Stunning location and impressive house. Views were captivating. Didn’t need a Tv for that reason.

Five class location & view, 2 star furnishings Excellent view, location and could be amazing but unfortunately let down by old grubby kitchenware, not enough fans or any air on, no real beach gear and cheap furnishings. We enjoyed our stay but paid a lot so expect 5 star everything at that price. Could be easily fixed with some basic repairs and replacements.

Thank you for your review, sorry for the confusion, we do not state that there will be beach gear on hand, and we do our best to keep the images honest for the furnishings, but we will do a review of this.
Hope to see you back, and thank you for choosing Bachcare.
The Lookout was perfect for a relaxing getaway. We loved the location, and the view over the ocean was pure magic. The property was secluded and it had everything we needed. Cleanliness could have been slightly better but this didnt hinder our stay. We would definitely come back!
