Upstair's rooms were clean and were well stocked with necessities.Upstairs was very good. Granny flat downstairs was not as well presented. Granny flat's outside area was unclean and so, not utilised which was a shame. Downstair's cooking pots and pans need updating so we tended to bring down some from upstairs and use those.

Great family getaway

We loved this house, it feels like a home away from home. It is really nice to stay somewhere that is so generous with all the little extras (kitchen appliances, cleaning gear, condiments etc). We had the most relaxing stay sitting on the beautiful deck hearing and seeing all the birds. Thank you!

Lovely stay

Thanks for having us Tom, we had a lovely stay at point lookout. Well catered for us with the baby and both sets of grant parents and our dog. All though the dog got out the first night at the back so you might have to consider fencing the back in better if you allow bigger dogs on the property.

A most relaxing stay

Tom’s house is in a fabulous location walking distance to many beaches, cafes and local shops. It had everything we need with space for everyone. It has a good functional kitchen with all the equipment you could need on vacation. Gas bbq was very handy - plus a firepit was enjoyed also. The koala visits in the front trees and wandering kangaroos was an extra treat!

Walking distance to everything!

Just spent a week at Tom’s with four kids and the house had a great set up with plenty of rooms, self contained granny flat downstairs and the bonus of having ducted air con. House was very clean and all beds comfortable. Easy walk to beach and grocery store and plenty of kangaroos to see! Good time enjoyed by all.

Great location, functional home

We have stayed here before so know the property well; its conveniently located to the beaches and is pet-friendly so works for us. Teenagers downstairs in the granny flat and parents upstairs. We met the owners who came across to do the clean and garden themselves - delightful couple who have owned the property for a long time. We'll stay there again!
