The house was lovely and clean when we arrived (A lot of the furnishings felt very new and well maintained) , which is always such a great start to a holiday and the front room is so well decorated so as you walk in the front door you really want to just settle into a sofa with a good book. The house also has a shower which we hadn't noticed in the pics or in the description, but which was very welcome surprise.
Whilst we didn't have the family putting competition we had threatened our teen with, we did enjoy the opportunity to practice.
The house is also in a great location to explore Rye , its away from the beach - but the beach is still very easy to get to, which means you can take a break from all the people and so close to the Peninsula Pantry (which after scientific taste testing a LOT of places) we agreed has the best Vanilla Slice on the Peninsula. We spent time at beaches and then retreating to the house. The only very slight downside to the house location for a light sleeper is the Melbourne Rd - trafffic can start at 5am in busy periods and two of the bedrooms are on that side of the house. The house is set back from the road with trees acting as a bit of a noise dampener but some noise does carry. (There's nothing the owners can do about this, so its certainly not a comment on the house or the owners - more an FYI)
Overall we loved our stay here
