What an amazing place to stay! So close to the beach, the home itself is huge and well laid out for two small families to share And the views are great for that first thing in the morning coffee watching the sunrise. Loved it!

Stunning House in a Stunning Location

Wonderful property in walking distance of the beach, beautiful sea views and close enough to hear waves crashing on the shore. We were 8 adults and plenty of space for us all. Property was well equipped and perfectly maintained. Highly recommended.

Fantastic holiday home with all you need!

What a gorgeous house, so well appointed, lovely view. Has everything you need for a wonderful beach stay. Beds are comfy, property’s kept so clean and tidy. Only down point was the poor WIFI - but that’s probably the area, Loved all the different seating areas outside - can follow the sun around the decks. Handy to shops, beach and Flatwhite - a lovely cafe/restaurant right across the road. There are 2 super king beds and 2 queens, 2 kitchens and 2 lounge/dining so somewhere for everyone to be either together or seperate for the teenagers. Highly recommend!
