There is a shared path, through our garden, down to the pebble beach.

Amazing break!

We had an amazing stay the Beach House, the views of the bay from the balcony are amazing! We loved our daily visits to the beach and finished the day off in the spa. Robyne and John were great hosts and we hope to visit again sometime in the future.

Amazing

The property absolutely blew us away with the amazing view and hot tub overlooking it. Definitely a place that you’ll pick out from a magazine. A lot of fine touches were added to make our stay memorable. The kids love the lil soft toys on their beds and lots of toys as well as board games to keep them entertained. The kitchen space is quite small but well equipped. We mainly utilise the Weber bbq in the decking. The owner lives right next door, which is attached to the property but we didn’t feel that it was an issue. Overall, we highly recommend this Bach. Tip: shut all the windows at night to limit the mosquitoes. Our lil one woke up with 11 bites.
