We had 4 families with young children living in the house. A big plus was there were tons of beds in the bedrooms which made for a comfortable stay. We had a big cookout for Christmas and really appreciated the complete kitchen and having lots of plates, bowls, glasses and cups. The good quality dishwasher also really helped with the cleaning up. The children enjoyed playing in the big garden. The location of the house was great, just a short drive to the Rye foreshore playground, beaches and shops. The host was accommodating and was very helpful.
