Liked: Check-in, communication
Lots of room
A spacious house that is fairly well appointed although could do with a bit of a refresh. Good location although the highway traffic is noisy and fairly constant. Enjoyed the long beach walks.

Hi Shane, Thank you for your feedback, unfortunately we can not do anything about the traffic noise being on the highway although the benefit is being across the road from the beach, which is fantastic. I will pass your feedback onto the owners as all feedback is very much appreciated.
Kind Regards

Pros: A well laid out, nicely furnished and comfortable house, in an absolutely stunning location.
Cons: Sometimes traffic noise was annoyining. Also it would have been nice to get the "Things you should know" email earlier than two days before arrival.

The Batch is located in one of the best scenic view location, overlooking the sea. Clean property equipped with most of the amenities. Disappointed with the tank water high metal content. Pls take enough drinking water.
Awesome spot! The traffic didn't bother us at all. The house is a great size and had everything we needed. Thank you, we will definitely be staying again!
