Our older style cottage is comfortable, tidy and well equipped for families, with kids toys and games provided. The grounds are spacious, with beautiful established trees and native birdsong. The deck is great for enjoying meals outdoors and for relaxing while listening to the sound of the ocean.

- The kitchen and bathroom are both an older style but function well.
- The main bedroom has a queen size bed.
- The second bedroom has a set of bunks and a single bed and is separated from the lounge by a curtain.
- There is also a second set of bunks in the laundry room if required.
