Far from the madding crowd
The house was light and airy, with plenty of space for our adult family of 5. Unfortunately the weather was unseasonally awful, with poor visibility due to cloud and rain, so the views were largely wasted over the 4 days. There was no internet, which added to our woes in the bad weather. (I'm sure our stay would have been more enjoyable in beach-friendly temperatures.) The birdlife was lovely, and we spotted koalas too.
