We had a fantastic time at this property. So close to the beach. The use of the kayaks was a hit with the kids. Such a well-appointed house and the communication with the owner was superb. The welcome gifts were a pleasant surprise. We would love to stay again

Such gorgeous views, lovely to have use of kayaks, home decor gave all the beach bach holiday feels, and hosts were great at communicating; and the welcome snacks were much appreciated! Games aplenty were a fabulous substitute for wifi when it wasn't beach weather.

We had a wonderful time at Time and Tide over the Easter weekend. The property was perfectly suited to our three- generation family group. The view from the bach was stunning, and we had many lovely meals on the deck. We had fun with the paddle boards and there are many great walks nearby. We particularly enjoyed the walk over to Smuggler's Bay, and then around to Busby Head. Fantastic views - highly recommended.Donna's communication was excellent and always helpful. Thank you for helping us to have a memorable holiday.
