Extensive views
We absolutely loved this property. It has extensive views with a choice of 2 decks, both sheltered and we were very pleased to be able to holiday with our dog. She was very pleased too. The house is well appointed and comfortable and it felt like a home away from home. Thank you for sharing your holiday home with us. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Breath taking
As soon as my husband and I walked through the gate we were taken away with the view. We walked in the house and it was so cozy and we couldn’t wait to unpack our bags and crack open a cold one on the deck watching the rest of the sun going down.

Family beach break
We are four generations who try to take a trip together once a year to the beach, age range is 2yrs to 83yrs. Micheal & Bobbie’s beautiful bach was absolutely perfect, all on one level with two separate fully fenced & secure deck's, which gave us absolute peace of mind with small children. The view from each is beautiful. The bach is setup superbly, they have thought of everything. We stayed five nights , the last two, the weather decided to take a turn for the worse, but that didn’t matter as there was a fantastic selection of board games & DVD’S, so we popped a roast on in the well set up kitchen ( honestly there is everything you need in this kitchen) and settled in for a family game day. It was perfect. Thank you so much Micheal & Bobbi for allowing us to stay in your slice of paradise & for your lovely welcome gift , such a beautiful touch. We all had a wonderful break & look forward to staying again. Katrina
