Great Family Escape - relaxing getaway
The house is a 5-10 minute walk to the shops/Cape Tavern, 900 metres from the beach, and just a couple of doors down from the local park. With a full kitchen, you'll be cooking a up a storm in no time, and the dishwasher is there to clean up the mess! The fireplace is amazing on cold winter nights, and the high ceilings will keep you cool throughout the summer. There is a huge covered north facing deck out the back with an 8 burner BBQ, dining setting and lounges with still plenty of lawn for the kids. Its the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city to unwind and relax. You’ll love it because of the living space, deck, location and tranquillity. Its the perfect place for couples and families. Its on a quite gravel road so there are no cars zooming down the street.

Really enjoyed our stay in this comfortable and very clean house. Cape Paterson is a great area to explore - the house was a gentle 10 min walk to the beach, with parkland and playground very close by.

Once again had a wonderful stay at this home. Walking distance to the bay and surf beaches. Family friendly getaway and would highly recommend. Nice and quiet location with a park nearby. As always Nicole was a pleasure to deal with.

We loved our stay at this property it was perfect for a family to relax and unwind in. Its comfortable and warm with a large kitchen/dining/lounge room. Loads of videos and books and caters well for children. It has a lovely, enclosed back yard with a great table and bbq for those outdoor meals. Close to the beach and Tavern it is in an ideal location, and we would definitely come back!

Great property with a well stocked kitchen and comfortable. Karege deck with BBQ and enclosed backyard. 600m from beach. Only downside was there is no internet and mobile reception is very poor...intermittent at best. Would recommend.

Loved Cape Paterson and we loved staying at this property but be careful they will take your bond. We cleaned up after ourselves and even put out the bins to be collected... never again.. bad experience.

Great house for us and 2 teenagers. Well set up kitchen and great to have games and lots of DVDs. Easy walk to the shops and main beaches. Bunk beds mattresses were a little hard. Needed a second fan for bedrooms for very hot days!

This was our second time back at the property and once again thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Nicole was a pleasure to deal with and we would highly recommend this property. Walking distance to the beach and shops with plenty of space to unwind after a day in the surf. The week went too fast.
Thanks Nicole

We love this house and have stayed there twice now in winter due to the super cozy coonara heater. Great location to park (3 houses away) and easy walk to beach, shop, tavern. Thanks again for another great winter escape!
