Great Sty!

We had a great stay. The house was clean and had a great yard for the kids and dog to play. The back porch and bbq were a great place to relax in the sun. It’s only a short 10min walk down a tree lined dirt track to beach and a short drive or longer walk to town. The house was ready with tea coffee milk etc and was well setup. The house is older (as shown in the photos) but is great. A bigger/nicer kitchen table would be good, but our family of 6 fit no problems. Would definitely recommend and stay again.
