Was a really lovely house and area to stay in. The kids especially loved seeing the deers near the property. The host was great as someone in our group had left their kindle and the host sent it back for free which was very nice!

Great weekend away, wish we booked a longer trip!

We arrived at the property after a great lunch in Wollongong. Our host recognising that we couldn't get our bus through the property offered to pick us up and dropper us at the house. Amazing home with views of Wollongong CBD and the Beach! We'd love to come back again next time we're in town!
