Enjoyable stay. FYI - self cleaning required
We had a nice stay at this property - the spa, feijoa trees and fireplace were awesome! The beds and rest of the house were comfortable. Place is 10mins walk to the beach which was lovely. The only negative is that the lounge doesn’t get much sun or natural light, but the fireplace made it warm enough. We also had issues when leaving the place not realising that the cleaning fee we paid only covers laundry of linen. This wasn’t mentioned on the website at the time of booking so something to be mindful of if you don’t want a place that requires self-cleaning.

Lovely spot to relax and unwind
A cute cottage, close to the beach and handy to cafes and four square. A lovely place to spend a few days in peace and quiet. Beautiful garden, and the spa a real treat.

Mixed impression
25 Forrest Road is a spacious 3-bedroom one-storey house in a quiet area. The property is well equipped with washing machine etc, and a hot tub outside (which we didn't use). The problem is cleaning, which seems to be partly left to those using the property. It could do with a good dusting and cobweb clearance. We had to wash plates and cutlery before using. Mice raided a suitcase and nibbled chocolate, which necessitated a complete cleanout.

Our third stay in this very comfortable cottage in a beautiful garden setting. Short walk to the beach, dairy, cafe, and fish & chips shop. Short drive to large shopping centre. Great support from the hosts! Highly recommended!
