Big family house

We had a wonderful time at Shoaly house. We stayed with our extended family with room for everyone.The property has three separate living areas which gave each family their own space, though there was some jealousy about who got the back cottage (it’s very nice).The main house common area is small for a big group, but the front and back decks are huge. We had all our meals on the back deck, the built in BBQ is excellent and the kitchen windows open onto the deck to create a serving area, perfect for our big group. It was comfortable even with some rainy weather We liked that there was secure parking for all of our cars.The location is mid way between three beaches, 1.2km to the closest one. An easy walk, or a short drive if you’re taking beach equipment.Our hosts were very helpful and responded to all my questions quickly.I definitely recommend the house for a big family get together.

Excellent home for large groups

My friends and I (6 couples 1) stayed in this lovely home and it was excellent. Each bedroom is perfect if you're looking for a place to accommodate lots of couples, as each had at least double bed in them. Two rooms have a bunk double and single, which means you could have more people too. The house was lovely, everything is clean and modern, and each section of the house has its own living space and kitchen/kitchenette so you could easily have time apart comfortably if you want or need that.
