Pleasant stay

This is an authentic old bach with the added bonus of an outdoor spa. Though it’s located on the property of the owner it is private. It was tidy and clean with a comfortable bed. It wasn’t as close to the Lake Ferry hotel as we’d ideally have liked but overall it was an enjoyable stay in an interesting area for exploring Palliser Bay.

Comfy, homely, private bach. Spa :) great shower, efficient small wood burner. We couldn't see how to turn on the TV so a sheet of instructions would have been nice.

Great location though the bnb property leaves a poor first impression with four vehicles parked in same entrance area and close neighbours on two other sides. Great job in providing a privacy area for outside seats and spa. Our only gripe was that the spa pool was cold and needed 8 hrs to heat. As we were only staying one night and a spa was our main point of visiting this was disappointing as I had mentioned it while booking. The fire was also difficult to light as there was no kindling or fire starters. We would have enjoyed our stay but for two simple things that I would think were no brainers for a thoughtful host.
