Wonderful stay. Relaxing, comfortable and perfect location. We stayed 2 weeks. Kitchen was well fitted out for basic cooking. Excellent laundry. Very comfortable beds. Highly recommended. We will stay again!
Honestly, this place was one of the BEST we’ve stayed at. Clean. Well stocked. Lovely atmosphere. Private and so well looked after. We had a blast, thank you.

Thanks Kirsten! We'd love to have you back any time.
We're also letting out the top house from mid January 2024 so when you're next heading north have a look. We're getting kayaks ready for guests to use too.
A really great place to stay. The flat has everything you need and a beautiful view of the beach and the sea. Just a short walk, can be mostly on the beach, to the Cooper's Beach shops.

Thanks Aaliyah! We're so happy you enjoyed your time at Davinas! Making fun memories is exactly what we hope for our guests, so it's wonderful to hear that.
Couldn't have been happier with our stay at Davinas Coopers Beach. Such a beautiful idyllic location. Great fishing off the rocks too! My daughter left her watch behind and the host kindly posted it to us. Could not recommend this place enough :)
A wonderful place to stay with Canadian visitors. Stunning views and easily accessible to a beautiful sandy beach.
The apartment is spacious and well equipped.
