A lovely place to stay for our young family. The house is very well set out and the front deck is great - it's just got something about it - it's a very pleasant place to stay and relax in.Thank you to the hosts!

Reviewer Comments:
Well laid out house with pretty much everything you could need for a family. Studio/shed had the dart board and table tennis. Beach is a very short walk over one street. Very flat and perfect for a kayak, paddle board or a swim. Magical sunsets. Very quiet area and location was great to get to Point Turton and other lovely seaside towns for fishing and snorkeling. Imagine it is the best location if you have a boat. Air con was needed due to the lovely hot weather and so was very grateful for that. Bedrooms have fans only. We enjoyed our stay. Had some ants in the kitchen so take everything in containers and store things in the fridge that they might want to get into. Mgt will look into that but sometimes it can’t be helped. Didn’t impact us greatly.

My family and I stayed at Royston Retreat for 4 nights and loved how spacious and comfortable it was for a family of 5. Loved the ping pong table and darts too! The only downfall was the cleanliness of the house... eg toilet, vanity (soap scum around taps), dead bugs on windowsills, food splatters on venetians at kitchen window.
