    Relaxing Getaway

    Peaceful 2 storey cottage with lovely entertaining area out the back including BBQ and firepit. Best of all only a 5 minute walk to the beach. Cottage itself came with everything you need for an enjoyable stay. Owners John and Irene were very friendly and welcoming. Would not hesitate to stay here again. Would highly recommend this beautiful getaway

    Great little place!

    Nice little property. We booked a single night as a last-minute school holiday getaway but this would be perfect for a longer stay. Quiet, clean and tidy, plenty of space indoors and out for the three of us, and close to the beach. We'll be back!
