Great location and view but minor issues to do with the age of the property
I am going to sound very critical of this property but it was a very impressive house and we enjoyed our stay. It was great for the entire family of six with three bedrooms upstairs and two down stairs. There is a large smart tv in the main living area with the usual tv stations and all the apps you could want. But the view is the big draw card here.
The house next door is now built and takes up its entire block but you can still see the sea over its roof. There is a clear view towards the back of the house to the beach and the headland. However, there are a lot of stairs to climb both inside and out. The driveway is steep and on the higher level of the property. So, you need to climb down steps to get to other side of the property in order to climb steps into the house (keep this in mind when packing).
The beds were a bit old and not supportive enough for me (waking each morning with a backache). The base of the bed is wider than the top so you need to get over a wooden shelf to get out of it. I started to get used to it by the end of our stay.
The pool table had a rip in it so we couldn’t use it and one of the steps leading up to the property had loose tiles on it. There was no condition report for the property when arriving so hopefully we don’t get blamed for other people’s damage.
I have pointed out all of these negatives because some would be easy to fix. The ones that can’t be fixed can be forgotten when you see the view and the renovated living space.
