    I would have liked the 1st night in the main house, but a double booking meant we had a smaller part of the house, then second night in main house. Still had the views. Gerard very accommodating to the miss hap. Still would definitely recommend the house to anyone loving music..

    Views Views Views Of Penguin, the Unique house's memorabilia of rock and music icons from 60's,70's mainly . Books about musicians and singers, not that I had time to read them, Id need a couple of months!!( So Many), Pictures everywhere.

    The fact we couldn't stay longer. Next time!

    Variety of cereal options for breakfast, toast and toppings. The view was amazing. Quiet place, close to beach, places to eat. The music memorabilia filled the house with pictures, books. Very clean, comfortable. Lawns immaculate. Plenty of room. Gerard was easy to talk to, easy going. Sunrise was pretty.

    Nothing.

    We were amazed by the stunning view. The interior decoration made us feel like immersing in a music world. The kitchen was fully equipped. We were provided ingredients for a full breakfast which was not advertised. We had the privilege to enjoy the whole house with five bedrooms which could accommodate 13 people, though we were only two couples. The owner only rents to one party no matter how many people the group has. Highly recommended if you’re going to Cradle Mountain or penguin viewing at Lilico Beach.

    MAYBE NEEDS A FIXED SHADE SAIL OR ROOF OVER THE OUTDOOR TABLE AREA, AS IT CAN GET VERY WINDY & YOU CAN'T PUT THE UMBRELLA UP FOR SHADE.

    GREAT LOCATION, LOVELY BIG HOUSE WITH EVERYTHING YOU NEED. BREAKFAST WAS ALSO GREAT, PLENTY OF CHOICES & PROVISIONS.

    Instructions on how to work the oven would have been welcome. Batteries in remotes need to be checked, they didn’t work in a few for the tvs, etc. Jukebox plugged in so it can be used would have been nice.

    Location was superb! Views out of this world. House was wonderful. Suited our family of 9 very well. Everyone had their own space and the kitchen, etc was big enough for us to all eat together. Breakfast provisions were more than ample and appreciated very much.
