Fabulous piece of paradise
We loved our stay - 3 couples and 4 kids - this property featured two levels including 2 kitchens and 2 lounges, providing more than enough space for the extended family. Right by the beach and close to town, we enjoyed a rainy weekend with plenty of onsite parking and internal access through garage.
Beds were comfortable, always had hot water, and enough space to lounge around, we were surprised by the quality of this upgraded home.
Hosts Lyn and John were an absolute pleasure to deal with, and more than welcoming.
Certainly one of the better homes in the Mount, and it's worth the few extra dollars for linen and towels to included. Appreciate all your help! x
