NETFLIX is available for our guests on this TV as well! The large living room leads out to Pool & BBQ area through spacious tri-fold doors.

Wonderful Family Holiday
This fantastic house was everything we hoped. Lots of space for 9 adults, two children under 6 years of age and 1 baby. The swimming pool was well used (although a bit chilly for us) and the tables on the upstairs veranda could easily fit us all. Amenities are as described but you will need to take all your own food requirements, cooking oil, paper towel, condiments, etc as well as laundry powder for the washing machine. We walked to the beach, the Maggie Island Brewery and had a very relaxing 4-night stay. We hope to return one day.

Another weekend in paradise
We had stayed here 16 years ago, and it was a fun time with the family. Having two areas made it great for those that needed some quiet, and downstairs great for my daughter who has FND and needs a wheel chair from time to time. Kids had heaps of room to play.

Great house and location
Great place to stay. Plenty of space, very comfortable bed and home. Can see the owners have put in a lot of work to make it comfortable for guests, highlights was the coffee machine with free coffee and the pool! Keep an eye on pool cleanliness, not sure if it was previous guests or a neighbour but we found some cigarette butts floating in the water. Solved easily with a skim of the pool and the rest of the house made up for it in terms of accommodation and location!

Beautiful spacious house ideal for family getaway
Thank you Mark & Rosemary for the perfect weekend getaway with family & friends. There were 14 adults staying & there was plenty of room. The house is in a great location, walking distance to pub & bus stop. We went to the Stage Door Theatre Restaurant on the Saturday night & had no trouble getting buses to & from the venue back to the house. The place was clean & well equipped. Great communication with Mark & Rosemary before hand & appreciate the earlier check in.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We enjoyed a lovely stay with the whole family, renting both upstairs and downstairs. With the two blow up mattresses there was enough space for everyone. Pool is lovely and access to beach and food is easy. The only draw back we found is the beds are okay, but not the most comfortable. Some of the frames are very squeaky keeping those sharing awake during the night and others are on their way to be those roll into the middle beds. But overall we loved it and would stay again.

Perfect family getaway
We had family friends coming to stay from Tassie and booked this property to our two families (12 people all up) for a few days getaway. It was the ideal place for us - plenty of room, separate living spaces when the kids wanted to do their own thing, everything there that we needed. Wonderful location, great pool and lots of places to sit both inside and out. We would definitely recommend to others.

Three generation two week beach holiday
The house was ideal for our group of ten (6 adults, 4 children). The pool had a workout, even though it was a bit fresh initially. The location was great with a two minute walk to Picnic Bay beach. Also co-located with the beach was a bus stop, pub, bottle-shop, cafe and brewery. Ideal.
