great spot great price thanks guys
Idyllic location, I hope no one finds out about this area. House was quintessential beach shack, airy bright with breath taking views. Perfectly located, a great space for family or just a get away

Great location beach shack.
This property is in close proximity to Killick Beach. The garden is lovely and the updated kitchen is good. While we are grateful there was a property in our price range, holiday makers should know the bunk bed room is not private and doesn't have a sealed wall, ceiling fan or its own door. The mattress in the "main" bedroom is the least comfortable of the three double bedrooms.

Great location and house. Was disappointed as booked to house to hang out on the balcony but it is unsafe to go out onto. Looks like has been like that for a while. Need to let people know before as we probably would not have booked it.
House was not presented as in photos very run down ants everywhere, balcony unstable and overpriced location was fantastic that’s about it.

Good location. Great service from Elders. Kitchen needs things to be thrown out and replaced that are dirty and unusable. Barbecue dirty and unusable. Electrical switches in some rooms faulty. Deck blocked off ..unusable. no wifi. But it is cheap and we enjoyed our stay.

Quaint cottage, but would benefit from a bit more upkeep.Screens on windows or screen door on back door would make it much more liveable, for fresh air, without the bugs. Ants seem to be trying to move in, and we are use to this but some people would be put off by this.Location is good, and we would return

All was great and I’ll use the house again.The booking systems are flawed though. I originally booked through WotIf, who took my bank details as part of the booking confirmation. I received an email from elders realestate as well requesting payment t by bank transfer. I paid elders directly by bank transfer immediately to secure the property. The next day WotIf also took payment from my credit card. So I paid twice!! Elders realestate kindly arranged for a refund of one of the payments. But this issue left me out of pocket for a few days. Pls fix the booking system.
Fabulous house to stay, clean, comfortable with a beautiful view and great vibe. Perfect spot for 4 retired work colleagues to get together for a catch up.

Was all good no problems thanks
older beach house with great views comfortable enough lounge and beds. Dont leave food or fruit out on kitchen bench because it will get eaten by wildlife. Really needs Wi Fi in this day and age.
