Great Location, Fantastic Property

This townhouse is very spacious and light, in a quiet street and so close to the local coles, shops and beach. It is well equipped with foxtel, three air conditioners, a good bbq and more! We would stay here again.

Comfortable spacious unit in a great location!

We had a great time in this unit. Unfortunately we had a rocky check-in being told we would receive check-in details closer to our stay which never came. Luckily O'Brien's real estate (who handle the rental) were easy to find on the main Street and had a key for us. The unit is the first of 5 units on the block so we had our own driveway. The street was super quiet and the house has an alarm so very safe. Bedrooms were spacious and the loungeroom was very comfy with a sliding door that blocked the tv noise from the kids rooms. Location was perfect. Coles right around the corner and beach within walking distance. Would highly recommend.
