Great beachside house. Stayed with family including 7mth old. Cool location with lovely setting. Loved sitting on the front deck with beach views. Inside open plan good for just hanging out together. Had everything we needed plus extras we could use for picnic etc. Used kitchen and deck bbq. Glad we stayed here and not in Cairns. Host was excellent.
