We wanted a central east coast base to come back to after exploring each day in all directions. The quietness was very soothing & the fire place was very welcome on the cold evenings/ mornings. We were a group of 6 extended family, and the house though not large was not cramped at all. The 3rd bedroom consists of 2 sets of bunks, which turned out to be too short for our teenage son- something to bear in mind. More stock of coffee pods or grounds would be a good idea. Would happily stay again if we come to that area again.
