I can’t speak highly enough of this accomodation. When we got out of the car I saw two beanbags on the deck to sit in and soak up the amazing view, just what we needed for the long weekend. Inside the beautifully decorated cabin was everything we required. The very comfortable bed also faced the amazing view.

Stunning west coast views

We loved our stay, and exploring the beach and walks in the area. The accommodation was very clean, modern and comfortable. Small but had everything we needed. Kids appreciated having Netflix, the chess set and thanks to whoever left four icecreams in the freezer! We enjoyed the nearby lighthouse walk and stunning views.

Reality

Beautiful environment. Wonderful views and privacy. No facility for luggage.Bed mattress protector uncomfortable for movement on sheet. Towels only provided on first day so wet and cold thereafter with no towel rail. Very difficult to alter shower temperature. Very few tea bags. Couldn’t find a chopping board. Microwave oven dangerously high for average person to unload hot dishes. Simple things that are fixable so best of luck.

Unfortunately it rained hard the 2 days we stayed there but it was still beautiful. The day we left we got to see the sun and walk around the path. Highly recommend!

Amazing!

Just such a beautiful spot and the studio was ideal for my aging parents, access was great and enough space for a 'walker'. Had everything we needed and the communication with host was great, super helpful.

Fantastic place - a real gem

We arrived at the beach house. It is amazing. The photos do not do it justice. A very private location with all the home comforts. It has a bbq which is a great bonus. Down some steps and you are on a secluded beach which is really pretty. There are really cute Wekas around the property which come for visits. We stayed 2 nights but wished it had been longer.
