Very clean, comfortable and spacious house. A true beach house - not fancy, precious, modern or renovated but something you feel is genuinely used as a beach house, where you can be comfortable and relaxed. Landscaped back yard with excellent undercover deck. Under house games room (not accessible by internal stairs but by outdoor stairs to the main part of the house).
Scott and Pauline supply everything at the house and it was wonderful to not have to bring linen, beach towels etc. We had a wild weather girls' weekend, house was very cosy. Made use of the heater, games, coffee machine, washing machine, back deck (remarkably dry in hurricane-like storms!) and beach towels for the hot springs. Couldn't figure out the TV - most likely because I am not good at technology - but we didn't need it.
A word of warning, the driveway and stairs up to the house are very steep. Was very grateful to be able to bring our senior dog, who had a wonderful time, but he found it a little difficult to get up the steps to the house (he didn't brave the steps from the deck up to the outdoors part of the back yard). Probably wouldn't suit an elderly person and would be a bit challenging with very young children.
I had never stayed in Tootgarook before, what a pretty suburb! Mostly older beach houses with a lovely homey feel, lots of tea-tree, small Avenues and Courts, people quietly doing their gardening and enjoying the amenity. Nice to be away from the hustle and bustle of Rye and other popular hot spots.
