I live close so brought supplies but everything was there. I wanted to get back to beach which was an easy 5 minute walk. Place felt secure and safe Had all that was needed. Did not bring critters this time but will feel comfortable to next time. Had a relaxing stay and will visit again.

A lovely little cottage with a sizeable backyard for the kids and dogs to play. A quiet neighbourhood and walking distance to Smiths Beach. We had a wonderful, relaxing few days away and would love to come back again :)

Love the position near the beach and great value.

This is a great little beach house in a lovely location and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The problem is that a lot of things need fixing and/or updating to make it an exceptional stay. Minor repairs need to be made or completed, and things like plumbing and power points need addressing (an awful lot of power boards) plus remotes for TV and Aircon were awful. Would be a terrific house with these upgrades. The host was super to deal with and I am sure is aware of these few issues.
