Reviewer Comments:
The owner Peg was accommodating and greeted me shortly after I arrived and provided information about the property eg. water pipes knocking, DVD about local area, location of extra blankets etc. I guess it's my fault for assuming in 2022 in accommodation that was listed as "Minimum 4 nights stay" that there would be Wi-fi but I was very surprised when informed there was none with Peg stating it was because she is technology illiterate. Thats a bit of a cop out in 2022! I said that was fine because I would hot spot from my phone. Peg then informed me there was also no phone reception when inside my accommodation!!! She said if I walked out the front to the road I should be able to get reception! That's fine if you want a technology free holiday but if you don't, bad luck! Although the property is approximately 200m (as the crow flies)from the beach, it is a 2+km walk to actually access it. Peg said there was a track to the beach just down the end of the street, thats true it goes to where you can see the beach but you can't access it. The cooking facilities in the unit are very primitive and with no exhaust fan (or ceiling fan) if you use either of the hot plates or old school oven, the unit quickly fills with any smoke that is a by-product of frying or roasting. If you open the only window and the sliding door access it is possible to dissipate the smoke eventually. To address the constantly cold room (freezing overnight) there is tiny three fin oil heater (which at one stage I thought of putting in the bed with me) which does little to heat the room and explains why there are a number of extra blankets in the unit. If you are looking to spend $140per night (minimum 4 nights) to stay in a cave with no phone reception or modern technology, has 1980's cooking facilities and a 2+km walk to the beach, this maybe the spot for you.For me there is much better value elsewhere
