The house is in a great location. A quiet area but only a short walk down to Two Mile Bay. The house was well equiped with a nice lounge and modern bathrooms and kitchen. We didn’t need to use the outdoor self contained sleep out but it looked nice also. It also had a very large section which looked great for back yard cricket :-) ##### Andrew S.

Thanks for making your place available, the house was a perfect spacious holiday home to relax in, with good outdoor space. We had everything we needed and more. Great furnishings, decor, comfy beds and gorgeous bathrooms. The kitchen was great and had everything and more that we could want. The sleepiut was well setup and comfy. Location was ideal with the sailing club restaurant just a few minutes walk away. Dealing with the owner was a breeze, thank you for making everything so easy for our stay, already recommending the house to our friends. ##### David C.
