The house was clean, close to shops and theme parks.
The property owner has me thought of everything a family needs while on holidays. There were plenty of towels and beach towels available. There was a study area, seats next to the kitchen and outdoor area for enjoying the warm outdoors.

Grandad’s house rocks!!
From the minute we made our enquiry and through the many queries we had, our hostess was more than accomodating.
On arrival (myself, husband and another couple), were charmed by the house and all the finishing touches.
Kitchen is well equipped (including a cupboard with complimentary staple items) and BBQ / outdoor area was fab.
Beds were comfy and each a bathroom was near each double bedroom, with bunks in another.
Place is definitely dog friendly as advertised, with full fencing and very secure. And lovely touches such as pet bowls to boot.
We had a wonderful stay - thank you!

Great stay.
We enjoyed our all too brief stay in this classic Queenslander. The verandah out the back was great and we even got entertained by the neighbour’s cat!
