We had a great stay ( 19 of us) even though the weather wasn’t warm enough Christmas week to swim! The yard was great all the kids had lots of room to play all their games etc! The kitchen was fairly well stocked ( even kids dishes etc) we picked up a blender for smoothies etc & scouring pads to scrub pots & pans. Each person got 1 towel which we could have used more for the week but all good! I would recommend this holiday house for large groups as it almost all the boxes! The Bbq area was great as well.

Super family home
A family home with all the ‘extras’ that made our extended family long weekend together absolutely wonderful!
Comfortable beds, enough bathrooms, entertainment areas including the tennis court and pool (too cold for June) and outdoor gardens to the short walk to the front beach, the home catered for all ages in our family group.

Family reunion holiday
We found it a great house for a large group from many age generations to enjoy varied activities and spaces. There were a great choice of activities for everyone. Although dogs were allowed at the property, not having a front gate meant there was a constant need to check it’s whereabouts.

Thanks Adam and Belinda,
We had an amazing long weekend with our children and grandchildren, 17 in total. The tennis court and basketball hoop were in use between showers. The games room was a perfect hang- out for the teenagers while the adults were able to relax in their own space.

Wonderful location.
Within walking distance of front and back beaches as well as shopping centre but with so many activities to do on the property we spent much of our time at the house. The number of living areas, bedrooms a bathrooms was a huge bonus and we wanted for nothing. A few small maintenance things to be done in and around the house…we discussed that sometimes it’s a good idea for owners to stay on their properties for a while so they get to know these things and rectify. Overall we had a wonderful stay and certainly recommended for a large family.

The house was fantastic with plenty of room for all the couples and their children. The house had lots of amenities to keep all entertained during the stay. Shops and beach were walking distance for the house, only negative thing I’d have to say is the house had no cooling down stairs which was the main living area.

Our family of 18 (aged 11-76) had a fantastic stay at this property. The multiple living/recreation areas meant that everyone was able to find a comfortable space for reading or games. We played downball on the half court tennis court and found the pool refreshing . The kitchen was well appointed for a large group and the bar fridge in the games room good for drinks.

A lovely place to spend time with family. Wonderfully furnished with plenty of room, great amenities and very clean throughout. Super comfy beds, big well-equipped kitchen, spotless bathrooms and toilets. Loved the lovely big grounds, pity it was too cold to use the pool but we certainly appreciated the gas fire and central heating!
