We had a nice stay over the Australia Day long weekend. There were 6 adults and 3 kids under 4 years in our party. There was plenty of space for us all. Excellent outdoor areas and yard space for us to kick around a ball. Proximity to beach and other Phillip Isand attractions made this a great location.
