Terrific location. We stay at Ammaboola for 3 weeks every autumn. It is a very practical house with a downstairs area for the grandchildren who joined us for one weekend. We had to extend our stay for 4 days as the road was blocked in the floods. The agents were terrific keeping us informed and the owner most helpful in our predicament.

Reviewer Comments: Ammaboolah has everything you could possibly need for a beach holiday..well equipped kitchen..games for kids..games room downstairs..beach equipment including boogie boards etc..beds were all made up with good quality linen & towels supplied which many rentals don't include..such a hassle if it's byo. Track to beach across the road. Hat Head is awesome..all that's missing is a little cafe / coffee shop.

The house states it sleeps eight people so we had two families of 4 but the area is not set up for two families to enjoy the downstairs area should just be a bunk room for kids and upstairs should have both rooms for adults… no gas in gas bottle on arrival so we weren’t able to cook the first night liked planned, one roll of toilet paper for 4 night stay and eight people and the linen is gross…. the dirtyness of the downstairs area cockroach poo spider webs inside all over felt like we were camping. downstairs toilet seemed to not flush like normal all things could of been fixed with the right people making sure visitors have a great stay and want to return…. The house is for one family not multiples.

Reviewer Comments: A very comfortable and welcoming home, but with several issues.Downside is that 4 of the 6 beds are very small.Needs to be advertised as 4 adults, 4 children.Needs another queen bed in the 3rd bedroom.The house needs doormats, tea towels and hand towels to be accurately described as " linen provided"BBQ dirty - grease tray was full. For the price I would have expected one with a hood.Good living area layout

Fantastic property, loved the large deck and the downstairs area is cool and quite in the hot weather. Save yourself a few hundred dollars and book through the real estate rather than pay the admin fee on Stayz

Awesome Beach House for Relaxing Holidays

This is a great house to spend a relaxing holiday by the beach. The location was fantastic and quiet. Comfortable living with the added benefits of nicely renovated bathrooms/kitchen and owners supply linen and bath towels.....makes for an easy visit. Kitchen very well equipped. Great backyard and lots of games to keep everyone young and old happy. Reasonably priced. Great WiFi. Well done
