Great for families

Jo & - 12th April 2023

We've been 3 years in a row now for Easter and as a group of 4 families, this house accommodates us perfectly. Two living areas is great for us as we find the teenage kids now want their own space. Kitchen is well stocked, couches are comfy and we find it very easy to relax here. Having a firepit and chairs this year was a welcome addition. A koala sighting in the front yard was the icing on the cake. We love it here.

Hi Jo & Mark, thank you for your loyalty. Your review means a lot to us. It has been an absolute pleasure hosting and serving you!

amazing stay

James A - 8th July 2022

Perfect for families

Jo & - 18th April 2022

We love this house, our 2nd year staying with 4 families in total. Great layout for a large group and caters for adults and kids alike. Kitchen has everything you need including the all important coffee machine. We love the big living room, poker table and karaoke machine which comes in perfectly for our girls vs boys trivia night. We love the land around the house, with heaps of space for the kids to play. The verandah is great and we love the addition of chairs and tables.

Stunning house

Not quite up to standard but a great space for all the family

Rebekah C - 15th January 2022

It was a good space, plenty of room for all of us and a great location. It wasn't very clean on arrival though, it had hardly been vacuumed in the bathrooms and toilets and there was a lot of stuff cluttered in the laundry and in different corners of the house which made it feel messy. Also found something very gross left in a cupboard. A few things were falling apart that could do with some TLC like the clothes line falling over and balcony screen coming off. But still an enjoyable stay overall

This house has everything!

Paul D - 12th December 2021

Plenty of room for our extended family for an early Xmas catch-up. Plenty of beds and bathrooms. Lovely comfortable outdoor furniture for a large group. Peaceful quiet location, comfortable walking distance to the beach. Would recommend. No shortage of anything!

House, fascilities and location

Samitha D - 11th February 2021

The house was in very good condition, clean, well arranged and ready to be occupied. All cutlery, crockery and glasses etc were in abundance. The house itself was very modern and good appliances. Enjoyed the stay very much. Only suggestions of improvements would be to get better ventilation to the middle room in the attic as this feels stuffy and no air movement. Also there is no direct access to a toilet from the three rooms upstairs. May be the ensuite could be made accessible directly.

The Great Escape

QTTQ - 10th March 2020

Thank you for a lovely spacious place for our family get away over the long weekend. The kids loved playing every day with the friend neighbours dog Blake. The amenities were quite extensive including chopsticks. There were dish washing tablets but no dish washing liquid or sponge. As mentioned from previous guests there is no toilet for the upstairs room so was a slight inconvenience to those who stayed in those rooms. No major issues and wood gladly recommend this place and hopefully come back in the near future. Thank you

Space for everyone and a quiet location

Joan - 25th January 2020

We all enjoyed our week's holiday at the Great Escape being a family group of 12 we had plenty of space both inside and out. A family of four joined us for 2 nights and all seven children aged 11 to 3 had a fantastic time playing outside in the expansive backyard. The house was spotless and had a well equipped kitchen and an excellent BBQ. Lovely quiet street with visiting parrots and koalas. Overall it really was a Great Escape !

Great place for a big family

EV77 - 16th January 2020

This house accommodated our extended family of 15 in comfort. It was spotless and well presented. Set on a large block within walking distance to the beach it's an ideal place to escape. A few minor cons: a couple lights didn't work so we had to rely on lamps. There wasn't adequate storage for clothes in all of the bedrooms. Some extra wall hooks and side tables would have been appreciated. Also the lack of bathroom facilitates upstairs was a bit inconvenient but manageable. Everybody enjoyed their stay and we wouldn't hesitate to stay again!

Stunning property

Mariam - 22nd July 2019

We had a group of father and son, total of 11 men, they truly loved it, the property had everything.

Well equipped property

Enayet - 15th July 2019

Best accommodation we ever booked. Very well equipped including wifi, netflix, foxtel. The kitchen, living and dining are very spacious. Everything is neat and clean. We will happily recommend others.

BEAUTIFUL HOME

Sandra - 6th June 2019
