Backing onto the St Leonards Golf Course on a quiet cul-de-sac. This place maintains the bush charm of a small two bedroom cottage. Perfect for a family getaway, it is only 1.2km from the beach and pier. The walk to the beach is easy and flat and the shallow beach is a favourite of parents with young children. Once you return home, there is plenty of space to run around on for the kids, and you will be surprised of the quietness of the location. As the property backs onto the golf course it is only a short stroll to play that round of golf. There is also access to the internet for those who just can't seem to get away from being online. It is the shortest of short drives to the local IGA and the coffee shop makes a fantastic hot breakfast and coffee. The charm of St Leonards is no better than after a hot breakfast at the coffee shop, and having a stroll along the beach and/or the pier with a coffee in hand. The house can sleep up to 5 and has 2 bedrooms with bunks and queen beds. One room has been also set up with bunk beds to sleep up to 3 people (Bunk beds with single bed on top, double bed on the bottom and a roll out trundle bed). Some pillows and blankets are available, however you will need to supply your own sheets and towels. If you do feel the cold, it is also recommended to bring down your favourite doona. The Queen size bed is very comfortable and purchased new recently. The bathroom maintains the charm of the age of the house, with a shower, toilet and sink. It is clean and comfortable and has been previously set up for the mobility impaired with a walk in shower with handles and no obstructions. The lounge room is all old school charm and the perfect place to relax after a long or even slow day. It opens up to a dining room. A gas heater stands alone providing warmth and the impression of a safe log fire and air conditioner for those really warm days. The kitchen also maintains the age of the house, and is clean and functional. It has everything the aspiring master chef needs after visiting the surrounding areas gourmet produce. It includes the basics like the fridge, microwave, kettles, toaster etc, but also the coffee machine for that morning cappuccino. On your way out the back you will find the laundry to wash the towels etc. from a relaxing day at the beach. Features \- Sleeps 5 \- 2 bedrooms \- One toilet/shower \- Laundry \- Well-appointed kitchen \- TV and DVD in lounge room \- Air Conditioning \- Gas log heater \- Rear Deck \- Back and Side Fences \- Microwave \- Gaggia Coffee machine Booking Conditions The property has been set up as an ideal rental for a small family.

The house was clean and the beds comfortable. Unfortunately, the host doesn’t provide dishwashing detergent or tea towels and it was obvious that the guests prior to us weren’t prepared for this. As a consequence, we found the dishes and cooking utensils to be dirty and greasy. Luckily, we were well prepared and gave everything a good wash before use. We also recommend that as well as bringing towels and linen, guests pack a bath mat. ##### Carolyn L. Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### RHONDA H.

Stepping into property we found dust everywhere, no wifi at all, dirty bathroom , mould on shower floor & curtains, arm chairs with stains, deck out back unsafe and trampoline broken. Also no toilet paper. Cannot open windows to air the place out. Dirty matress. Not sure how this is even allowed to be rented out. ##### RHONDA H. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Ian W. Dec 27, 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Christmas Holiday 2022 You have asked me how our holiday at St Leonards was, – where do I start. I will supply several photos together with this letter. This place should be removed from your website as it will give you a bad name. It is not fit for use by any self-respecting holiday maker. If we had been able to find another place nearby, we would have left on the first day. First of all, the documentation supplied was all about don’t do this and don’t do that, not a friendly introduction to our stay, and way out of date ie Internet connection and the cover photo. The name Backs onto Golf Course”is misleading as you cannot see the golf course because of the jungle at the back of the house. On our arrival we were absolutely disgusted with the condition of the premises. AND THEY CHARGE PEOPLE FOR CLEANING!!!!! You would think that with COVID a greater effort would be made to ensure the premises were hygienically clean. We purchased Pine O Cleen to thoroughly clean benches and tables before we dared eat. We were greeted with cobwebs on all doors and windows. The windowsills were full of dust and bugs and couldn’t be opened. The grill had been used by the previous tenants and not cleaned. The exhaust fan in kitchen was filthy and obviously hadn’t been cleaned for years. There is a cord hanging down near the kitchen sink which is extremely dangerous. There was an inch of dust underneath the bed in the main bedroom, obviously not cleaned for years. Not good for people like us who suffer from asthma, or respiratory problems. The ceiling fans did not work. (Maybe the batteries in the remotes were flat!!) There are no wardrobes therefore nowhere to hang clothes. No Broom to sweep floor, the stick vacuum was so full of dust and rubbish it didn’t work properly. No instructions of how to use electrical equipment, or utensils. Ironing board and iron locked away in a cupboard – if we had known that we would have brought our own iron. The back yard was not secure and therefore we could not leave the dog outside on his own, and the kennel was so dirty, full of fleas and spiders, no dog would be safe in it. Even though they said no dogs inside, there had obviously been a big dog inside due to the large claw marks on the floor. They charge $50 for the dog – what does the dog get for his money other than fleas?? The property is not pet or human friendly. Please take note of all our concerns and the photos which will accurately depict our concerns. Ian ##### Ian W. Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Adam B. Nov 7, 2022 Liked: Communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great quiet location Very comfortable but is obvious is a lot of dogs have visited. OK for me as was well aware is dog friendly and being a bit wiffy & a few hairs here & there is to be expected. ##### Adam B. Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melodi L. Aug 14, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cute little place We enjoyed our winter weekend stay. Cute, cosy and tidy little house. Perfect for our family of 4, plus a good sized, secure backyard for the fur baby. Excellent communication from the owners - our queries/messages were answered promptly. Thanks for a great stay. ##### Melodi L.
