Great location

Great location and awesome to have kayaks to use in bay. Incorrect instructions provided to access property was a little frustrating. Also linen and towels could do with updating.

Amazing views!

Amazing views and very nicely situated with decks on both sides of house. Comfortable beds and good cooking facilities. Lawn was very boggy so unfortunately we got a little stuck turning around first night but otherwise had excellent time.
