Thanks to Simone and Chris for our family stay. The backyard and view to the open surrounds was very relaxing and we enjoyed this at sunset especially. The property was comfortable and clean for us on arrival and a good size for 5 of us. The fire was a nice additional on the cooler evenings. Highly recommended.

Nice quiet location, we'll kept property

Quiet, great location . House had everything you need, chocolates on arrival were a nice touch. Backyard was lovely but not pet friendly as the fencing doesn't enclose at all on the property. As well as not being able to let our dogs out alone we also had other dogs come into the yard. We enjoyed our stay, but luckily spend most of our time out & about with our dogs & they are crate trained. Wouldn't recommend people just wanting to come & relax with there dogs. Should be clear in property description that property isn't fenced. Thanks, Kind Regards, Fiona

Hi Fiona, Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your stay apart from the issues with the dog and the non secure yard. We will re-look at the wording of our ad and update as appropriate. We do indicate the pets will be considered - but to discuss with us. We will make sure it’s more clearly communicated. Kind regards Simone

Cosy, welcoming home

We loved our stay here. The house had everything you could need, was comfortable, clean and quiet. Our dogs enjoyed the garden, which although not entirely fenced, we still felt comfortable having them in. Easy walk to the Main Street. Will stay here again for sure. Very happy memories.

So cosy

Sunset at the Heads is definitely a great place to stay. While some older fixtures remain it is immaculately clean & comfortable, the kids loved the sleepout & table tennis was a hit. It’s an easy flat walk to town. The hosts were great to deal with, always quick to respond. Thanks for a lovely aeaster stay.
