Perfect for the 6 of us staying at our favourite location near Duchies Beach. Pleasantly impressed with the cleanliness of the home upon entering the property, spacious and had all of our needs catered for. All in all cannot fault this property as our home away from home. We will certainly be booking again!

Location Location

The property was well designed for the purpose of our stay. Generally clean however needs a little freshening up as it looks a bit tired eg. paintwork & air-con grills. The pantry was thoughtfully stocked with essentials as were kitchen utensils, crockery, cutlery and cooking equipment. Adequate keys were provided which was very handy. Overall we enjoyed our stay at this property immensely.

Great weekend getaway

Venessa & John were fabulous hosts of this quiet little townhouse. We were 7 adults and a 1 year old and the house suited perfectly. It was an overcast weekend, and the house provided a great view of the lake (which was only about 150m from the front door!) and plenty of indoor and outdoor leisure space. The kitchen had everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again!

Fabulous weekend spent with the family. This home had plenty of room for us all and a wonderful open plan area to enjoy each other. The house was spotless and very comfortable with plenty of seating, beds and bathrooms for us all. Very close to everything beach, shops and the walking path to the marina. The sunset view from the verandah was stunning and the children enjoyed the playset in the backyard. We would definitely book again.

Lovely property in fantastic location

We had a lovely stay, the property is a great size and is very clean, comfortable and well equipped. We were two couples both with our 1 years olds and the layout was perfect. It’s located a very close walk to the beach and has lovely views of the water. The only dampener was the terrible weather as we don’t feel like we were able to appreciate/explore the area and also utilize the lovely garden and swing set out the back which was disappointing as it was our first getaway with our bubs, but obviously completely out of anyone’s control. Would highly recommend and stay again.
