The home was exactly as described. It was spotlessly clean and had all the amenities we needed. There is an undercover carport that made charging our electric vehicle convenient. The location was perfect. The general store was literally a 2 min walk away. It had great coffee and stacks of beautiful breads and groceries and a huge selection of gluten free options. The rye backbeach was about a 5 min walk. It was pristine and not crowded even on warm days. We did take our dog to the rye foreshore dog beach which was a six minute drive away and the kids loved that beach as much as the dog did. Overall John and Bills place was a fabulous base for our summer beach holiday and we would definitely recommend.
