Very nice but

This house is very comfortable and the view is wonderful. Wagstaffe is probably among the best parts of the overpopulated central coast but many would forgive that for the views and access to the water.I found the stairs inside the house very challenging. One set has no railing to hold onto and the others to the laundry were very very steep. At 78 and with a weak left leg these were bordering on dangerous for me and I wish I had known before I spent over 2000 to stay there.It was also difficult with my dog because there were few places for her to walk or relieve herself, particularly given the threat of ticks, with or without tick protection, The standard of the house is very high in every other way and overall I was glad I had the experience, despite leaving a day early.

Lovely decor and outlook

Spacious house with tasteful decor and lovely leafy outlook with water view. Well supplied kitchen with all utensils and a basic selection of condiments. Wifi was down for most of our stay. Lots of mozzies when we stayed (January) which meant we tended to avoid eating out on the deck - mozzie coils would be appreciated. Bring your aerogard. Also a lot of clunking noises on the roof from dropping gumnuts and branches through the night

We couldn't fault this property or the booking process. The house includes a very well-stocked kitchen and comfortable furnishings. The view is the cherry on the top - so relaxing to sit in the lounge or on the roomy deck and just gaze out.
