Summer Break
Loved the place with all the facilities - limited instructions eg. TV use, and information about the area. Didn't realise how close the neighbours were and had to keep curtains closed most of the time to prevent neighbours on all sides seeing in. Wonderful and close access to the beach. Great to have our dog with us and would stay again but be wary of being there when other neighbouring baches had guests.

Cute bach, close to the beach
Loved our stay at Wee Gem. Cabin worked perfectly for the kids, large grass area was awesome to kick the ball around & fully fenced which was great for the dog. Super close to the beach & coffee caravan. Lovely quiet location.

Cool little place on big section
Awesome little bach on a big section. The main area has a double bed and couches +a kitchen and walled off toilet shower in one corner, great for a couple. You could sleep plenty of people in the nice little sleepout, small but with lots of beds packed in. Big nice grassy lawn with a private bbq area. Super close to the beach and great to have use of the kayaks. Only room for improvement would be the kettle, which spills when you pout it, otherwise a very well stocked kitchen with four burner gas hob and small bench top oven. Lots of cutlery and plates etc.

Best value for money
Me and 3 mates stayed at the Bach for 3 nights. It had everything we needed. The outdoor area is amazing and private. Good size outdoor umbrella to protect from the sun. Highly recommended.
