10/10 Excellent
"We had a perfect holiday. The house was impeccably clean and well appointed with an eclectic style. The wood fire was an unexpected bonus with plenty of wood supply. Evelyn was very easy to communicate with and extremely flexible and accomodating. The house is so well located- quiet street, and a short walk to everything- beaches, shops, local pub and lovely bush walks. Our dogs loved being at the beach everyday- and again their needs were well taken care of- lovely garden to explore, sunny verandas to take well earned snoozes. Thankyou Evelyn for sharing your beautiful home. We had a much needed relaxing and enjoyable holiday in paradise."
