Great house. Great location.

Karen's place was situated perfectly for us. Not right in the middle of the busyness of Ocean Grove but only a 10 min walk to shops and 15-20 to the main beach. House was clean and really well set up for teens and parents with a well stocked kitchen and nice garden and decking to enjoy the outdoors.

Secluded getaway with the Magpies.

This property is better up close than the online listing leads you to believe. It is open, light, airy and beautifully tasteful. It's setting is lovely in that it looks across to the lake which is a favourite for bird life in the area. The Magpies visiting daily for a bit of mince was an absolute highlight. The property also has a lot more utensils and appliances in the kitchen than most properties we've stayed at which makes it fabulous if you like to cook sometimes while away. Overall, it's a lovely place to stay with a very welcoming owner to tell you how to get the best from it.

Private and Spacious

This property boasts privacy and space with two large living areas, large bedrooms and great entertaining outdoor area. We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend stay and would not hesitate to book this house again. The upstairs loft bedroom has amazing views of the river. Lovely gardens surround with a view from each window, we even had a little possum visit us among the vines. The decking with large table and seating was perfect for BBQ dinners. Thank you Karen for a memorable stay.
