About this property

Family friendly, 5 min drive to the hot springs and a short walk to the beach.

Capel Sound cottage is an old but refurbished house, located conveniently to many of the attractions in the area. It has an updated kitchen and an updated bathroom.
Our house is a 5 min walk from the beach, and a 5 - 7 min drive from the hot springs and the shops. Golf courses and wineries are all just a short drive away.

We offer basic but comfortable accommodation. We keep things simple by not supplying quilts, bed linen or towels, so you will need to bring your own. We only supply mattresses and pillows. Please check our reviews to be sure that our home is suitable for you.

BEDDING
- The main bedroom has a queen-sized bed.
- Bedroom two has a bunk bed with a single top bunk and a double bottom bunk.
- Bedroom three has a single top and bottom bunk.
- There is a double fold out sofa bed in the living area, for extra people, however we don't recommend using it other than as a back up.

Our house has exterior cameras at the front of the property. There are no cameras inside the property.
