Another weekend in paradise

We had stayed here 16 years ago, and it was a fun time with the family. Having two areas made it great for those that needed some quiet, and downstairs great for my daughter who has FND and needs a wheel chair from time to time. Kids had heaps of room to play.

Island Adventure Holiday House

Overall staying at the house was fantastic and the owners were very helpful with information and easy to communicate with. As the person who slept in the room with the double bed bunk, my one and only complaint was sleeping on a slanted mattress due to the bed frame itself being bent. I still managed to sleep well enough, but it is something that should be addressed. That said, every other aspect of the stay was highly enjoyable, thank you.

Wonderful Family Holiday

This fantastic house was everything we hoped. Lots of space for 9 adults, two children under 6 years of age and 1 baby. The swimming pool was well used (although a bit chilly for us) and the tables on the upstairs veranda could easily fit us all. Amenities are as described but you will need to take all your own food requirements, cooking oil, paper towel, condiments, etc as well as laundry powder for the washing machine. We walked to the beach, the Maggie Island Brewery and had a very relaxing 4-night stay. We hope to return one day.

Great house and location

Great place to stay. Plenty of space, very comfortable bed and home. Can see the owners have put in a lot of work to make it comfortable for guests, highlights was the coffee machine with free coffee and the pool! Keep an eye on pool cleanliness, not sure if it was previous guests or a neighbour but we found some cigarette butts floating in the water. Solved easily with a skim of the pool and the rest of the house made up for it in terms of accommodation and location!

Beautiful spacious house ideal for family getaway

Thank you Mark & Rosemary for the perfect weekend getaway with family & friends. There were 14 adults staying & there was plenty of room. The house is in a great location, walking distance to pub & bus stop. We went to the Stage Door Theatre Restaurant on the Saturday night & had no trouble getting buses to & from the venue back to the house. The place was clean & well equipped. Great communication with Mark & Rosemary before hand & appreciate the earlier check in.
