Chosen for location close to Motor Camp

The property was very comfortable and generally met our needs. The shower was a little cramped and shower head kept flipping down. We weren't able to tighten the fitting. The narrow drive and tight turning circle into carport necessitated backing in or out for larger vehicle.

Fantastic location

Lovely property however the house needs a thorough clean as quite dusty, carpet needs a deep clean. We couldn't use the BBQ as still had food remnants on the plates.

Good location, tidy house

The bed arrangement was different to what was in the house description which created some issues to us (there are no bunk beds). The house is very small and isnt really equipment for the amount of people it can sleep. Even cooking for 4 people and eating inside required some adjustments. Overall very good location, super close to the beach, nice beds and tidy house. Its more of a "sleep only, spend all your time outside - kinda house".

Great family bach in good location

Nice cosy bach in great location and very clean and comfortable. Vanessa was great to deal with and would definitely come back again. Thanks for a lovely holiday!

Tidy, all the little touches Count!

This Bach you noticed all the small things that the owner put out for you like tea, coffee, sugar, salt, pepper, washing powder etc. Kitchen was well equipped and the stove and oven are just as good as what we use at home! Made cooking a breeze. The two things that could have been better was the cleanliness of the shower floor, you could see the dirt on it and would scratch off. And would be good if the door of the upstairs bedroom closed/ door handle worked. Apart from that we will stay again! They cater for animals too! Also a kayak in the back yard and a paddle in the hot water cupboard! Thanks a lot We really enjoyed our stay!
