Well presented home with good bedding and kitchen supplies. Great location. Short stroll to the beach and within a short distance to all that the peninsula offers. This was our second visit to Mirriam Retreat. Look forward to coming back again 😊
This property is well maintained, very well equipped and located in a great area.
We loved our stay, this property close to everything we needed for this holiday. My little one doesn’t want to leave at the end. The experience we had was exceptional. Thanks to Angelina.

Everything was ok.
It’s a shame there is no wifi. Unfortunately there was only one pan so I had to purchase some of my own while I was up there so o could cook. The cutlery was very dirty. Apart from that the house was nice. Thankyou
House could have done with a tidy up in the garden and items laying around outside (appeared to be untidy). On the inside we had cobwebs and dust. The single beds (obviously these were for kids, I was the youngest at 53)) were uncomfortable as spring could be felt through the mattress. Overall a pleasant stay.

Hi Toni.
I am surprised with your review..however will take it on board. Thankyou. Mirriam Retreat.
We were down to do the coast trek 30km charity walk and were very happy to have extremely comfortable beds! Was a nice stay and a good location for both the walk and the hot springs. Thank you!
Clean and tidy house with a great gelato around the corner
We stayed during the recent long weekend and relaxed. The house was clean and had everything we need. Our daughter loved the lounge chairs (of all things) and there is also a bonus great gelato place around the corner meaning we had too much ice cream as a result. The beach is across the road and easilly accessible. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Clean house.
Loved as walking distance to beach.
Only problem was hot water system issues. once in the bath, you get on & off hot water & then cold water. Also water prasure is so low & couldn't get good quality bath after having whole day activities.
Other than that nothing elste to complain.
Response from VrboOwner on 11 Feb 2021
Thank you Anu for your comments. Cannot understand why low water pressure occurred as never had any previous issues but will investigate further.
