Delightful Stay
Very nice short stay. Arrived around 7pm and was greeted by owner and he helped us find a local place to eat at since it was late. He cooked us a big full breakfast the next morning! Yum!

Guesthouse on really small quiet town
Really nice place, its actually a house. Kidds beach is a really small town, quiet, peaceful, beautiful beach and not much around besides a pub and a teahouse. I suggest for guests that are moving around with a car Its actually self catering, didnt see anyone around during our stay (which is actually nice because of the trust factor).... beautiful cat :)
