Perfect stay
Great location by the beach, with brewery and fish’n chips also around the corner. Very tidy little unit that was just enough for two couples, with a lovely private lawn area to relax in as well. Jody and Jeff were perfect hosts and we loved the complimentary staple items.

So an amazing place
My family and I stayed in this cozy house for over a week. Once we arrived the place was so tidy and warm. With a block away from the beach and not even four blocks from Gizzy town , the location is perfect. Also can’t say enough about the owners, they were very helpful, friendly and kind. Definitely would stay again ..

Excellent in every way
The two bedroom house was immaculate, beautifully fitted out and extremely comfortable to live in with a private garden and yard. The hosts were lovely people, very willing to help in any way. We got given fruit on arrival and the kitchen, bathroom and laundry were very well equipped. Cleaning products and workable equipment were all laid out and plenty of bathroom goodies (this is rare from my experience with other holiday homes). The location was perfect, just a nip across a quiet street to a most beautiful safe surf beach with white sand and a great walkway. The information centre and shops were very handy just around the corner. There were great city walks and a close drive for further exploring. I would definitely come here again. Thanks so very much to the owners for a wonderful stay.
