home away from home

This is truly a home away from home. It is wonderfully equipped with all the little extras (like coffee percolator and glad wrap!) that you might otherwise need to bring or pop out to the shops for. We stayed here with another family (4 adults and 4 kids)for 3 nights- but never felt like we were living on top of each other- there was plenty of space with the front deck and back yard if we wanted to spread out. Fantastic quiet location, easy walking distance to shops, beaches and a lovely ride along the bike track to Pt Lonsdale. Would highly recommend this property and would not hesitate to book again. Thank you for a lovely break.
