Rules
Given we live here, we expect guests to use only items as agreed and specified in our listing, and take the usual care they would as with their own house to avoid damage etc. If you have young children, the backyard is great place to play and is enclosed. They may still need some supervision, as there are a few high steps and places they could hide! It's a great garden for adventures and running about though. The front yard is not, and we ask children don't play there. This is a non-smoking house, and while pets are allowed, it's expected they'll spend most of their time out in the big backyard. This is a great house for families - note that there are 2 sets of around 4 stairs going into the property, and if you have an inquisitive toddler, things may need to be moved out of their way! Note that water is valuable in Australia, so please use water, particularly for baths and showers, sparingly where possible. We are conscious of the environment, and have a worm farm for your scraps.

Very homely and unfussy house with a great garden and lovely neighbours. Belinda was very thorough about advice on local ameneties and very professional to deal with in all matters. They left bikes and a surfboard for my use too.
Jun 27, 2019Belinda is a lovely host and their home is very welcoming & family friendly. You feel relaxed as soon as you arrive! Our kids loved the back yard and the trampoline and the other toys that Belinda kindly left out for us. Would highly recommend!
Jun 27, 2019Belinda was a perfect host and made it really easy to check in and settle in her home. The house and garden are lovely and the garden studio very comfortable. The area is very quiet and close to lovely beaches. We enjoyed our stay and felt right at home. Thanks for giving us a great Christmas break on the Beaches !
