Fantastic stay had. Only there for one night but wish it was longer. The space was perfect for our group of 3 as was the location. Only a short walk to the water. Really had good to get the kayaks out but u fortunately the weather and time didn’t allow.Will definitely be back!

According to my wife Elizabeth and Sister vising from England, the holiday bach was just perfect for our stay. They couldn't of wished for anything better. Beds were so comfortable and it was so peaceful and quiet. The only let down was it rained on our last day. The beach walks was great. Look forward to visiting again.
