The lady at reception, Kym? Gave us a great welcome and we particularly appreciated that when she noticed my wife's walking disabilities, changed the booking so that we had a chalet with a ramp for easy access. In spite of the wet and windy weather, we were snug in a very nicely appointed room.

Lovely beachside chalet could hear the sea which was great. Sun trap in the evening. Had everything we needed for one night, nice shower and good WiFi. Brilliant sunset from the beach and glow worms were good too!

We had a great stay. The animals (alpacas and goats were fun), the glow worm fell was amazing (we liked it and we have previously been on a glow worm cave tour). The beach access was great. Room was clean and private.

Not directly on beach as there is a privately owned grassy paddock between the units and the beach, but great beach access. Views are very good. Relaxed atmosphere in quiet natural surroundings. Woke up to birds and waves. Recommended.

The listing promises an ocean view, but it is severely obstructed and basically non existent. Also it is close to the beach but not on the beach. The promised WiFi is a joke, yes you can connect to their WiFi but you have basically NO internet. Forget browsing or streaming. The bed’s mattresses are all overused and need replacement.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. From the moment when I asked if the milk she was offering for the tea in our room was UHT and she said we don’t do that here, I knew I was in good hands. The room was clean, the bed was very comfortable. We could just glimpse the waves from our beach front accommodation. We had a lovely walk on the beach. I took a few pics of the llamas. We got excellent advice regarding the glow worm dell and if it hadn’t been raining and blowing a gale, I’m sure we would have seen them (ie we didn’t go!).

We stayed here for one night, beautiful little place. Desk staff was very friendly allowing us to check in early, easy parking right in front of the cabin. Room was clean and bed was comfortable. Complimentary tea and coffee in the room. Staff at the desk helped us find an “off the beaten path” glow worm dell which was so kind of them. Few minutes walk to the beach!
