May holiday.
Mostly fine the house was great, would have been good if it had been a bit better cleaned a lot of dust on skirtings and sweet wrappers around couch cushions, in drawers etc. No toilet cleaning soap or cloths wipes and when staying there there for 10 days felt this was needed.Also lockbox was at the back, good if this was expressed in info re bach also to enter from the back as front door could get damaged by trying to get in with wood there.

Lovely Bach
This bach is a perfect place to stay. Quiet street, lovely neighbours, easy and close to shops, beach, pump track and play ground. Really nice layout of the house. We really enjoyed our stay. There is a great big sand sune to the left of the surf club for boogy boarding down. Heaps of fun!

50 Driftwood Place Review
The property was very clean and tidy and had personal notes from the owner. Check-in was fairly effortless and the reminder emails beforehand were helpful.Lovely thought to put a chocolate cake in the freezer for us however it was mouldy! A few things that made our stay less enjoyable: noisy neighbours, the springs on the couch were very worn, there was no wifi (these days it would be good to specifically point out if no wifi) and by stating the house was “pet-friendly” we assumed that meant some form of fencing of which there was none. Overall our stay was pleasant however we encourage that you please point out to future guests the things they won’t have so that they are prepared i.e wifi,fence,washing machine,dishwasher or extended water use.
