Location, location, location (And space!)

Super spacious, simply furnished beach house with lovely views over the water and opposite the awesome swing bridge café. Not glamorous but everything you could want

A great place with a beautiful view, and a walk into town or the beach.

Liked: Communication, location

Lovely ocean views

The house is definitely better suited to a group or family and friends with some children. It could sleep 9 - we were only 4 adults. Cleanliness was a bit of an issue (large bundle of hair in en suite bathroom) and a large canvas roof covering over the barbeque was bulging with wet leaves and debris which dripped on our heads while barbequing. The main bedroom has a very uncomfortable bed and mattress.

Unreal position

The whole family really enjoyed our time at Swing bridge house. Didn't use our car once, and surfed a few times each day. Shops very close

Generally good

It's a good holiday house but too expensive for the quality. Plus the river under swingbridge really stinks.

Great location.

This is a big house in a fantastic location. It is a bit tired and dated and worn. It does have everything you need and is a very practical beach house.
