Loved the house. Hosts kept to themselves. Park across the road. We have a 2.5 yr old Houdini, the front door only has a button to lock and then a pull handle to unlock making it very easy for my son to open. The other problem we had was the spa, also no locks. We managed to keep it a secret from our Houdini but would’ve liked him to be able to use it if it was able to be locked. Other then that, the house can accommodate a number of people. It’s beautiful, clean and spacious. I would recommend for families with older kids.

They property was not cleaned properly fridge was unusable so was the spa fly screens were covered in a thick dust some curtains have mould spots on them, one bed had pubic hair on the supposedly clean sheets the house stank the garden and both verandas were a mess the floors needed a good clean but there was no mop. The contact person was the cleaner whom just let herself in after being advised DO NOT ENTER the list goes on. If the property was properly cleaned it would be a great affordable place to stay

Great location for cycling around Wollongong. Immediate access to cycleways North and South. Multiple living areas as well as having balcony and spa areas was good for the family. Nice to have a spa at the end of the day too. Hosts were available and helpful when required. We enjoyed our stay.

10/10 stay was awesome, property was better then photos and suited all ages that stayed, central to main shops and awesome view, don’t not recommend if you’re pregnant as the stairs did kill my legs after going up and down constantly, but definitely will be staying again if we go that way for a holiday again

Great place to stay has everything you need.

The hosts are wonderful, helpful and give you great privacy, even though they are literally Nextdoor. Plenty of car spaces on property. There are about 8-10 steps to get to the front door and two level of steps to get to the bedrooms upstairs. The two decks and gardens are so serene to sit in and the outdoor spa was great. The house is literally across the road from a playing field and park too. The house is located just a few minutes away from shops and a short drive to many other areas around. You don’t need to bring anything at all - it’s like you are visiting back home to your own parents house, they have everything you need - but your own food! Master room has a a good size tv. There are two great living areas as well. The heating was great as we stayed in the winter season. Will definitely want to book again when I can. Thank you to the hosts for a fantastic long weekend. :-)

Great property with lovely hosts. House was clean, tidy and lovely. All the little extras were a lovely touch. Hot tub was great for sore muscles after hockey games. Quiet area yet close to Wollongong. Would highly recommend a stay and we would stay again if in the area again. Thank you.

Nice area, nice place. Host information and communication very good. The spa was awesome, we lived in it every night as my daughter was there for under 16 country rugby Comp.
Only small down side, I believe 10 yrs ago the house would have been really beautiful, just needs a little updating, and although not dirty things are starting to wear and show there age. Bu5 overall I think any family or couple would enjoy the home.
Regards Nathan.

Had a good time in this house. Easy location to get around to shops/beach/attractions. Good sized house with 2 living areas meaning there is enough space to spread out. The spa was great to relax in at night. Owners were great to deal with. Overall, very happy and would recommend for the price.

Very comfortable 4 bedroom house with lots of space for various family members to hangout doing their own thing. 2 lounge areas and a sunroom:dining room, and 2 outdoor areas for chilling in evening breezes. All the amenities you need. Lots of parking at the front for cars. Stairs to bedrooms maybe an issue for infirm/disabled. My 93 year old mother managed by going up & down slowly. Great place for families and friends alike.

We enjoyed our 3 nights stay(Dec 4-7, 2020) in this property. The property owners were really helpful right from the arrival. Very welcoming approach. Our group included adults and young children. The property is located in a very convenient spot away from all sorts of disturbances.The fecilities inside is better than the one in pictures. The best part of the property is the spa next to the sun room ..kids enjoyed it very well. We highly recommend this property for anyone looking for their stay in this area

This property is truly a wonderful find. House was very clean and lots of towels. We travelled with 2 families and the 2 living areas were fantastic. 2 deck areas. The outdoor spa was fantastic for adults and kids. Ceiling fans in all bedrooms plus a great breeze from the lake kept us nice and cool. A new park across the road catered for all ages. Margaret was great at communicating prior to our stay. We will be back for sure. Thank you again.

Upon arrival we were very happy with the house & did not think the pics did it justice. We quickly found out why many visitors return to this house. It has a homely feel, with plenty of space for a large family.The park across the road was a hit with the young one & the spa was a hit with the adults after long days.The kitchen, outdoor areas & bbq were all functional & utilised daily.Thank you for allowing us to share your home. We plan on coming back
