Fishing Trip
Great home base for a week of fishing. Awesome that you are allowed pets outside. Nice neighborhood and has everything you need. This batch is just that - don't expect a flash house or anything but it was perfect for what we were after. Bring bug spray with you though!

When its good to be central to nowhere
A great little/big shaded base camp for the coastal drifters. Central to nowhere and quiet. Big enough to kick a ball in the shade, with a good-sized kitchen/entertaining area. Yet small enough to easily maintain through your stay. The only bug was that I couldn't get the wifi sorted, which would be an issue for parents with whinging kids. Solid 4 stars from me :)

Awesome bach
The bach was a great home away from home. Comfy beds, large kitchen area with full size fridge and oven. Only downfall was the shower, the pressure was almost non-existent.
