Amazing view!

We had a wonderful few days so close to the beach- bird watching, swimming, & beach cricket. Great for families with plenty of walks and things to do close by. The bach was clean and had everything we needed.

The location was fantastic and we loved the deck. The only negative was that the main bedroom stank of urine and the couch base was broken. This was quite impactful on ou r stay as sleeping in the bedroom was awful and we could not relax on the couch . We would stay at the location again but not at that accommodation

Gorgeous Getaway

Thank you for a wonderful stay. A comfortable and well set-up beach house in a truly stunning location - plenty of space for five adults. Wonderful to be lulled to sleep at night and woken in the morning by the gentle sound of the tides - was almost like having a private beach. Hard to leave, and would love to return.
