Fun Family Getaway

Comfortable home needing some maintenance. Off street parking was difficult to access with large vehicles and not appropriate for a boat. Only one toilet located in the bathroom which became difficult to navigate at times. A clothes dryer would be handy in cooler weather. Overall a great stay.

Delightful cottage in excellent Ocean Grove location

Delightful, well appointed cottage just a short walk from the river, the surf beach and the Ocean Grove shops. Perfect spot for a relaxing beachside holiday. North facing deck captured the sun and was ideal for long lunches, evening drinks and relaxing with a book. Attractively decorated house had everything needed for stress free holiday.
