We thoroughly enjoyed our 2-night stay over the Labour Day long weekend. The place is very comfortable, well maintained, and conveniently located — just about a kilometre from the beach and town centre. It’s nicely furnished and has all the facilities you need for a relaxing stay. A great spot for a getaway!

Very spacious common areas and bedrooms. Couple of suggestions for improvement: work to eliminate mildew/mould smell; smart TV to cast shows or log into personal streaming services; Brita or some other kind of filtered water device to reduce plastic bottle waste; basic long shelf life pantry items (spices, cooking spray etc) would have been helpful; clarify to renters that air con is limited to main living area (back rooms were quite stuffy despite ceiling fans) and that the hot water switch still requires hours until hot water available for showers.
