"Good location and limited on site parking, but street parking was good.
Staff were exceptional, a pity they have sold out and are moving on. Breakfast is basic cereal, toast and coffee but there is kitchen availability with fridge and dish washer if you wish to use it. WiFi was poor in front room but great in the dinning area towards the rear of the house. Overall basic but well run, we would stay with the hosts again."
"Great stay. Overlooking the bay and sea. Railway noise insignificant despite overlooking the line . No road noise despite being on SH1.
Accidentally left items behind- very helpful hosts solved the problem.
Great location walking to beach by and town. Highly recommend."
"Single-glazed windows right on SH1 meant I could hear every truck throughout the night. Terrible sleep! Also, the walls were thin so I could also hear the snorer next door. The shower was terrible... I could go on. However, I find in these situations that the manager is not the owner, and so has no ability to upgrade the property. The owner takes their lease payments and the manager apologises on their behalf. The manager of this property was very efficient and friendly. "
