The Property
Pro
- Very unique and quirky place
- Well equiped with quality appliances
- Well stocked with kitchen, bathroom and laundry basics
- Super great location in easy walking distance to beach and ferry
- Lots of games, drawing material for kids and books for adults
- Liz was super communicative and helpful
- The house has a playful character which my kids really liked exploring
Con
- A house is being built next door. I would recommend checking on the progress of this before booking as we had painters outside the kitchen window for a few days and some construction noise. If you book the holiday to get away from it all and have peace and quiet, double check first.
- My kids were excited when I showed them the picture of the cubby/tree house on the property and subsequently disappointed that it wasn't safe to actually go on and they couldn't play there. Generally there are a few things around that don't make it a great garden for kids to play in (like large metal sheets that seem to have been discarded)
- If your kids are little, consider that there are very steep stairs in the house to both the bathroom and the bedrooms. My older kids were 5 and 7 and were totally fine and in fact loved that it was a hosue they could "explore"
Overall I would definitely come here again, as this is a family home to book for a few days and it has a genuine warmth to it.
