Reviewer Comments: A comfy homely well equipped space for a family of 5 and grandparents to spend long weekend. It was a rainy weekend so the large deck was so roomy and comfortable made all the difference in the wet weather. Great location short walk to beach.Some safety issues...maintenance needed to rotting stairs to deck and no handrail which was dangerous especially when wet.General cleanliness was disappointing ##### Marlene H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Will T. 26 Nov 2018 #### Clean, well appointed, comfortable The cottage is clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with full kitchen, laundry, two baths, TV, etc. The sleeping arrangements are ideal for a family inc. with young kids. The location is convenient- easy walk to everywhere in Hat Head We hired linen rather than bring our own- R&R Linen Hire in SW Rocks were great, they made the beds up and everything.

Reviewer Comments: The property exceeded my expectations, it was roomy and had plenty of space for my teens to sprawl out when it rained. Loved having 2 bathrooms and access to store bikes in the garage out of the rain.Needed help to get into the property due to miscommunication... the lock box is on the front porch, don't try to use the broken one on the back porch! The agents responded quickly via the emergency mobile number which was very much appreciated!Would definitely book this property again. It met all our needs. ##### Alyssa R. ### 6/10 Okay #### Joe D. 8 Jun 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Balanced View Property well supplied with cutlery, utensils, bags etc. Quiet location. Property is fairly clean in main areas (kitchen, b'rooms, lounge). Previous tenant left us two unwashed frypans in the cupboard. The house furnishings are dated and cobwebs over windows and outdoor verandah area. No BBQ as stated in description. It's a 2 bedroom cottage with the upstairs open to all the activity downstairs so if you have early risers make them stay in the loft and you stay in the bottom bedroom which has a door. ##### Joe D.
