Open and bright. Very relaxing. Nice coastal feel. Close and convenient to all shops. Love to make this a regular stay.
A very clean & tidy apartment in easy walking distance to the beach. Older style block but very comfortable.

Clean and well equiped. Great view through the trees down to the beach and breakwater. These are also easy to access via nearby steps. Nice cafe just down the hill. All up pretty good!
