Short getaway

Lovely home with plenty of room for the four of us - only thing to note is that the bunks are for small children not for teenagers, as we discovered. The bath in the master bedroom ensuite was perfect.

Unwelcoming and tired

Kenros needs an overhaul! We walked into a musty-smelling house, overgrown back and front yards and 4 dirty chairs out the front covered in bird excrement - Unusable without a clean. The note on the fridge advised using springwater for tea and coffee (assuming the drinking water was not ok)but there was none supplied. There was no milk in the fridge. A lot of what had been left in the pantry for our use had expired - The t-bags were 7 yrs out of date. The fireplace needed cleaning out and there was no firewood. NO SMOKE ALARMS in the house. The dinner plates were too large for the dishwasher drawers to close adequately. It was wet and the roof gutters didn't drain as there were weeds growing in them and the rain water spilt over the top. It was cold despite the reverse-cycle unit in the kitchen and we left a day early!

Great house, lovely staff

We had a lovely stay. The property was clean and warm in the cold winter weather! Nice to sit up close to the fire. House was bigger than I expected with everything you need for a weekend away!

Good for dogs, spacious, very close to sandy beach

House is well equipped. Beds very comfortable. Ensuite large with delixe hip bath and separate shower. Dogs loved interesting backyard with multi levels to snuffle through. However wasn’t confident that my 5kg dog might not be able to escape through a small fence gap or by digging under. And a larger dog might be able to leap over the very low wire fencing at points. Only 5min walk to completely have the sandy beach to ourselves ( dogs allowed on lead any time of day). Accessed down a short flight of wooden steps my elderly parents managed without difficulty. Many things to see and do, especially birds in the nearby sanctuary ( not for dogs). Complete off leash beach available west of the yacht club about 12min drive away.

what a winner

this was by far the best property we have stayed in during our 10+ years of renting. the layout was great and the kitchen was the best equiped ever. they had everything you could wish for except maybe a knife sharpener.....but the knives (many ) didn't need it anyway. Clothes pegs would have been nice but for $1.25 they now have pegs! Easy walk to a perfect beach.

Perfect beach getaway

Property has everything that you need for a perfect beach getaway. While the property is older it has been fitted out with lovely furnishings , layout is great & its extremely cozy. I also loved it’s a way back off the road so no need to be concerned about traffic with young children. Will definitely be staying again.

Spacious, clean and well equipped

We had a lovely long-weekend at this property in July. The house was lovely and spacious, well equipped and clean. We brought our two dogs and the yard was well fenced. Open fire with generous supply of wood was brilliant!

Did the job. Everything worked. Was a reasonable base for a small family

House was bigger than expected. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms was pretty handy. Definitely needs a thorough clean - dusting, removal of cobwebs, and a clean of blankets. Overall - probably a 3.5 out of 5 Our 2 year old was disappointed when we returned to our actual home, insisting we go back to ‘our holiday home’
