Close to town and the northern beaches via western arterial rd. Large living area with plenty of seating and everything else you need for a long stay. ##### Callum P.

The host was fantastic and made us feel welcome. The house is conveniently located close to many local shops. Overall, it was a lovely experience!. ##### Lilantha K. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Akiko T. 2 Sept 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The owner was very kind and the place is good. Bit dusty but no problem for us. If the climate get higher to use air conditioners, the owner need to clean these. We never use these because looks very dusty. However, the owner prepared everything we needed. Especially he picked us up at airport by very reasonable price. If you don’t use rental cars you can take bus. The bus stop is very close to the place. The price is only 50cents! ##### Akiko T.

Located near shops for food across the street and not far from the airport, night market and Esplanade. The host was very accommodating and ready to make your stay as best as possible! I would stay here again. ##### edna j g.

Pong pong table was a bonus and loved being able to get our washing done and dried undercover. King bed was a bit firm but others were great. Pillows were to big for us but we just got some cheap ones and left them there for the next people. Free wifi was also appreciated ##### Kylie M.

He was was easy to contact whenever we needed something, since he lives upstairs he could help out quickly. Our family stay was enjoyable and would absolutely come back to stay again. Also very affordable for spacious rooms and close to most areas to visit. ##### Kay S.

The accommodation was clean and comfortable and provided all the amenities we required (such as a kitchen and washing machine). A car is required as it is too far to walk to the Esplanade and restaurants etc although there are shops a short walk away. A great basic clean and affordable stay. ##### Rae E.

Clean sheets, aircon, a bathroom, washing machine and kitchen, with lots of room! The ping pong table was a great bonus and made evenings very fun! ##### Elizabeth O.

We really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful backyard for our dog. A few shops just across the road. A park with a stream for dogs to have a swim just a minute walk away. Clean bathroom, kitchen and rooms. And the best pricing. Would definitely stay again. ##### Laureen W.
