Perfect stay for us with two kids. It was the best 2 days, Steve was lovely and gave us his Kayak to enjoy with kids as well. Very good view from the balcony and close to everything you need.
Steve and Manida were the perfect hosts. Nothing was too much trouble. From sunrise to sunset, the view from the balcony was stunning. Watching the dolphins swim past was the icing on the cake.

Great stay. Steve was very friendly and helpful. Thank you Steve. All the mod cons were there. I didn't bring my own hair dryer but i let my hair dry naturally. A hair dryer is helpful for people with long hair. However it wasnt winter so all good.
We could not speak more highly of Woody's Place and our hosts Steve and Manida. BRILLIANT! 6 stars.

Woody's Place is an exceptional property in a wonderful location. There is nothing you need that is not catered for in this unit. Steve is a welcoming host and is only to happy to help out with anything
The property was very well maintained, clean, plenty of space and stunning outlook. Lovely quiet location but still close enough to many essential amenities. Hosts were very accommodating and friendly. We had a wonderful time at Soldiers Point and will definitely return.
