Loved our Holiday

The property was exactly what we expected and made a great base for our family to explore the island, with no flash bells and whistles just a comfortable place to come home to each night. Bree was a great host and very quick to respond to any questions before and during our stay. Will definitely book here again.

Bree was just lovely, such a nice person. The only downside was that we had no power for the whole week we were there, but in saying that Bree ran out some leads from her place so we had a fridge & hot water. Didn't put a damper on our holiday at all. Loved Fraser. Will be back.

The property doesn't suit fishermen as you are not to fillet fish on site, & getting vehicles out was challenging at times.The host was very friendly & helpful & would recommend this type of accommodation for general holidaying folk (not guests looking for a fishing adventure).
