We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Willowdene. It was the perfect house for the purpose of our group’s stay, which was to relax and spend some quality time together, and the house layout and amenities were absolutely ideal for this. There was 10 adults staying and there was quite literally something for everyone, whether it was for those who wanted to avail of the sporting facilities and get out and have a game of tennis or play some basketball, to those who wished to completely relax and unwind in the hot tub and the swimming pool, to those who just wanted to chill out on the deck or in the lounge room and soak it all in, it really was an exceptional house and we thank you for that. The kitchen/dining/lounge areas as well as the outdoor deck area are all super spacious and comfortably accommodated our group size.

We loved staying at Hampton’s Retreat. Walking into the house was instantly calming. It is beautifully decorated throughout and a really well equipped kitchen. BBQ, lap pool, super comfy beds, plenty of room to relax and enjoy. There were 8 of us and we enjoyed our stay immensely and would love to go back. Beautiful views over the bay from inside the house and a lovely front deck to sit on and enjoy them. Too many good things to fit on a review – Absolutely loved it!

We had a wonderful weekend getaway at Newhaven. The house was beautifully presented with 5 star facilities. The open fireplace, tennis court and mineral spa were the highlights for us, waking up to that view each morning was fantastic. I would highly recommend staying here, we will definitely be back soon.

This beautifully appointed property is ideal for a great escape. It is ideal for short or long stays, with plenty of great features available and room to spread out. The house itself is massive, with room for 10 adults to easily have time together or separately with so many living spaces available. There are great amenities – so many that it was heard to enjoy everything in a 3 night stay. The kitchen is more than well-appointed, with separate spaces for dining indoors and out. The location is stunning – quiet street, well within an easy short walk to the coast and beach. There are awesome views from the balcony and the beautiful coastal road to walk or cycle along. The booking process is easy, with timely responses and great communication from the agent. My only regret was that my group and I could not stay longer to enjoy more. I look forward to coming back in the future.To all involved in the booking process. What a weekend. We were all absolutely delighted with everything the property has to offer – location, value, amenities, even the comfort of the beds and linen. You have an amazing property and a great team that offers it. Everything was seamless.
