We loved the location and the beautiful view of the ocean. This is a wonderful place for a small family to stay and be able to walk to the beach. The downtown area is lovely with lots of great shops and restaurants. Beautiful area, quiet, private, and comfortable.

Lovely, clean property with all that you need for a good family break away including stunning views, short and easy walk to the beach, bush walks, all the mod cons and supplies you could use and to top it off great neighbours.

Amazing view ... great location ... excellent property

Th property was well presented wit modern furnishings and appliances. All in all very easy and enjoyable to live in. The view was stunning and the beach very walkable(15mins) . The only thing I would like to see would be a few more utensils in the kitchen draws .. but really this would be getting extremely picky. Overall ... Excellent!!!!
