Breath taking
As soon as my husband and I walked through the gate we were taken away with the view. We walked in the house and it was so cozy and we couldn’t wait to unpack our bags and crack open a cold one on the deck watching the rest of the sun going down.

Family beach break
We are four generations who try to take a trip together once a year to the beach, age range is 2yrs to 83yrs. Micheal & Bobbie’s beautiful bach was absolutely perfect, all on one level with two separate fully fenced & secure deck's, which gave us absolute peace of mind with small children. The view from each is beautiful. The bach is setup superbly, they have thought of everything. We stayed five nights , the last two, the weather decided to take a turn for the worse, but that didn’t matter as there was a fantastic selection of board games & DVD’S, so we popped a roast on in the well set up kitchen ( honestly there is everything you need in this kitchen) and settled in for a family game day. It was perfect. Thank you so much Micheal & Bobbi for allowing us to stay in your slice of paradise & for your lovely welcome gift , such a beautiful touch. We all had a wonderful break & look forward to staying again. Katrina

Experiencing a cyclone
If we had to be at the beach during a cyclone this house was perfect. Views were truly amazing. Extremely comfortable. When the power and cell coverage went out Michael was next door and provided us with water and hooked us up to his generator. He was brilliant. Would highly recommend this house.
