Only slept here really as there is so much to see and do in the area. Needed a top up of tea bags and soap which was promptly delivered. Very handy to town and beaches."

"This lovely home was just perfect. Cosy and inviting right by the beach and grateful we could enjoy this with our dog. The views from the master just so relaxing and blissful to listen to the waves at night, and watch the sun rise. Birdlife galore, sweet garden and everything you could need, or a cafe just a five min bike ride away. Not flashy, but luxury in all the good ways! Thank you!"
