This is a great house for family or friends to get together in a quiet and sleepy part of the north coast. We didn't get the best weather so having a pool and river (with kayaks etc and a swing rope) right there was great to make immediate use of in the weather breaks and this kept the kids (and dog) amused for hours on end. The covered back decks were also very handy to use no matter the weather. Other than the café there are no shops/pubs in walking distance so you can really switch off but you do need to plan around this. Having use of the cruiser bikes was great for trips to the beach and skate park. It was pretty humid so air con downstairs and the ceiling fans in the upstairs bedrooms made things comfy. We had a couple of communication hiccups at the start but Amelia and Hunter sorted things quickly and were very responsive. We had a great laid back beach break.
