Serene, complete, clean, comfortable. Gorgeous location. Your artwork adds a whole dimension of holiday spirit and being at the waterfront was magical. Well equipped kitchen and comforts, games, local literature. Thank you for this truly lovely getaway.

Thankyou Susan. Was lovely to have shared with you. X
With a very safe beach at your front door, great views, and a great host living upstairs, it results in a very enjoyable stay. Suitable for a family or a group of friends.
Great accommodation close to beautiful beaches and fantastic hikes (tracks), Anni was a delightful hostess and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
