We stayed at Ian and Beryl's place for a special birthday celebration with our extended family and some old friends. We found that the house was comfortable and attractive and had everything we needed for a relaxed holiday at the beach. It was a very hot weekend but there were plentiful overhead fans and breezy spots to get away from the heat. We certainly made good use of the pool. It was great to be so close to the ocean beach, and within walking distance of the quiet safe estuary where we could swim and the little ones could play. The house was close to shops including several good coffee shops. It was well provided with books, board games, bicycles and sports equipment - we wish we had stayed longer to try them out.
