Fabulous piece of paradise

We loved our stay - 3 couples and 4 kids - this property featured two levels including 2 kitchens and 2 lounges, providing more than enough space for the extended family. Right by the beach and close to town, we enjoyed a rainy weekend with plenty of onsite parking and internal access through garage. Beds were comfortable, always had hot water, and enough space to lounge around, we were surprised by the quality of this upgraded home. Hosts Lyn and John were an absolute pleasure to deal with, and more than welcoming. Certainly one of the better homes in the Mount, and it's worth the few extra dollars for linen and towels to included. Appreciate all your help! x

This Bach was the highlight of our trip, the pictures does not do it justice, it is literally arcoss from the beach and 2 minutes from the mt. There is also a new world 5 mins walk away. Definitively booking this place again! One downside though was there was no lighting outside by the bbq area so we had to use touches

Great location, just a few steps from the beach and a 10 minute walk to great cafes and shops. The house was great for our group and the self contained upper level means complete privacy is possible for 2 small groups, or 2 families.

Fantastic location, kids loved having the beach just across the road

Fantastic location, kids loved having the beach just across the road. It was a lovely house, very clean. The kitchen equipment was a bit basic if you intend to cater for a family, but otherwise this was fitted out to a great standard. Thanks, would definitely stay again.

It´s a really nice house in a good location

It´s a really nice house in a good location. Just 1 Minute walk to the beach and close to the Mount. The next New world is in walking distance and the Bayfair Mall is just 5 minutes away by car.
