The home was perfect for our family, including our baby and school-age children. We enjoyed alternating between the beach and private pool. The hosts were highly responsive, and all amenities were as described. The beautiful views were a constant highlight. We'll definitely return.

Exceptional house with beautifully maintained bedrooms and great bathroom setup. The rooms offered plenty of storage with built-in wardrobes, and the children's room was a highlight with its bunk bed and collection of toys and books. The spectacular views and outdoor facilities made our stay truly memorable.

Perfect stay for our family of six in this immaculately clean and well-equipped home. The hilltop location offered spectacular views, while the morning chorus of cicadas and birds added to the peaceful atmosphere. The owner's communication was excellent throughout our stay. Highly recommend this exceptional property.

Lovely spot. Our family really enjoyed our stay including Duncan our chihuahua. The place has a really relaxing vibe and the pool was great. In the evenings we were visited by the local kookaburras and if you go out the back to the nature reserve you can feed bush turkeys and wallabies.

Before You Begin Your Holiday: Key Info
Family-Focused Getaway
Our home is designed for family vacations and relaxed getaways. While we primarily host families, we welcome mature groups upon prior consultation. The peaceful hillside location offers the perfect setting to reconnect and unwind, rather than a venue for parties or loud gatherings. Our aim is to maintain the tranquil atmosphere that makes this spot so special for all our guests.
Stay Details and Noise Policy
We provide all essentials including linens, towels, and family-friendly amenities such as a travel cot, high chair, and hiking carrier for little ones - all at no additional cost. Check-in is self-service via lockbox from 3pm, with check-out by 10am. Due to our hillside position, sound carries easily from the entertainment deck - we strictly prohibit loud music at any time of day and require minimal noise after 9pm. Indoor activities are not affected by these noise restrictions.
Booking and Payment Policy
We accommodate a maximum of 5 adults and up to three children, with pets warmly welcomed at no extra charge. Our booking process requires a 50% deposit to secure your dates, with the remaining balance due a few days before arrival. For your peace of mind, we offer a full refund for cancellations made up to three weeks before your stay.
