About this house rental
This lovely brick house is so close to the beach you can almost smell the saltwater. Just stroll past two houses and cross the road to the beautiful bay beach.
The 3 bedroom house is set up to be a great entertainer. The open plan dining and lounge area
(with Foxtel) works well with the great size kitchen which is well equipped for all your cooking and entertaining needs.
The whole yard is fully fenced, so there is plenty of privacy and plenty of room for the kids to run.
Out the back is a tranquil outdoor entertaining area. Under the large sail is the outdoor setting big enough to seat the whole family plus more.
The house is set up with different sitting areas so you can catch the sun or play it safe in the shade. A large 6 burner bbq is ready for use all year round.
The massive garage is set up like a kids / teenagers retreat area. Also great for those adults that like a bit of competition with each other. It has a dining table & chairs to play those board games on. TV and DVD Player, couches, dart board, air hockey table and table tennis table and pool table.
So if the weather isn't so good, the kids can go to their space and the parents are left in peace inside. There is also a basket ball hoop in the drive to keep them active outside too, plus other outside games.
The main bedroom has a queen size bed with a good size ensuite plus separate walk-in-robe. It has an 80cm Plasma TV with a built-in DVD player.
Bedroom 2 has a queen size bed and the 3rd bedroom has a double bed with a single bed bunk on top. Both bedrooms 2 & 3 have built-in wardrobes.

Jo is a wonderful host. Her place is a home away from home. The play retreat area included innumerable toys in the cupboard, in addition to all the adult fun (pool table, table tennis, darts, air hockey). Books everywhere covering all genres was a lovely touch. And the kitchen was better stocked than my own! Highly recommend.

We were visiting from the States to attend my Daughters wedding and the place was organised by the family. Did not know what to expect but was extremely pleased with what Jo had provided... even Vegemite :-). The games room was a great place form us to relax and we absolutely loved the wild life, saw a Kookaburra, and many other native Australian birds that added to the ambience of the place. Cannot recommend it more highly
