    Great location! Table tennis enjoyed by all. Also the backyard space was very good. BBQ was perfect for cooking for our group of 14 adults and 3 Children. A light in bbq deck area is needed. Large television great because we all watched the grand final. Bedrooms and bathrooms very well set up and convenient. A few suggestions re maintenance. Shower in bedroom next to garage did not work properly and needs to be fixed. Laundry door sticks. Sets of wine glasses are needed. We celebrated family birthdays and everyone enjoyed the weekend.

    We had such a fantastic stay here, we hardly left the place as the weather was quite cold. But when we did it was central to everything. Restuarants, Supermarkets etc were within walking distance. The house is such a great layout and as we had a few families stay it allowed everyone to have their own space too. Can't recommend enough. Thank you we all had sucha

    Encanto is a spacious, well equipped & well located holiday home. It is very comfortable a short walk to shops, cafes & restaurants. We loved the fire, the table tennis & the good kitchen for cooking.

    the house was great for our group of friends who mostly had their own bathrooms and space. The kitchen was spacious and we loved he outdoor eating area; great for breakfast in the morning sun. A few more comfy chairs in the lounge room would be good. Wonderfully close to shops and a pleasant walk for morning coffee and the beach. Easy access tgo all other PIsland tourist spots.

    The location was very good as it's very close to the town and is walking distance to the super markets and shops. It's about a ten minute walk to the beach. We had to pay an extra $300.00 for linen, but the linen that was supplied wasn't very clean, and they were just dumped on the beds. Even the pillow cases were just kept on the beds. We used the oven in the morning, but it didn't work the second time when we tried using it in the evening. We had to throw some food items that we had brought with us for baking, and had to spend extra to buy some other food items, as the oven wasn't working.
