About this property

**Argyll Retreat **

Located less than 100m from the beach top and childrens's playground, this fresh solid 3 bedroom home will impress. A large deck with great indoor/outdoor flow is an entertainers delight. A 2 minute walk will have you in the town centre and a popular restaurant is opposite. Double garage with internal and external wheelchair access, complemented with a disabled bathroom.
The garage is lined and insulated and would sleep countless kids, also options to pitch a tent on the lawn.

Nice and closer to the beach

This is situated in a great location. Would be good to have heaters on every room. One heater wasn’t working and other room didn’t have one. Otherwise it was a great stay.

Great location with easy access to town and beach. The house is large and accommodating for everyone. The house had plenty of towels, linen and the kitchen well stocked. Overall cleanliness was good. Our group would stay here or recommend Argyll Retreat to other groups wanting yo visit Opunake.

Property was clean and tidy.Enjoyed our stay. Problem was in advertising property. All costs should be advertised as one total value. Frustrating to find after viewing nightly rate that the add ons made it quite an expensive holiday. Frustratingto
