The house in Surf Crescent had been left partially suspended over the edge , while a car and garage fell down the cliff face on Sunday morning.
The family had left the property after the cliff fall on Friday .
Mr Cane said: "An extension on the side, which didn't have any dirt under it anyway - it was just hanging. That fell off and that's on top of the car that was down there."
"The main building has collapsed on the top of the cliff. The cliff there looks quite solid."
He said he was worried the hose might be burgled while it was empty.
"I'm not allowed to sleep here. I've been here guarding my property."
