Absolute Paradise

This is probably the nicest little bach getaway we've ever had. Cushla our host was wonderful and fast communication. The property is well appointed. It has everything you could need for a relaxing, comfortable stay, including a spa to relax in. The air con was wonderful on the hot nights too. We liked that the section was fully fenced, so it was safe for our little dog, to come and go as she needed and we enjoyed fresh tomatoes and basil from the garden too! The water is at the gate, the laid back, peaceful beach commumity vibe is great and being able to have our dog there was wonderful. We were really sad we could only spend 2 nights and would LOVE to come back soon. Thank you so much for a refreshing break away from the real world. Your little slice of paradise is truly HEAVEN.

Home away from home

A great little bach in a quiet and charming location. We loved the way Cushla generously opened her home to us, with everything we needed to make our stay memorable. We hope to be back soon!
