On arrival at the house, we had difficulty getting in due to not noticing the security stick of timber in the runner of the front screen door preventing it from being opened. We frustratingly tried the other two doors with no success and finally realised what needed to be done. A heads up on this would have been helpful.
The outdoor furniture & BBQ are stored inside the house & the glass table is very heavy needing two people to manhandle out the door onto the deck. I struggled with my bad back. There is a strip of wedge shaped timber to help get the BBQ out & in again.
The house has a unique design & is light & airy. In hot weather, consider using the awnings beside the driveway to prevent the sun from heating up the lounge. The view from the deck is great.
The lovely beach is quite close, just a short walk.
There are a lot of dining options in nearby Normanville & Yankalilla but be aware of the opening hours & days which caught us out a few times.
No pets is a bonus to us. We dont want to stay in a place where someone has let their pets have the run of the house.
We werent told to bring a bath mat which I think is essential as the bathroom floor is quite slippery to get out of the spa tub which has the shower over it. Also it would help to bring a tea towel.
There were a few items provided (toilet paper, garbage bags & detergent) which we were advised to bring with us unnecessarily.
My husband & I found the bed a bit uncomfortable.
I enjoyed going through the pile of magazines provided.
The welcome folder has lots of tourist info.
A word of warning; there are no street lights so if you go for a sunset walk on the beach, take a torch so you can find you way back again.
