Great to keep our dog locked in the yard to play. ##### kim r.

Really easy to check in and so close to the beach and local wallaby. The art on the wall in front bedroom was a surprise - I liked reading about the history of it but didn't love the feeling of the room, just personal preference. One of the single beds in the other front room is super squeaky so no-one slept on that one but everything else fantastic. Thanks for a great stay. ##### BECKY T.

It is really neat and tidy has great kitchen with all the things you need. I loved being able to access the beach from a nearby lane to walk the dog. The GOP bedroom and history of the house was a surprise. The kids found it a bit spooky and opted to share the other bedroom. ##### Di B.

The yard was good, but wasn't very secure for our dogs, the gap under the gate was too big, so they couldn't be left alone. We couldn't all go out together as a family without out taking the dogs, so that limited some family time. ##### Prue K.
