The layout of the home suited our family needs perfectly.We enjoyed a lovely Christmas break together and was able to visit the beaches nearby. Having the pool table was fun while the little one had his afternoon naps.Thank you, Tracey, for answering our questions and been accommodating to our needs.
Had a lovely time at investigator street encounter bay . Views are amazing and plenty of room for everyone . Tracey’s communication was fantastic . Good property .
Nice, well-appointed family home in great position; depending on fitness level, easy distance for a stroll to foreshore/cafe, hike up the Bluff, and run to Victor Harbor. Lovely views across the Bay. Well-equipped with everything necessary, and everything works. The hostess is friendly and easy to contact.
Things you need to know:
*Cooking utensils are in a hidden drawer inside the cutlery drawer. (We did not find this for a few days :)).
*While the adult beds are double-sized, the quilts can vary in size up to king. I recommend taking two flat sheets to cover the quilts rather than trying to stuff a quilt into a too-small cover.
*There's not a lot of storage space for clothes, particularly in the children's rooms. Perhaps the hosts can remove some of the extra bedding from the wardrobes? It would be nicer than living for a week out of a suitcase.
* The beds are very firm. If you prefer some 'give' maybe bring a mattress topper.
Great house for family stay. Very well equipped kitchen, 3 big comfy couches, and comfy beds. Location excellent and amazing views. We absolutely enjoyed our time here. The pool table was a great bonus. Tracey our host could not have been more helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend.
For good and not so great:
Good: Excellent location v close to boat ramp. Great views. Plenty of parking on front lawn. Beds comfortable. Facilities excellent. Communications to/from host was great. Very obliging and happy to help.
Not so great: Freezers were in use. We were there for a fishing comp and freezers are an issue.
Showers are over bathtubs. (Upstairs bathroom did not have an anti-slip mat) Narrow, steep internal stairs. Neither of these are an issue if you know about them.
Front lawn is on a reasonable slope to the street. If parking a trailer take wheel chocks! Again, not a problem if you know about it.
Bottom line (the one that counts): Had a great weekend and would come back again. Thanks Tracey.
