It was a beautiful quiet location right on the beach. The night sky was fantastic. I’ve never seen so many stars. We didn’t see any dolphins in the bay or penguins at porpoise bay either. We were only there for one night though. Don’t know if it was the time of the year. House was clean. I would go back and would recommend to friends.

Loved the closeness to the sea. Great for children. Wonderful long stretch of beach for long walks. The beds were very comfortable and the apartment warm all the time. We could see sea lions and dolphins from our apartment.

Check in was contactless and communication was excellent. We were made aware to bring our own supplies and kitchen equipment was adequate but personally would have liked larger mugs. Shower head and water pressure made showering unpleasant. Unit was clean and comfortable bed with great linen. Wonderful outlook your room.

A lovely sea view, clean and inviting studio. Heaters throughout ensured we were cosy on a cold night. Quite good cooking facilities - a hotplate and microwave, but no oven or BBQ facilities. Prompt communication from the host. Easy off street parking.
