Family Holiday

Well set up and easy to stay home. It had everything we needed for our stay. Beautiful position by the beach and the bird life was delightful.

Gorgeous Bach

Lovely bach in an awesome location. We loved relaxing and looking out at the water and strolling along the beachfront walkway. Kids had a blast climbing the trees and playing on the beach. Would definitely visit again.

Beautiful spot

Fantastic property and location. Easy access to the beach for paddleboarding and walkway for bikes. Enough lawn space for a kick around. The view from sunrise to sunset was lovely. The layout of the house worked well for our group. It was particularly cold so either a heat pump in the hallway or warmer bedding would have been a bonus.

we loved being so close to the water . loved the walk into town via the water. the windows were not clean so when the light shone on it wasnt good. I guess that is an ongoing problem near sea water.. also a few big cobwebs. thanks again you house was lovely xx

Best getaway

Highly recommend this bach because the space that a 8 person needs was more than enough. Very good space in bedroom, bathrooms, toilets, washing room and more importantly the kitchen and living room. Having a teen in the house was good to have his own quality living room space. Whats not to love with food and a view. For sure we will be back for some beach time and for a nice stroll at night to the local cafe. Very good price and affordable

Great location and modern amenities

We have only a few gripes. No info sheet with internet password. Blender was disgustingly dirty and hadn’t been cleaned in weeks. TV trays for bedside tables in master bedroom were poor substitute. Recycled bin was full when we arrived and we had no info as to pick up day.
