The Outlook is a cozy place in a very quiet back street. The loudest thing here was the possum party that sometimes happens in the roof!
It comfortably fit our family group (all adults) and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed - great oven!
The dining and lounge spaces were comfortable and suited us well.
The bedrooms were cozy, with good light, comfy beds and good quality bedding. Not all rooms had screens though, so use the bug spray if you sleep with an open window. The shared bathroom is very clean and the shower is great. Main bedroom has an ensuite and a little walk in robe. It’s an older model than the new shared bathroom but was clean and neat.
There are some stairs (about ten) leading up to the house, but they are well lit. My grandmother handled them fine but they may not be ok for everyone.
The back deck doesn’t have a sea view but does overlook a nice big garden, great for supervising kids if you have them. It’s got a table and chairs and is sunny and private.
Tv and lounge area was good, Netflix and wifi worked well. The fam enjoyed the pool table and darts in the garage downstairs.
The beach is about a ten minute brisk walk- or a short drive. It’s a pretty quiet beach and doesn’t have the large amounts of boats and seados you find closer to Rye.
The shops are a walkable distance, about twenty minutes, but I wouldn’t recommend it at night as these back streets are very dark. You’ll be better off with a car here.
This part of the peninsula is great, close to back and front beaches and lots to do.
