old and a tad shabby. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay and would return for another stay.
