"The self contained unit was well present and very clean. Set with all the necessities to make our stay easy and relaxing. Communication with manager Monica was clear and direct. She was knowledgeable about the island and happy to share. The accommodation is on a bus route and close to the local shops. The pool was a particular treat. Surrounded with lush greenery, shady for almost the whole day and temperature was pleasantly cool. Absolutely would recommend!"

The Little Bush Hut, Nelly Bay
9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (11)
"The Little Beach Shack is lovely.. set in natural and very private surroundings. My husband and I enjoyed the peace, seclusion and watching the wildlife from our terrace. The Shack itself is very comfortable and extremely well equipped. The bed is comfortable and the furniture is also relaxing. A full sized fridge is always a good thing and the cooking facilities are very good. The inclusion of two bikes is a good idea for some people and the choice of two outdoor sitting areas (front and back)...

"Home was cosy and spacious. Very private and we loved how cold the aircons were and how comfortable the beds were. A large TV in the lounge was a huge hit for my kids. Also worth mentioning that we did not hear one plane during our 3 days stay considering the airport is close by. Just needs some maintenence as the refrigerator wasn't cold enough both fridge and freezer struggled. Toilet struggled to flush thus causing a clog.
