Beautiful location - fall asleep to the sound of the waves, and wake to the birds. Perfect position on the beach, yet private due to the elevation. We were 2 separate adults and three teenagers and the space worked beautifully. I imagine it may be a bit cramped with 9 if the weather was inclement as there is only one indoor living space but if the weather is fine (as it was for us) there is plenty of room. We really enjoyed the beach, the kayaks & the nearby bushwalks. The house was very well stocked with everything we needed.
