There was EVERYTHING there we needed. The games room was great. TV channels and Foxtel were great.
The rooms need a clothes hanger. The room with the modem and Foxtel in should be changed to another bathroom - guest of two bedrooms (possibly 6 people) have to go downstairs and share the laundry/bathroom with up to another 3 people.
Like all other guests, I agree it needs a light above the dinning table.

Good kitchen. Space.
The stairs (inside set) are a bit difficult to use and we preferred to use the outside set instead especially with the luggage.

So much to do to relax, games room/bar a winner!Very suitable for extended family vacation. Comfortable in general, good air-con. Big ensuite, great double shower. Water pressure good and nice hot showers. Everything you need in a well equipped kitchen. Gas bottle was quickly refilled upon request.
Single bed/top bunk in upstairs bedroom need mattresses replaced. Could do with mobile hanging trolley in 2 double bedrooms to hang clothes. Small table and couple of chairs on front upstairs verandah to chill out or even a hammock.

The house is roomy and in a quiet neighborhood. One can see the ocean and sunsets from the kitchen windows. The kitchen is well-supplied with cooking utensils, dishes, appliances, etc. There is both a stand-up freezer and a full refrigerator in the kitchen. The air conditioning worked very well (though one of the remote controls needed new batteries). There are three toilets in the house (two are in their own little rooms). We did our big load of laundry at the laundromat in town, but my husband washed and dried a shirt in the washing/drying machine in the house. (He was afraid the shirt would have a permanent stain if he didn't wash it right away.) The washing machine worked fine, though like other machines that do both washing and drying, it left the shirt more wrinkled than usual, so he had to iron it as well. (There are clotheslines outside and clothespins, for those who would prefer that.) I didn't meet the owner, but I did talk with her briefly twice on the phone. She seemed nice. Kangaroos come into the neighborhood and yard sometimes, which might not seem a "plus" to Australians but was a "plus" to us.
The bed was too firm for me and could use a "mattress topper." Both queen beds seemed to be about the same firmness. (There are also two other bedrooms with beds mainly intended for kids, I think.) The circular staircase inside is narrow, so it is not easy to bring things up and down inside. The best way to bring suitcases up and down would be to use the outside back stairs. We just left our suitcases in the recreation room, rather than cart them upstairs to the bedrooms. There is a small room upstairs where one can hang clothes, but there were only four hangers. The shower temperature varied somewhat when my husband was using water elsewhere in the house but not otherwise. The shower pressure was good. (There is a very roomy shower with two showerheads upstairs, and another shower on the lower level.) There was a burnt-out light bulb in the lamp on my bedside table . (I left a note for the cleaners, so it is probably replaced now.) I wasn't sure if the microwave oven was working properly, since it seemed to stay on after the timer dinged. My husband thinks it was just the fan that stayed on after the time was up. The only reason I felt why the house did not meet my expectations was because of the firmness of the queen mattresses.

Location was very good. Close to everything we needed. Host was very good.
Cleaning wasn’t done prior to us arriving but as soon as I contacted the host, she was very helpful and even gave us a discount and couple of bottles of wine. Felt sorry for her because not really her fault. We would stay again. Floor boards very noisy.

The property was an excellent size. Dad just had a problem with the stairs, but still really enjoyed the stay. There were a couple of issues with the dishwasher and washing machine, but the host had informed us prior and new appliances were fitted during our stay.

The location of the property was great. Aircon in the rooms made for a much comfier stay, also great having a bbq and everything else in the house so didn’t have to bring heaps of stuff
The house wasn’t very clean when we got there, cigarettes, a dead mouse and a dead frog on the floor outside which made it a little hard to chase a toddler to prevent her eating them. The water pressure was also not so great which makes it hard to wash your hair
10.0
The location was perfect - only a few blocks from the beach and also walking distance to the restaurant and pubs. We also liked the air conditioning in every room. But our favourite was the games room which was an absolute winner.
