Our stay was amazing. Best and quiet home with all the kitchen things you need. Beds were comfortable and home within walking distance of the ocean and local shops. We would easily stay here again. I would love to see maybe a smart tv or Netflix added to the tv as lazy afternoons would be more comfortable with something good to watch, as the selection of dvds isn’t the greatest.
My family stayed at this beautiful little house on the weekend and I was blown away how clean it was! Very close to town and to the water. We all had ample space and having the two bathrooms was great also. I certainly would recommend the house to anyone.
Our host was super responsive also which was great.
Third time we have stayed, cannot say a bad word about the property. Great location for easy access to town, clean. Great communication with owner. Will stay again.
We loved it here. Perfect location for what we were there for. Very open and airy home with both comfort and practicality. Plenty of parking for our vehicles & great outdoor BBQ area.
It is a relaxing home to stay - we'll be back!
Large home in a great location where you can walk everywhere. Clean and easy to look after.Although ducted heating not working the reverse cycle in the back room was adequate.
We were so delighted with the house, position, set out, everything. The property was spotless. Plenty of cooking equipment, crockery & utensils for a large family. Perfect location.
We had a lovely stay at this beautiful cottage feel home. Our family of 5 found all the comforts of home here and our children settled and slept peacefully each night. Perfect location, very close to all shops, restaurants and cafe's. Such a relaxing and peaceful family stay. # Amazing Bath! Thank You :)
