Beautiful home, brilliant get away!

Our extended family group of 11 had a wonderful four day stay at Blue Tide. Jon and Belinda were terrific to deal with and have a beautiful home. They have thought of everything you need for a fabulous stay. Very well appointed kitchen, spacious and comfortable living and dining areas, 4 queen bed rooms and a bunk room for the kids, 3 bathrooms. And so much in-house fun - pool table, loads of games, books, DVDs, X box, Wii and a wonderful outdoor area. Everyone loved the pool, the kids especially spent hours playing in there. The house is in close proximity to shops, supermarket and indoor aquatic centre. The beach is a short drive away. We loved our stay and would do it again in a heart beat. Highly recommend!

Wonderful few days spent at the house for family celebration

Thanks for a wonderful few days spent in ocean grove house to celebrate my parents anniversary. With 5 kids under 10 the house had sufficient room for everyone and enough space to be alone if you wanted to. The pool was amazing as it heated to 29 degrees so kids still swam when it wasn’t hot.
