Amazing Views

Absolutely loved this property. The house was so cute with the artistry of the mud brick and inserts and the views were magnificent. The walk down to the beach is worth it. Great to have it as a serviced property rather than a straight Bach so we didn't need to worry about sheets, towels, etc. Highly recommend it.

The property was spotlessly clean with everything supplied,(bed linen and towels) microwave, toaster, kettle, 2 tv's etc. The beds were the most comfortable you could wish for. The views of the harbour were fantastic. The hosts were wonderful, bringing us bread, butter, milk and eggs which we were not expecting. Just a little off the beaten track but don't let that put you off. Highly recommended.

Nice views, but lacking in some areas

The location in general is quite nice, with decent views from upstairs. However, we weren't quite prepared for it to be be stuck in between a bunch of other buildings. Although we didn't see anyone epse around, it lacked privacy and didn't feel like the most restful space unfortunately Also one thing to prepare for is that the shower pressure is almost non existant (fine for some of us, not so great for anyone trying to wash long hair!)
