Paid to clean...
The property was not cleaned from previous tenants. Crumbs all over benches, food and dirt all over the floors, sand and hair throughout the bathroom, rotten rubbish in kitchen bin, the house stunk. I spent 2 hrs cleaning the house so it was habitable for my family. Do NOT recommend. Spoke to property manager, no discount was offered. I was appalled!

Beautiful spot and quirky property
Lovely place to stay for a couple of Aussies who were looking to avoid the regular tourist route. We loved seeing and hearing the surf crashing on the rocks out the front and we got experience it with the rain too - all a beautiful experience. The bach or shack as we Australians say was lovely and clean with quite modern amenities keeping in mind it is a Bach which we knew before we rented. Special mention to the owner and her caretaker for the linen as being from Australia we hadn’t thought we would need it but Anene organised it for us for a fee which was so much appreciated. Yes as mentioned before be reviewers the floor slopes but it doesn’t matter, the shower was lovely and the new double glazed windows and doors were beautiful. It as freshly painted soooo nice! Thankyou for the experience.
