9.8/10 Exceptional! (24 reviews)
The whole unit was kept clean and everything needed for kitchen use is available- from whipping up dishes to baking muffins. Quality paper towels and toilet rolls are provided! To find a garden hose to wash our car at the end of our trip was a pleasant surprise.
Hot water is limited to a tank a day. We did experience a short supply on our second night and 2/5 family members couldn’t shower with the cold water on a cold day. The hot water came back the next morning.
The view of the sea is limited as there is a house built right in front of Baudin House.
The information folder proved very useful for the hot water issue (we didn’t panic because of that) and on getting the washer/dryer started.
Overall, it was a decision well made to stay at Baudin. We felt very much like home with the deco and supplies provided, not to mention the strong internet connection that we could not do without.

"Place was decent enough for 2 night stay, but was charged a bomb to be put up in a caravan. A repurposed caravan has been setup as a 2 bedder home, but it’s not near a home at all. Hope host updates the pictures with exterior view and not just internal only."
