This old quaint weatherboard house sits in a lovely huge garden setting 2 minutes from town. As long as you are ok with a menagerie of native birds visiting along with a koala and possums, the setting is quiet and peaceful. The huge deck gives expansive views of the town, coast and ocean and the living area is very spacious. Our grandchildren loved it of course. The amenities are old but serviceable and for a large family group you need a roster for the washing up. The old cast iron baths with showers over are quaint but could be an issue with anyone with mobility problems. Sadly in our opinion, there are some urgent issues that need addressing regarding the workings of the windows and lack and repair of flyscreens as the house heats up in the hot sunny weather and the bedrooms become somewhat oppressive. The lounge is well serviced with flyscreened doors but on sunny days, the large exposed windows quickly heat up the living area. Large pedestal fans were provided in all rooms. I am sure the house would be cosy and comfortable in the cooler months especially using the wood fired stove and lounge heater. Having said all that, the house was reasonably priced for the time of year, but could be so much better with a bit of time and money spent on the external fabric of the building. The host was very responsive with a barbecue issue and replacing two very out of date smoke alarms that decided to go off at 1 o'clock in the morning. That should be a timely reminder for all Airbnb hosts to do the checks each year and not just rely on replacing the batteries. The consequences could be fatal.
