This is a very large house with a great pool.
It is not a luxury house, and it is not the "finest". It is family friendly. Almost every surface is marked.
There is plenty of space - we had 2 adult couples, an infant and another adult, and we were able to spread out and have plenty of space. There is a guest retreat downstairs, in addition to the master bedroom upstairs, so our parents were able to get some quiet time away from everyone.
The kitchen has all the required implements for cooking well, but some of the appliances are ancient. Furniture througout the house is sparse, worn and stained.
The headline for the property when we booked was "finest family home". We were expecting a luxury property, as we have come to expect in this price range. However, the property simply requires work. Judging by the garden, the photos are at least 5 years old and mostly wide angle lens. A more accurate description would be large, family friendly home.
We found that we had to drive everywhere from this location. There is a great cafe at the Jan Juc shops, and Peaches at Torquay is excellent for fruit, vegetables and some meat. There is a nice boardwalk along a nearby creek that is easily accessed on foot from the house.
Communication with the host was excellent.
The highlight of the property is the pool, which is heated and excellent. Even on days when the air temperature was 20-22 degrees we found the pool hot enough to swim in - when we wouldn't even consider going in at one of the neaby beaches.
If you have a couple of families with a bunch of kids, this may be the perfect property for you.
