Host was extremely welcoming, this was our second time staying at silvertop retreat. We love the house and location it’s so easy to walk to all the local restaurants and shops and also the beach. The only thing to improve the experience would be to have a few more extra amenities, paper towels, cling wrap and olive oil spray for the BBQ.

Fantastic beach house with everything you could need. Excellent location, just a short walk to the main street and the beach. Beautiful garden and lovely front verandah to sit outside. The backyard was quite large too. The beds and pillows were very comfortable, kitchen was well-equipped, everything was in great condition and very clean. There was a bath too, which was great for our young daughter as she doesn’t like showers. The host was very helpful and easy to contact. We would love to stay here again.
