If you are thinking of booking a stay at kalmd then do yourself a favour and just go ahead and do it. The views are amazing and accessible from many places throughout the house. The sound of the ocean is incredible and an excellent soundtrack to your stay, along with the birdsong from the abundant bird life that calls the property home.
The house itself is very comfortable with a well stocked wood pile for the fireplace on a cooler evening or afternoon. The kitchen has everything you need for meal prep and serving. The furnishing in the living areas looks great whilst also being very comfortable, a nice spot to sit and look at the view or read a book next to the fire. The adirondack chairs on the deck are well positioned to take in the full view.
I think that others have said this in their reviews but it is worth reiterating that photos cannot do the views justice. Including views at the back of the house of the surrounding hills. You also have a great sense of privacy and seclusion at the property.
We travelled with our dog, a medium sized spoodle, and there is a good fence around the house that provided loads of space for him to play around in and have a good sniff, with loads of space for him to run and chase a ball.
Louise is an excellent host. She was great to communicate with. She was very proactive in reaching out ahead of the stay with very clear instructions on access etc, and just checking in once we had arrived. She was also very understanding and supportive of a need to reschedule our original booking from August as a result of lockdown, and accepting of the uncertainty of when restrictions would eventually allow Melbournians to travel to the regions and how that may impact on any rescheduling.
So to reiterate, a great house, an excellent location, book it, you won't be disappointed.
