We had our dog with us the garden is fully enclosed so that was peace of mind. ##### Louise G. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Victoria V. 11 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Cosy Beach Accomodation A great little cottage style house, located conveniently close to MacMasters Beach and Copacabana. The house is exactly as the photos depict and it was a great little place to stay while we enjoyed our summer holiday relaxing and taking part in local activities. The house is well equipped with necessities and a few little extras to help make your stay comfortable. A few things to be aware: - The place is located in surround dense bush and insects, spiders and bugs are terrible. The house did have quite a few cobwebs inside in EVERY room and we frequently killed spiders including on the bedheads and near bedside tables. The house needs a pest spray. No fresh air can circulate due to pests entering through deteriorating flyscreens. - The water pressure is quite low and makes it difficult to wash sand out in the outside shower and bathroom shower. It’s noticeable when using taps in the kitchen and laundry area too. - It does get quite hot during summer evenings and the bedroom fans do not work. Aircon isn’t available in the bedrooms. - Poor security with front and back door locks which can be easily opened by children or broken into. - Property is managed by Beach Retreats (not Stayz), so our payments were debited within 5 days of each other conflicting to what was advertised on the Stayz website. ##### Victoria V.
