We stayed at Ruud's place for two weeks with three kids (8, 7, and 5) in Jan. It was a fantastic place exactly as described by Ruud. The kids loved the pool and the trampoline. Ruud was very responsive to immediately fixing the faulty pool heater. The house was clean (kitchen, fridge, bathrooms, etc) and the beds were very comfortable. More than enough towels were provided, so using the pool was very easy. The house is close to Bondi beach, but not very close in terms of walking especially if you are traveling with kids, so we ended up using the pool rather than going to the beach. The sofas, tables and chairs, gas oven, and pans were a bit tired, and some outdoor chairs were broken, but this is already in Ruud's description. Perhaps my only minor complaint was the bbq, which was not in a usable condition. Overall I am very happy that I stayed at Ruud's house and will definitely visit again!
