Impeccable modern home in Tea Gardens - located in a relatively isolated but idyllic setting - it was perfect for our group golf trip. The host was super responsive with helpful tips & advice prior to and across the weekend.Not a single fault we could pick - a lovely home & would consider again to visit the Hawks Nest region.
