My family spent a wonderful weekend away at the Hillside Torquay property. The house is modern, comfortable and spacious, and was perfect for my extended family (8 adults and 4 kids).
The gaming room was great - the table tennis table and billiard table kept the big and little kids thoroughly entertained throughout. The 3 living areas were fantastic - the sitting room with the fireplace was very popular in the chilly mornings and late night chats, and the back rumpus ended up being used as a man cave/office.
The pantry is stocked with basics that you never remember to bring, but always need (e.g. oil, spices), the coffee machine was a lovely touch too.
In terms of the property location, Woolies is a short 4 minute drive away via the back streets which was very convenient. Across the road are some basketball courts and open spaces which was great - we brought our own basketball and inline skates for the kids, but there were also basketballs available at the property. We didn't really venture out anywhere else due to the weather, but we were all quite content staying inside for the majority of our stay.
Maureen was a fantastic host and was prompt in responding to my queries and requests throughout the process. We hope to stay at Hillside Torquay again in future. :)
