The room was awesome, with a view on the pool and the ocean, it gave us the perfect relaxed holiday vibe. We even got a late check-out till 5 pm for free which resulted in a well needed hot shower after a sweaty walk to spot koala's nearby. Contact with Adam whent smoothless by sms and an envelop ready to pick up the key whenever we wanted.

It was exceptional! Thank you so much for the staff that helped me figure out where the keys were! 😃 The Glamping tent and the space around is just so great, it has everything you need as if you were camping in nature! The bed was super comfortable with a lot of pillows, there is a small kitchen where you can prepare your meals, bathroom with hair drier, towels for the swimming pool, a balcony with chairs and a table. There is a swimming pool and a barbacue and the place is just very well located, 5min to the ferry and 5min to IGA supermarket by walk. Everything was so clean and tidy! Thank you!

Great location - kids playground right outside which was ideal for allowing parents to relax/get organised at the house whilst kids were playing. Bus stop right outside very handy too. Easy walk along the beach to Nomads for sundowner drinks! Layout of the house was also great for 2 families with all bedrooms upstairs - very easy having 4 kids sleep in the queen double bunk room too. Being right next to one of the main island wallaby hang outs was also a highlight for the kids and enabled easy morning and evening feeding sessions!
