    It was very comfortable, although the bed in the main bedroom could have been better. But it was fine. Very clean. Great position for us, as it is next door to my relation, where we spent most of our time. Only a 5 minute walk to the beach, but...

    Ron was a great host. He explained the place well and everything was clean and comfortable.

    The owner was super obliging going beyond expectations both in welcome and return of property accidentally left behind. The location was perfect for us being a couple of minutes walk from a lovely beach

The Ponderosa is located just a short level 2 minute walk to sparkling Sapphire Beach. It is a freestanding house on a corner block surrounded by a nature reserve and pond on the north side and private residences to the east and north east. The newly renovated property boasts a relaxed beach theme with a fully equipped kitchen with stone kitchen bench tops, big windows and all the comforts of home. The sound system has a CD player and bluetooth receiver that allows you to stream music direct from your phone. There is free to air TV and a blue ray disc player in the lounge room, the open plan kitchen, dining and lounge area has air conditioning and ceiling fans are in the bedrooms. The elevated patio has views of the reserve toward the beach and there is a gas BBQ for outdoor cooking. In the grassed courtyard below there is a wood fired BBQ for those that like their steak seared with that smoky flavour! There is a lovely walk to the headland if you go out the front door and up the hill on Poinciana Ave, just keep walking up the slope at the back of the beach to get to the headland to get some of the best views on this part of the coast.
