The property was small inside but was fine for four adults with a small dog. It was clean and had a great selection of appliances, (washing machine, dryer and additional refrigerator outside in the larger shed).The weather was rubbish during our stay, but at least the accommodation made up for it. We would stay again.

This was an incredible stay, with a fully stocked kitchen and house. Easy to check in, beautifully clean, and had everything in the kitchen to support a surf trip and BBQ for us. They had games, pogo stick, BBQ, DVDs and more so there was not a single thing we could possibly need. Loved that we could have the dogs there, and the photos are accurate to the real property. Close to the beach, and a great outdoor area to hang out in. Would stay here time and time again when we come back to Riverton!
