Perfect place for a weekend getaway

We had the most relaxing and comfortable stay at the Nifty Nook during the June long weekend. The place is spacious, clean and well organised with close proximity to all the local attractions on the island. Our host was also great with communication which added to our enjoyable trip.

Guess I was a bad guest, lost a key!

Lovely but we did not have a number to locate property & didn’t know how to operate the lock box )our fault), then thought the balance was charged automatically so had to get a payment in & then left with a key in my pocket (packed) still trying to get it mailed back! So sorry.

Fantastic place to stay

A really wonderful place to stay, with hosts that are helpful and easy to communicate with. Pictures are accurate, it's clean, spacious and really well appointe. The location is great so you are not in the busy part of the island yet you are close enough that everything is easy and quick to get to. Highly recommend, would gladly stay here again.

An Enjoyable Stay

The accommodation was new and very clean. It was spacious inside but is best suited to a couple as there is only 1 bedroom and any additional guest/s needs to utilise the foldout couch. Location was very central on the island but the main road is very close and there is some road noise. The bedroom would benefit from a blockout curtain, as the venetian blind let light in when the sun rose. Communication was excellent and friendly. Thank you! We really enjoyed our stay.
