Loved our family stay at this property. Amazing location with beautiful views. Appreciated the fully fenced front and back yard for our dog. Wish there was laundry service available, however clearly stated in property details with recommendation on where to go. Access to bay was straight across the road. Heaps of parking! Will definitely be revisiting.

It was our second visit to this property. We really love the location, and it's a really relaxing environment to do a little or alot. This will become an annual event, the beaches are beautiful and the fresh seafood is wonderful.
