Great place for a family to stay. It was well appointed with everything we could need- including kids toys and books which they were delighted about! We were stuck here an extra day due to weather and the host was extremely understanding- making sure we had what we needed to be comfortable during this time!

We loved staying at Mark’s bach, and especially appreciated the late check out time compared to some other properties. The bach feels like a “home away from home” with everything you need to have an enjoyable beach holiday. Thanks and hope to book again soon.
