    I offer this as suggestions to help the owners improve their offering rather than to criticise as we were happy overall with our stay but yes there are areas that could be improved. A big one is that the entrance door needs a proper privacy curtain. The curtain is more a shade cloth and particularly at night with lights on is completely see through. Based on the angles of the building, there's direct view from owners' living room into the kitchen and main living area of the unit which feels invasive (even if not intentional) and the bathroom is also right next to the entrance door, so again if you shower you can't just walk out of the bathroom at night because it's completely see through. Tip for the owners would be to put a proper curtain at the entrance to offer privacy. Also the tv/living room upstairs is impossibly hot and has no aircon. Aircon is in the bedroom next door but the air doesn't really flow well into the tv room so we didn't stay in there much. I think it needs it own aircon unit to make it a usable room in this climate. Finally the fry pan is terrible and we couldn't find proper chopping knives. Can get decent non-stick fry pans at kmart for low price so that would be my recommendation to owners as the one there is very hard to cook with and everything just stuck to it and burned.

    Owners are lovely - they live next door and met us when we arrived with a friendly welcome. They told us what we needed to know and then left us alone to enjoy our time. The place itself is really nice. It is clean and is a good amount of living space for a couple. Very comfortable bed and pillows and well appointed kitchen with most of what you need. Also washing machine and barbeque available which is nice. Wonderful views from where the house is and very close to south mission beach. The woolworths is only a 5minute drive away.

    Would have loved some more cooling options in the main sitting areas as it was hard to keep cool visiting in December. I would suggest an aircon in the lounge room and/or options to make sitting outside more feasible such as shades or a fan.

    Loved the tranquil location and beautiful view. The accommodation was clean, comfortable and tastefully decorated. The hosts had included thoughtful touches to make it feel like home.
