Catching the views and morning sunlight from the front sitting area to settling into the evenings at the fire pit. Playing pool or singing along with party lights flashing on the back entertainment area. Only negative we didn’t stay longer ##### Sonia M. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Emily G. 18 May 2025 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Overpriced and poorly maintained We were really looking forward to our stay in Port Macquarie however this property fell very short of our expectations. The house was huge and perfect for a large family of our size however it was very poorly maintained and therefore not worth the price we paid at all. The property didnt appear to have been cleaned properly prior to our arrival as there were cobwebs and spiders in the bedrooms, the bath was filthy, there were dirty plates and utensils in the kitchen cupboards and the carpets did not appear to have been vacuumed. Aswell as this, the blinds in the media room and one of the bedrooms were broken so I couldn't even block out light for my baby to sleep. There were not enough towels put out for the number of guests nor were there even hand towels in the bathroom (they were in a laundry cupboard downstairs however we had to go hunting for them). There were no basic amendments such as olive oil, salt, pepper, dishwashing liquid or even hand soap in the bathroom. I reached out to our host Shona about a large number of these items on day one of our stay however was met wish put back or just simply ignored. e.g. her response to their being no hand soap in the bathroom was "we do not provide hand soap" (then why was there hand soap in the bathroom with about 2 pumps left - either remove it if you don't intend to supply hand soap or refill it). I will not be staying at this property again. ##### Emily G.

Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth N. 7 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great house for several families with kids We were so happy with our stay. The 4 pairs of parents had their own rooms upstairs and the bunk room downstairs was great for all of the cousins to stay together. The teenagers loved the bunk room with their own loungeroom and access to the pool table and table tennis table. The beautiful deck off the kitchen was great for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The deck was also great bbq’s and socialising as a large group. We also loved toasting marshmallows over the fire pit. There were so many lounge areas that we never felt like we were cramped. The owners were so responsive with communication and if we had an issue attended to it immediately. Even though the property isn’t right in town or on the beach nothing was more than a 10 minute drive. The house backs onto a nature reserve so we constantly had kangaroos and a variety of birds near our back fence which the little kids loved. The yard is fully fenced so we also felt like the little ones were safe as there was so much grass area for them to run around. The teenagers rode their bikes down to the big park with pump track 2 streets away and loved it. The photos don’t do it justice! We will definitely be coming back here again! ##### Elizabeth N.
