This is a delightful property which is clean and pleasantly furnished. We loved our host's invitation to use the herbs and veggie garden. The bird life in the back garden was an unexpected delight. We went for long slow walks along the beach and in the bush.

A lovely house in a charming town

The cottage is very sweet, clean and comfortable. We loved the spacious sunny garden and the cosy fireplace. Coffee beans and electric blankets were much appreciated.
