We had a fantastic stay at Doug and Deb's. The house was so close to the beach, and it was lovely to walk along on a winters day, then come back to the gas heater which warmed the whole living area. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed for kids and adults alike. We also had a few extra family members come for meals, and there was easily enough crockery / cutlery, and space to have everyone, including a high chair. The best part was being able to have our dogs stay, inside and out. They had a great time exploring and the beach nearby the house was dog friendly. The inclusion of a good vacuum cleaner was definitely a help with all the sand they brought back :) It was also great to having a washing machine and dryer, especially as we had a couple of days of rain.
We loved Cubby Bakehouse just down the road for breakfasts and lunches, and Kingscliff was close by to get anything we needed.
Doug and Deb were excellent hosts, and also prompt at communicating when we had a little issue; it was resolved quickly, and they checked in with us a few times. Definitely will be back!
