Tradies in Snells beach

Great for us, as tradies working in the area. Great to be able to have the dog too. Only 1 downside was found the bed a bit hard

Beautiful location and home

We had a wonderful stay, we were greeted so kindly by Robbie and Anette (Zac and Bonnie). The home was well equipped for us to make breakfast and lunch. The pull out sofa was easy to set up quickly also. So close to Snells Beach which was lovely during high tide and plenty of beaches nearby. We frequented the local bakeries and restaurants which were all conveniently nearby. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
