Comfy stay in Jan Juc
Our group had a very comfortable stay at the property. The beds are comfortable and the bathrooms are nice too…plenty of hot water and great water pressure for everyone to enjoy their shower.We enjoyed spending time in the outdoor area as well.There is some room for improvement however. Wi Fi should be made available for guests. We coped for the week of our stay but for the price paid for the rental it should be included. Although we mostly ate out we found that the kitchen although functional lacked some basics like salad bowls platters and decent ovenware.Be mindful that the property is split level and you do need to navigate the steps with care.All in all it is a nice home and we enjoyed our stay! Thanks!

Lovely home with lots of special touches included.
This house was so lovely and welcoming, there were so many personal touches and extras that were highly appreciated, especially the totum tennis for the boys and the beers and wine for the parents. We stayed for the grand final weekend so our boys loved the huge TV. Beds were super comfortable and kids enjoyed having a separate area to chill out in. The house was a really easy 500m walk to the beach and the shops in Jan Juc. We did some really spectacular walks around the area. Would love to stay again.
