With a very short and level walk to the lovely beach, shops and cafes, this location could not have been better for a self-contained holiday! Clean, simply furnished and with a good fenced yard and covered deck, it was a home from home for a week for us and our two dogs. We didn't need to go far afield for supplies with the excellent George's fruit and vegie market just up the hill stocking meat and gourmet ingredients and Copa supermarket, pharmacy and bottle shop for other basics (we also brought a lot of dry goods plus dog food in as we didn't want to go far for food). With the winding hilly streets, we were lucky to be on the flat but took advantage of the terrain for our daily dog walks. My dogs aren't into the salt water but we were so close to the off leash area where many furry friends were happily congregating! Very very happy with our holiday here. My only suggestion for improvement would be to supply a standing fan for better ventilation and bedside lamp in the smaller (bunkbeds) bedroom for older kids to read. The front bedrooms had fans and with the main air-conditioning on in living room we could cut the afternoon heat. Otherwise, spot on for an easy relaxed beach holiday!
