Reviewer Comments: I had a wonderful holiday at the property, which was spacious, beautiful, had stunning views and a great layout. Clean, comfortable beds and couches. Convenient to everything with a short walk. Frequent visits (and songs) from the local bird life!I would say the only negatives were related to conflicting photos on the website I booked through, as there were current and prior to renovation photos, so it was difficult to understand what to expect on arrival (but this has since been rectified). Also I booked the whole house and found on arrival, that they were separate, so you had to go outside to access the 1 bedroom apartment from the main house. Not a huge issue for me, but could be problematic for families.I'd go back for sure! ##### Rebecca S.

Reviewer Comments: We had a great week at Gaagal lookout. The house is fabulous and the view just stunning. Cleanliness was definitely not up to standard, however, and we needed to purchase our own basic supplies in town (tea, coffee, salt, pepper, washing up liquid, loo roll etc) ##### Julie K.

Reviewer Comments: Location was great, right next to the beach with an amazing view ButHouses general cleanliness was not up to par with the prices charged, neither was the bedding/linen etc, loungeroom AC mouldy, need to clean under furniture (which no one seems to do?), lolly wrappers and lollipo sticks in kids, half bag of lollies (opened) on top of kitchen cupboardNo actual place to park aside from the street without blocking neighbours behind was annoying for daily trips etcThe fact the upper and lower parts of the house aren't actually joined, as in you need to walk up the drive to get between the two (sold to us as a 3 bedroom, yet it was a 2 bed upper and a separated 1 bed lower) which meant with a 6 month old and a 3 year old we could only use the top and not sleep downstairs as intended ##### Matthew L. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Fairmont-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h522363.Hotel-Information) > > [Melia Alicante](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alicante-Hotels-Melia-Alicante.h15956.Hotel-Information) > > [Kangaroo Island Wilderness Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Karatta-Hotels-Kangaroo-Island-Wilderness-Retreat.h2041654.Hotel-Information) > > [By The Sea Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-By-The-Sea-Port-Douglas.h3024406.Hotel-Information) > > [Heritage Trail Lodge Margaret River](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Margaret-River-Hotels-Heritage-Trail-Lodge-Margaret-River.h9624427.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Ningaloo Reef Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Coral-Bay-Hotels-Ningaloo-Reef-Resort.h4257765.Hotel-Information) > > [Lilianfels Resort & Spa - Blue Mountains](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Lilianfels-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h872.Hotel-Information) > > [Torquay Foreshore Caravan Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Torquay-Foreshore-Caravan-Park.h6001296.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Hunter Valley Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pokolbin-Hotels-Mercure-Resort-Hunter-Valley-Gardens.h1877968.Hotel-Information) > > [Mandalay Luxury Beachfront Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Mandalay-Luxury-Beachfront-Apartments.h2648804.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lost Camel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yulara-Hotels-The-Lost-Camel.h4805954.Hotel-Information) > > [Ozone Hotel Kangaroo Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kingscote-Hotels-Aurora-Ozone-Hotel.h2737459.Hotel-Information) > > [Rochester Riverside Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Rochester-Riverside-Caravan-Park.h65341713.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Mirage-Resort.h8065.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Havant](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Havant-Hotels.d4651.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Club Wyndham Airlie Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Club-Wyndham-Airlie-Beach.h2802992.Hotel-Information) > > [Bannisters Port Stephens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Soldiers-Point-Hotels-Bannisters-Port-Stephens.h27355893.Hotel-Information) > > [Exmouth Escape Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exmouth-Hotels-Exmouth-Escape-Resort.h4032424.Hotel-Information) > > [Glamping at Truffle Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gretna-Hotels-Truffle-Lodge.h22239606.Hotel-Information) > > [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) > > [The Carrington Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-The-Carrington-Hotel.h474003.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Resort Torquay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Wyndham-Resort-Torquay.h1927122.Hotel-Information) > > [Coral Sea Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Coral-Sea-Marina-Resort.h1047180.Hotel-Information) > > [Heron Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Heron-Island-Hotels-Heron-Island-Resort.h1636471.Hotel-Information) > > [Worcester Whitehouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worcester-Hotels-Worcester-Whitehouse.h18498.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monkey-Mia-Hotels-RAC-Monkey-Mia-Dolphin-Resort.h2650828.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from St. Peter (JER) to Bishop's Stortford (STN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/jer/stn/jersey-to-london)
