We had a great stay at the cottage. It was in a fabulous location in easy walking distance of the beach and the lake and all they had to offer. It had everything we needed, kitchen was really well equipped and it was all very clean and tidy. Great value for money and while we didn’t meet Rick he was always quick to respond to any questions and super helpful

A clean, quiet, comfortable beach shack that is excellent value for money. Everything you need is provided and check in is simple. The beds were comfortable, the location perfect for what we needed and the back deck was a lovely spot to read in the winter sunshine. One note - the front door is locked and unable to be used so you need to come around the back which includes a few large steps. This won’t be a problem for most people, but worth checking if someone in your party has mobility issues.

Great facilities including a fully equipped kitchen, although it took a few minutes to find some things which were not in the expected places. Couldn't find an instruction folder but eventually worked out how the window blinds and TV functioned but couldn't work out how to unlock/open the front door.. Beds very comfortable and a pretty peaceful location so slept well.

Pleasant renovated beach shack

We enjoyed ourselves at this property. It was clean and comfortable, kitchen had what we needed and there was a massive TV. It was a reasonable price for a 2 bedroom house. The backyard could be improved but the deck was nice.

Absolutely fantastic

Clean and comfortable. The house is old though solid and warm. We chose the worst possible week to travel (1 in a 100 year flooding) though the house was very solid and had no leaks. Close proximity to beach, bay, shops, main road. Pretty much every convenience just down the road.Great location, well looked after and fair price.Thanks

Don't judge a book by its cover

We were a little concerned pulling up to this property as it looked pretty rough on the outside! But the inside was clean and tidy. Proximity to the beach was fantastic and overall was a great stay.
