Excellent bach, warm with the fire at nights. Great kitchen, lots of seating outside if sunny. Older place, but roomy for 2 and comfortable. Great value for money. Awesome views from up high.

Tranquility

Lovely old building, beautifully modernised and redecorated, but retains its character. Nicely situated with surrounding native Bush. Tiny glimpse of the sea in the distance, and very peaceful. Obviously a work in progress, and what has been done is of a high standard but we would love to come back again and see how it developes. Everything you could want for a quiet stay. TV although not essential, would be a bonus. Leigh and Kay.

Something Missing

Overall we enjoyed the stay. Obviously the cottage is a work in progress. Lovely bathroom! Peaceful setting and nice views. What was missing? A working TV. Not having a TV is not the end of the world, but a little mention in the listing would suffice. Thanks

Apologies if you found it cold. There are fire starters and 2 firefighters for your use. Because you refused to take away your own rubbish we received a low review from the following guests. Please make sure you understand the property rules prior to using Bookabach and you will find you have a better stay. Good luck
