Family and dog friendly bach

Comfortable bach with everything we needed. Spacious fully fenced garden with plenty of sun and shade which was safe to leave dog and our kayaks etc in while we went to the beach or town. Property owner was friendly and made it very easy for us.

Great location.

Great location. Charming place. Clean and tidy, with quality items in the house, such as good glasses and manchester. Good books/mags. Walking distance to beach- will involve some walking and climbing a steep set of stairs carved in the bush, but we actually really loved going for the walks around the place and benefitted from a bit of excersize. Surrounded by very cool vineyards that are all worth a visit. Private and romantic.
