Wow. Just wow. I was looking for a place that would be able to easily house 8 adults, be close to a beach, secluded enough so we weren't annoying neighbours, and allow our beautiful dogs! This place had it all - and MORE!!
Firstly, I wasn't expecting much at all. I know I was asking for a lot, so I didn't expect to have my expectations smashed! We arrived late at night (thanks again for your generosity Jilliann!), we were greeted by a huge bungalow. So much space to easily sleep 8 adults and a baby, beautiful deck, a BBQ (which we used on our last night! Fantastic!), ample amount of chairs, vast collection of DVDs, CD's and board games (looking at you Game of Thrones Monopoly)! The kitchen was stocked with any and everything you could ever need to cook, bake or whip up food. Heaps of plates, bowls, cups, glasses, condiments and other odds and ends to add to your cooking. We spent a lot of our time on the deck playing board games, or in the lounge watching movies and chatting. When we went to bed, we all agreed they were the comfiest beds imaginable! So plush and soft, warm blankets and fluffed pillows.
On the first day we walked to the beach - a less than 10min walk. Jilliann even sent us some tips about a market happening that day. If we weren't so lazy, we probably would've gone! Next time perhaps :) An IGA, a kids park, and petrol station is nearby too! On our last night we had a little bonfire outside and toasted marshmallows while we swapped ghost stories.
I could probably go on and on about this little treasure. Before booking a place, I spend so much time reading reviews. Trust me when I say you will be pleasantly surprised by this little treasure in the heart of the bush. Peaceful, tranquil, watching the wallabies outside the window. We had the best time in years here at Dale's Bungalow.
Thank you for hosting us Jilliann. Can't wait to come back and make even more memories xxx
