Also plenty of amenities. Unfortunately the decor was very dated and worn. There were no curtains or blinds in the lounge which left the whole room exposed (not ideal as people slept in there) and the neighbours liked looking in at us! We were expecting it to be a bit run down as it was stated but it definitely needs some work done to tidy it up and make it more comfortable. ##### Anja W. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter H. 29 Dec 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Xmas at the beach The location of this property is great. You can see the beach, and its about 100 metres to walk there. Plus right next to handy set of shops (dairy etc). Weather was good and our plan for a family Xmas at the beach with BBQ, cricket, surfing etc. all came together. Property is getting a bit worn inside (1970's decor) but everything works. We had 5 to 7 people (all adults) staying depending on the day, and there is adequate of room for that many. ##### Peter H. ### 8/10 Good #### Robyn H. 9 Dec 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Location Great Location if you are wanting to base yourself at the Mount.
