Great location & room for extended family
Overall a great stay & communication! Misunderstood regarding BYO linen which also meant doona covers and bath mats/ hand towels so did a quick trip to Kmart. Only other comment is the blinds in the front 2 rooms which don’t block out much light. Would be good if there was blockout blinds/ curtains. Plenty of room for 5 adults and 4 teenagers with lots of space. We stay in St Leonard’s every year and would definitely stay again. Thank you.

What a surprise
This property is a hidden gem. The photographs do not do justice to how large and spacious this place really is. The added bonus of the play shed is huge, we all loved it, not just the kids. 100% would be back here again if we return to St Leonard’s. A real diamond

Great house for large groups
Window coverings could’ve been better as lots of light coming through of a morning , we needed to replace all the batteries of the ceiling fans, one still not working after we did this. Otherwise great home with everything you need and a great location

Mouch More
Having booked this property 11 months prior, we found that our stay was a weekend of storms and heavy rain. We were worried about whether we would feel 'cooped up'. We were delighted with the outdoor covered spaces which gave us room to play, catchup, and enjoy our time together. This house was perfect for our 3 generations of family. We had an ever-so-windy walk to the pier and along the sand beach while the rain was taking a break.

time with grand children
we were all happy with the house and all it provided. only negative was inappropriate window coverings, so could not block light out which made it unpleasant. Enjoyed the provided board games and spaciousness. fold out beds were too squeaky. thank you for sharing your house with us.

A lovely stay
Had a lovely stay, plenty of room for all of us. Great for dogs lots of under cover and plenty of space for 3 cars and a boat. Kids and Adults love the play sheds. Very clean, great range of kitchen accessories. Two bath rooms make life very easy. The only thing was a bit of a pain was there are just to many yuckers and can be a big problem for children and pets. The fire pit is also a bit of a hazard as well. Over all the house is just lovely and I do reckon mend if you are thinking of hire a house with a large family this house offers you everything that you will need.
