This was our second stay here, and once again it exceeded expectations. The location is fantastic, the accommodation offers excellent value for money, and everything was exceptionally clean and well presented. Alice is an amazing host who goes above and beyond to make guests feel welcome. We really appreciated the complimentary wine, milk and water, as well as the early check-in, which made our arrival so much easier. We wouldn't hesitate to stay again and highly recommend this property.

Perfect for our family of five to relax for a weekend away. It had everything we needed. We all loved the lounge room as it was comfy and had enough seating for all of us. Having a bath was a real bonus. All the beds were comfortable and the neighbourhood was quiet ensuring a good sleep away from home. Alisa was a thoughtful host and would recommend GiGs place to all. We will definitely be back. As an aside I would take groceries with you as takeaway options are limited/ expensive. We took some but in future would take more if staying longer. Happy Room Cafe was great for dinner. Bowls Club and RSL enjoyable for a drink. Sandy Beach Reserve a nice hangout spot to fish/ swim or for the kids to play. Overall a fantastic weekend away. Thanks again.
