I was impressed with dealing with Rob, the owner. He was swift replying to my emails and happy to answer all my questions, giving instant confidence. So within hours, it was booked and we were off 3 days later.
We arrived to a lovely clean bright sunny space, that did have a "wow" factor, due to the space and view. The living room was a great space, who needs a T.V when you have a cracking view. I felt like a bird in it's nest, high up in the trees!
For the kids the indoor swimming pool was the biggest attraction. I have to say, it was very nice. Spotlessly clean and warm, very warm! The room was filled with light and surrounded by decking and trees so it did feel quite tropical. The kids enjoyed every second, and we, the adults who normally complain about pools being "freezing" cold, didn't have one complaint!
I have to give a big thank you to Oceana for allowing dogs into their home, without any additional charges. This is refreshing, and I am incredibly grateful. I wish more places would be so accommodating. Woofa loved the view too.
This house provided plenty of space for a family of eight including 3 kids.It was clean and fresh and covered all the basics very well. A good comfy bed with crisp bedlinen, and provided towels (why on earth people don't supply these I never understand, even worse charge for them is beyond me) so another thumbs up for Oceana. Plenty of hot water, some milk, and a well equipped kitchen was appreciated.
The location is pretty good, we walked into town without any problem. Though, my mother refused the walk, daunted by the steep up hill climb, so we had to drive her, which turned out to be a bonus because the kids were flaked out after a day on the beach and wouldn't have enjoyed the climb home.
So, this house was perfect for our family escape. If I'm being very picky the house lacked some personality, it was a blank canvas, but perhaps that's a good things. After all, our own home has all the character we like, so lets have a change!
