We loved sharing dinner on the deck/verandah together whilst the kids ran around the garden or played in the cubby/slide. We saw a Koala on a tree in the garden and had stunning views! Kitchen/bathrooms all modern and clean, excellent working order. Only thing is a bedside light would’ve been handy in the kids room but next time we go away we will pack our night lights! Lovely holiday in a wonderful place, we enjoyed nearby beach and pub too. Thanks for having us. ##### Katherine F.
