Fabulous 8 night stay with our teenagers. Location was unbeatable with easy access to the beach. Has everything we needed to be our home away from home. Hosts were quick to reply and the wine and goodies on arrival was an added bonus. Will definitely look at staying here again in the future.

This is a lovely beach house, a combination of retro charm and updated comfort.

We enjoyed our two nights here. The updated bathroom and kitchen were great, the space was inviting and we really appreciated how it also catered for our dog with bowls provided and a dog door that delighted him. Extremely clean and well appointed, thanks for having us!

Family Xmas break!

My family of 5 and dog had a wonderful stay over Christmas at Gozo cottage. Some nice treats and Xmas card greeted us on arrival which was a nice touch. The outdoor area was great for Xmas lunch and evening bbq’s and drinks with an awesome kitchen as well. And of course less than a 5 min walk to the beach for a swim and walking track for the dog. I would highly recommend a stay at Gozo cottage.

Beach holiday

My family and I stayed at Gozo Cottage for Christmas/New Year - it was a perfect house for a family beach holiday. We felt at home the minute we entered the house - it was very well set up for a family. We were especially appreciative that it was perfect for the dogs as well. It was a very short walk to the beach, and a brilliant spot to ride pushbikes everywhere.

Gorgeous stay within walking distance to beach

We are return visitors to this property and as always we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is warm and cozy (with a fire we enjoyed on a cold weekend), the outdoor entertainment area undercover, complete with bbq. Our young family enjoyed taking walks and visiting local beaches. Thanks again.

Wonderful house in a great location

A friend and I stayed with my dog for a long weekend. The house has recently been refurbished and the photos online don’t do it justice. It’s clean, fresh and relaxing inside, with all the bits and bobs that make it feel like you are staying in your own home. The house is only a short walk to the beach, where we walked for kms meeting all the friendly local dogs. There are lots of great wineries (many pooch friendly) near by and lots of other activities to keep you entertained for the weekend. A lovely relaxing trip away from the city and Gozo Cottage is a wonderful central location from which to explore. Thanks so much for having us!

Folk Festival getaway at Indented Head

Overall the location, and facilities in this property suited our foursome group well.There were some problems.The front door lock jams. there were no replacement batteries for the air con unit control when the batteries in the controls died.Also one of the other guests noticed that the fan on the woodturning stove was not working.Our group would love to book for next kings birthday, but only if these issues are fixed. The outdoor studio was a cosy nook, and fantastic for me as I needed to rehearse for a festival gig.having the beach close by was a real asset. Please email me: to confirm that you are willing to get these issues fixed. Once Ive had this confirmation I'll book us in for next year if your place is vacant on those dates Warm Greetings Rachel
