Diane was simply lovely to deal with - great communications and very helpful. The house was comfortable and compact with all the basics we needed to have an enjoyable holiday, including many thoughtful additions. Piano was a bonus (two players in our family) with many pretty Christmas decorations specially put out for our enjoyment. Bathroom was clean and modern. Laundry facilities were great. Split system in the living room worked well, with airflow directed towards all the bedrooms so you could heat/cool the whole house easily. Large-screen Smart TV and Wi-Fi worked well and were really easy to use - Kids loved watching Netflix and ABC iView of course. We made good use of both the indoor and outdoor dining areas. There was also an outdoor shower and BBQ down one side of the house, which we never used, but I can imagine some families would find these helpful. Nice sized garden for kids to run around in with a lockable gate. It took us about 15 minutes to get to the back beach with our kids and only a two-minute drive to the front beach. Diane wasn't returning till the day after we were leaving so she generously offered us a very late check-out. A relaxing, pleasant place to stay!
