A nice big, clean house in a fantastic location with a wonderful heater pool. So close to the Portsea Pub, and the hosts were in regular contact to make sure we were comfortable throughout our stay. We were even able to request a late check out last minute, which was incredibly helpful and accommodating for our family. Highly recommend — we’d absolutely love to come back again next year.

Perfectly positioned in Portsea, our group enjoyed our stay at Skomer. Just a stroll to the local pub where we attended a wedding.
