Our stay was brillliant. Thank you so much. What a collection of books! Whoever knew that Ian McEwan had written a short story about the beach? Our only difficulty was upon arrival. We looked at the display of Units shown on the Reception window and found ours missing, which was a little confusing. We'd probably be told in the correspondence where the Unit was situated on the property, but our first instinct was to use the Reception noice-board. Anyway, we found it and would love to return.
Great little place , very clean and tidy , quiet location with everything you need on hand , hosts made sure we arrived ok and had settled in, highly recommended.
We had a lovely weekend stay. It had everything we needed in a beautiful location. The beach is a short walk and the town is just up the hill. Would recommend.
It’s a cut above a caravan park, in an easy to access, small group of cabins. It feels like a well-appointed apartment and is close to the main beach. A great stay
Surf Cottage has all the comforts of home, and is in a great location. Comfy bed, spacious bathroom, well equipped kitchen...and just a short walk to the patrolled surf beach. Wonderful!!
A 5 min walk to the beach and a quiet restful spot for our get away. Well set up kitchen if you’re staying a bit longer too. This is our second visit and plan to come back again.
This cottage is beautifully appointed and superbly maintained. Extremely comfortable and everything you could possibly need. Would stay there again and again.
Our stay at Surf Cottage was a relaxing and a Haven from Home. The unit is comfortably equipped in an ideal location. We had a wonderful stay and had everything we needed plus more.
We had a great weekend getaway here. Perfect location, just minutes to the beach, short walk to the shops. Very relaxing, well stocked utensils, pantry and kitchen. Very cosy and comfortable vibes. Highly recommend
A fantastic spot and a great property for couples or small families. Close to the main surf beach and a short walk to the shops. The owners are friendly and accommodating to any reasonable request.
Perfect getaway. This is the third time we've stayed here for a quick getaway. You can walk to the beach and the shops and the cabin is very comfortable. The host is very responsive and we plan on coming back again next year.
A very comfortable place close to the surf beach and shops. Fantastic for that beach getaway
Stewart and Faye went out of their way to assist in making the booking/ payment process an easy one. The amenities and the “little things” made the break away a relaxing and enjoyable time
