Great property - very clean, easy living with our three little kids. Easy access to the beach and the bach is well equipped with toys - kayaking down the estuary was lots of fun!
This property was the perfect location for our weekend away. Fully equipped including a large variety of board games and books. Hosts had great communication with us. Very happy with our stay.
This Estuary Escape property was fabulous for our family of 8, reunion. The location is beautiful, the house was so comfortable for us all. The extra water spot gear appreciates, too.
Lovely home with everything a family might need. Well laid out and a great kitchen. Kayaking was a bonus!! We will certainly be back.

Well equipped and great location
We had a great stay, there was plenty of room for all of us and the place had everything we needed. The showers were a little funny because the shower head wouldn't stay up, but nothing a bungee couldn't fix! Great place for our kayaks, which we could launch in the estuary and a perfect place to cycle around. Would definitely recommend this place for a family holiday.

Beautiful home and a amazing location
Tracey was a wonderful host and she took a huge chance on a group of young adults. She made us feel right at home and would answer any questions we asked.We had an amazing stay because of the house's perfect location. I would highly recommend this house to anybody who wants some time away from home.
Awesome property with plenty of space in a great location. Everything we needed supplied right down to shot glasses! Great to be able to enjoy the water with kayaks etc. Friendly neighbours too. Awesome value! Will recommend to others and be back again. Thanks for making everything so easy.
Amazing holiday home, with beautiful views of the water. So much grass out the front for the kids to play and a very short walk to a playground, as well as walking along the estuary to the beach. House has everything you need with so much space, and was so clean and tidy, was lovely to walk in to. Kayaks were an added bonus, were excellent condition and was so much fun to paddle out from the house. Garage was great for storage for our bikes and prams too. Thank you so much for such a wonderful house, we will definitely be back!
It was excellent. The property itself was clean and well stocked. The location on shore was beautiful. We have a minor issue with the Bbq but that was rectified by the owners. All in all an excellent property to rent.
