(We had booked with another couple who had to pull out at the last minute). It is very comfortable with a great outdoor BBQ area and a separate games room at the back to keep the kids occupied. Very family friendly and only 10 minutes walk to beach or main shopping centre. ##### Peter W.

We took our grandson and he was very happy with the games room. There was everything we needed suppled and everything is in good condition. The only negative was cleanliness was poor. We had to wash pots, fry pans, plates, coffee mugs and cutlery. We only wash what we were going to use as nearly everything was dirty. The guests before us should be ashamed but the cleaners hired to clean are obviously not doing the job they are paid to do. There was twisties on thelounge floor a choc chip biscuit as well as lolly wrappers. Our grandson stood on a chess peice that was in the pile of the rug and cut his foot. We would recommend this property to others and if the cleaners get a rocket up their you know what a great place to stay. ##### Robert H.
