We had 3 nights at Dolphin Bay in late January-early February. The location is great, quiet at the end of a no exit with access to a rocky beach just down the road. The view is amazing.
The accommodation was good, practical, just right, fair. Cleanliness was good overall. The amenities were just right and practical. Good bedding, enough extra blankets, bathroom is functional, laundry is handy too. The host had very good communication and was very accommodating to requests.
Some things to consider that may require some maintenance/attention and would improve the experience:
- there are some nails sticking out on the deck to watch out for, a quick hammering would solve the problem
- the dining table is very wobbly and would need some tightening
- kitchen:
- there was no cooking oil or condiments left for cooking
- there was no aluminium foil or glad wrap provided
- there was a small amount of paper towels left
- there was no tools/ustensils to clean the barbeque with
- it would be more practical having a double plug to be able to plug in the microwave, the fridge and the toaster
- there was 2 rolls of toilet paper provided which may not be sufficient for up to 7 people
- the drying line may need some attention as the concrete block is loose in the ground and makes the line leaning on one side.
- unless we could not see it, there was no DVD player, just a freeview box under the TV
- if water conservation is a concern, a recommendation could be to add a dishwasher in the kitchen and a more water efficient washing machine
Overall, we would recommend to anyone wanting some peace and proximity to several beautiful locations, whether in small numbers or with the family and kids. We hope this helps.
