We stayed at Rod's place for a family weekend away in Rye. The location is perfect- about 5 minutes away from front and back beaches, close to peninsula hot springs, shops, restaurants and anything else you may need. The house comfortablely fit our group which included my husband, 3 kids and in laws. It has great amenities that your family may need such as kitchen, laundry, high chair, BBQ, fire pit, spa bath, and plently of seating. Will definitely book again.
