About the home

This single-storey home contains a Kitchen & Dining area leading out to the large under-cover deck. There are two Living areas (the first with smart TV and DVD player; the second with a pool table), and a master bedroom with walk-in robe and en-suite (with shower and toilet). There are two further Bedrooms (each with BIR), another bathroom (with bath and shower), a separate toilet and a Laundry (with washing machine).
Outdoor Areas
Outdoor living is a delight with a huge, fully roofed deck housing a gas BBQ and outdoor setting. Off-street parking is also provided, with room for two vehicles plus a large double garage. Pets are welcome to use the dog beds provided under the pergola.

Pretty good overall- cleaning could be improved- frypans were in cupboard and dirty and clothes in cupboards and drawers and down side of bed.
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2025
This was perfect short stay for our family & dogs. Large enough for 8 of us. Quiet street within short drive to shops & beaches. Outdoor deck, BBQ, pool table & yard was well used by all of us. Thank you

Beautiful house and backyard fabulous for a dog.
We loved our stay.
6 / 10Average·Mar 2022
The problem we had with this property was with the bed linen. The matrress protectors on all of the beds were filthy. Obvious staining, and general grubbiness and then the smell - ugh. The pillow protectors also were rank. We washed all the linen but the property did not have a dryer so we could not use them during our stay. We contacted the agents who advised us to buy new ones and we were reimbursed but it wasn't the best start to our holiday.
This is definitely not the fault of the agents and they were very helpful and empathetic. However the rest of the house could do with a good spring clean! Doubt we will stay there again.
