casual peninsula break
This is a nice, comfortable house a short drive to the beach. I chose the option to bring my own sheets, thankfully, because I wasn't convinced the doona cover was clean.The house had a lovely covered decking area, and some attractive decor. But could use a good thorough clean.It looks like a family holiday house that is also rented out, which is OK, but if you are charging prices like that, everything should be cleaned for the guests.

End of year getaway
This holiday house had everything we needed and more! It was clean and modern with enough space for the little kids to play and for the adults to relax on comfy chairs. The only thing that bothered me was the microwave/coffee machines and dishwasher were in a separate room next to the kitchen as we prepared all of our meals. However, if you like to go out more then it’s not such a big deal. The beach was so close, just a few minutes drive, great for the youngest who still needed to get back for nap time. There were enough toys and books and tvs so that all could play or watch whatever they wanted.

A wonderful experience. Everything was perfect. All the little touches around the house made it feel like home, that probably why l felt so relaxed staying there. My biggest concern was if the bed would be to hard, it was perfect. I have back problems so that would have made my stay most uncomfortable. Every morning l would open the and enjoy the beauty of nature from the window, lying on the bed. For me that’s what I was looking for peace. Thank you Lydia and family.

Beautiful!
We loved this house! It was as we expected from the pictures. It was so warm and inviting, the furnishings were beautiful. The view of the trees from the front balcony was lovely. We stayed here for a mums' weekend away where serenity was the order of the day and we felt so relaxed at this house. It was very clean, couch was comfy. Most enjoyable.
