Bree does an exceptional job of managing this property. Her communication and preparation in the lead up to check-in was excellent. The property is accurately described and well presented.

Loved our Holiday

The property was exactly what we expected and made a great base for our family to explore the island, with no flash bells and whistles just a comfortable place to come home to each night. Bree was a great host and very quick to respond to any questions before and during our stay. Will definitely book here again.

The property doesn't suit fishermen as you are not to fillet fish on site, & getting vehicles out was challenging at times.The host was very friendly & helpful & would recommend this type of accommodation for general holidaying folk (not guests looking for a fishing adventure).
