Relaxing holiday.

Property is better looked after now specially with the air cons. Had problems with the toilet not flushing on Sunday morning. Rang agent plumber fixed on the Sunday. Very quiet, lovely walk to Picnic Bay. I will be back for sure.

Whitehaven 2

Clean but extremely basic. Unattractive unwelcoming external presentation. Unsuitable for many guests. 1.5 star rating overall
Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023
Response from VrboOwner on 6 Jul 2023
Thanks for your review. As you did not actually stay in the property we find the 1 star to be a little bit unfair. The property is presented exactly as it is, an older style house with very basic furnishings and a low price that accurately reflects this. Whitehaven2 has proven to be very popular for many guests and appeals to the budget friendly traveller, and those who would like to bring their pet with them for their beach holiday.
