Wonderful location
We really rate this property as top notch. Quiet and very spacious. It is a wonderful place to rest and recover from our touch national competition. It has all that we required and being next to a cossie club with such friendly community it was a pleasure to meet such nice people. The beach was great for our recovery and so relaxing with beautiful views.

Fantastic family get together
It was such an incredible week. The house was huge and well equipped, right opposite beach. The house is well built and so warm. We had the fires on most nights and didn’t need to have our jumpers on lol. Just a perfect week really, huge window overlooking the beach access, saw the horses and their riders all going to and fro from beach. All the dog walkers.

Sunny team getaway escape
Lovely sunny spot for a team getaway. Even in early winter the place was warm with enough heaters for the bedrooms and a beautiful fire place in the main living area. This lounge was also large enough for us to comfortably hold a team workshop session during the day. Only downside to our whole stay was the sink didn't drain well after doing the dishes. Otherwise highly recommend for larger groups
