Excellent beach getaway

Great place for family beach break. Clean, tidy, close to the beach. We took our dogs and were grateful for the fully fenced section - it would have been helpful to know that the section was a shared one and had other dogs in it. Otherwise everything was excellent. Thank you 😊

So relaxing!!

A great quiet, relaxing beach getaway. Everything we needed was at the Bach including games & magazines. It’s a great Bach with plenty of room for a family. We spent the days wandering to the beach or estuary, fishing, reading or exploring. Loved that there was limited cell reception , no shops or distractions.

Peaceful location, well-equipped house. Easy walk to the beach around quiet streets.

The property is well presented with lovely soft furnishings . The kitchen has all the equipment you need. Bring all groceries and supplies as the nearest shops are around an hour away. The yard is well fenced and shared with the owners. The washing machine is in the owners garage so accessible when they are home. Would love to visit again.
