What an amazing property in Casuarina. It was exactly as photographed and was perfect for our family get away. We were a family of 4, so it was a large property, however it gave everyone the space apart or together as needed. The pool is spectacular!
The location to the beach, cycle/walking path, groceries and restaurants was amazing. The owners left a list of places to eat and we went to many. The list was fantastic. This house is in the absolute perfect location.
I understand that this is a big property and as a result will have lots of quirks and complications. We were very grateful that Diane spent time to explain everything on our first day of our arrival. Diane was fabulous in communication and was never more than a text away.
A couple of points to consider when looking at the property, the listing shows that it is air-conditioned, however I think it was just the upstairs living and two of the upstairs bedrooms. The rest have fans. The downstairs living area is so open that it doesn't make a difference.
In the listing about the office next door it says that it is generally in use on work days 9am - 3pm. This property was in use more often than that (including the weekends) however they were very discreet and were not a bother. They did not come onto the back property at all.
We were very grateful to have found this house and spent most of our time in the downstairs lounge room and outdoor area as it is so beautiful and family friendly. Being able to cook up food for lunch, sit by the pool in such an expansive private yard felt like such a privilege.
Thank you to Diane for letting us stay.
