Easter weekend
Kate was such a lovely host. The property was stunning, more then we could've hoped for. The interior is beautiful even has a projector in a room to keep the kids settled at night. The view is to die for with a gorgeous space for fun outdoor activities. Kate was super helpful and communication was absolutely on point. We cannot wait to come back!! 10/5 stars!!!!

Fabulous!
This was our first time renting this house for the weekend, and it was a fantastic experience. The view was absolutely amazing, and the sunset was nothing short of spectacular. The kitchen was well-equipped, and there were plenty of rooms with very comfortable beds.Despite the weather, we had a wonderful weekend. We were even visited by a kangaroo and a kookaburra, which made the stay feel even more special and uniquely Australian.Kate was incredibly accommodating and made us feel very welcome from the start. I would highly recommend this place to families looking for a peaceful getaway with stunning views and great amenities.Jan
