Great location
Was a great location, was clean and tidy, fitted our 6 adults well. Unfortunately someone had stayed before us so bins were very full, but we could leave our rubbish bags near the bin. We needed to bring our own sheets and towels etc as well as clean up before we left, as there is a list of things to do on departure. Which was fine as we left it in better condition than we walked in. With 6 people for 3 nights 2 toilet rolls did not go far, so we had to buy that aswell. We need

Excellent value for money !
Mel Vedere holiday home was an absolute pleasure to stay in for our 3 nights whilst attending a Surf Boat Carnival. It was very comfortable and homely. Location was perfect as we were able to walk to our beach event, and the multiple places to eat was amazing. Do yourself a favour and stay at Mel Vedere as you won't be disappointed for your $$$$$$.

HOLIDAY HOUSE
We found the house to need a good clean the light in hall wasn't working the toaster wasn't working properly smoke came out of it. The shower was slippery and dangerous. To pay 300 a night and be told all around the house in each room to clean it before leaving is ridiculous. It was a 3-bedroom house with one room locked and 2 single beds in the lounge which made it hard for the kids to go to sleep if the adults wanted stay up and talk. Needs up dating. Beds where ok but the bedroom near back door needs a blind as sun was in the room early each morning. Would I recommend it no.And it needs the flick man as there was cockroaches!

Functional and handy
A perfectly functional and clean cottage, handy walk to village with restaurants and supermarket. The property description recommended the 2 single beds were best suited for children, and we can confirm this is so, unless you are short adult. But we were desperate for accommodation for an event, so we took it anyway. No real complaints - except for a shortage of power points in every room except the kitchen, and absence of wi-fi, so if you take a power board and can hot-spot off your phone, you should be fine, because you're on holiday and should be out and about, not on devices, right? Good spaces for storing outdoor equipment in the backyard, and one off road car space behind gates. A bit of passing foot traffic and road traffic noise in front bedroom. But nothing that really disturbed.
