Sandur Holidays from AU$1,545

The house is beautiful and the view is lovely. We watched the boats on the water for hours. The dish washer did have mold and the shower had a bubble in the wall. The water was also somewhat low pressure if that matters to you. The place really does nail the modern comforts with traditional aesthetic. The signing book was an adorable touch. Really enjoyed the place we doubled up in the two rooms and still had plenty of room to ourselves. The location gives one easy access to the nearby towns for shopping and food and the nearby families make the whole place feel safer. If noise is a factor the place is just above a pretty major roadway

On the day I checked in, there were a few issues—the hairdryer was broken, the lights didn’t work, and the Wi-Fi was down. However, after I contacted the host, everything was fixed by the next day. The room was smaller than I expected, but the kitchen was fully equipped with all the utensils and even seasonings, so I didn’t need to buy anything. Just make sure to bring your own cooking oil! There were cafés and a beach nearby, and the views were beautiful. The drive to get there was fun, and I even got to hike to a waterfall close by.
