The house is very well appointed and had almost everything we needed. We enjoyed he outdoor garden and BBQ area too and there was plenty of room for our dog to explore. Access to table tennis and a dart board in the garage was a nice bonus. The home is walking distance to the beach, walking tracks and local shops which made it a terrific holiday for our family. ##### Angela T. Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Deni F. 17 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We really enjoyed our stay at Driftwood. This is a lovely little compact house and great backyard for our dogs. It's set back one street away from the beach and was a really quiet area, so very relaxing. The house was modern and clean. It was great to have the tv with Netflix and we enjoyed the table tennis and darts. The only thing we would have loved to have was a Nespresso coffee pod machine. ##### Deni F.
