Great stay
This house was fantastic for what we required, amazing area upstairs and the outside area is perfect. We didn’t use the games room but it would be fantastic if you had teenagers. Communication with the owner was great. Cannot fault this wonderful property.

We stayed at the property as a get together family Christmas. The property is very comfortable and extremely well resourced. The weather was poor but it didn’t faze us as we had plenty to do at the property. Karen was fabulous to deal with. Big thanks for the availability of your house.

Great holiday beach home
Great place. First impressions was lovely place, lovely decor, lovely touches. Everything impressed us with this place. We forgot our bogey boards ... they had them. We forgot to bring beach chairs ... they had them. And we remember most of the other stuff (aeroguard, sun screen, etc. etc.) ... but they had it just in case. Fabulous place for a week stay. Beach, cafes, restaurants, river, ... will definitely stay again!
