Great family house close to beach

We loved our stay at Suntan Cottage. A simple house, very clean and comfortable with lots of attention to detail in regard to supplies and equipment (eg a tea pot and a coffee plunger!). Several communal spaces inside and out make it easy to share with different age groups and 2 families could share easily also. A quick walk to the beach or a quick drive to the patrolled section gives you good options each day.

Six of us had a very enjoyable stay for a week.

Suntan Cottage is very comfortable and well equipped. It accommodates well with two living areas. It’s quiet and close to the lovely beach which is unpatrolled. The table tennis table was a bit of fun.

Excellent large house with everything you need

This house was excellent. Four large bedrooms, 3 living areas and a well equipped kitchen made it a comfortable stay for our two families with small children. Outdoor space had BBQ and table tennis table, two TV areas and an additional space we used as a play room. The two bathrooms were clean and laundry was well equipped for a week long stay. This house had little extras like plenty of detergent, washing powder, salt and pepper, foil, enough toilet paper for our week etc which are often missed from holiday houses and can make a bigreat difference to your overall experience. We stayed over new years and there was even champagne and chocolates in the fridge for us. Easy 5 minute walk to the beach, close to Cheeky Cow cafe. Magnificent. Highly recommend. Thanks for the stay.

Beach holiday

Property nar the beach and a great cafe, especially after my early morning walk. The house was clean and tidy and had enough space for my family of 5 to play inside and out. The house had all amenities required and we had a great stay.
