Enclosed backyard. Position: great. Short walk to small supermarket, cafe, pharmacy, bottle-o. 15min to beach/playground. Right on the bus route so no car needed. Amenities: standard bedding & towels, no beach towels (surprisingly). Pool has shallow areas for kids. Plenty of kitchen utensils/ crockery/glassware. Lots of fans, good ventilation, didn't try the aircon. Handy having a washing machine. We would definitely stay again! ##### Lauren C.

A great affordable family home. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare and cook a great Christmas lunch/dinner. There was even a Christmas tree and some decorations. (much better than the miniature one I had packed in my suitcase) Plenty of room for a family of seven. The only thing we were missing were some beach towels, or some extra towels for the pool. Thanks for having us. We had a great Christmas! :) ##### Rebecca W.
