The house is as pictured, although in reality it is bigger than the pictures give credit. Rose is an excellent host, any problems and she responds to messages very quickly. The pool is a great bonus, our kids loved it. The area is great, very quiet at night. It's also close to everything you need, and not far to a lovely beach at Altona. We hired a car and there was no problem parking at the property. The local shops are within walking distance.
