We had a wonderful stay at Roaring Beach and couldn’t recommend it more highly. From the moment we arrived, it felt welcoming and genuinely pet friendly, which made all the difference for us. The property was clean, beautifully maintained, and truly felt like a home away from home.The location is unbeatable—right opposite a dog-friendly beach—making it perfect for relaxed walks and easy days by the water. The accommodation itself was very well appointed, with everything we needed for a comfortable and restful stay.It was an incredibly relaxing experience overall, but the absolute highlight was being able to see the aurora from the verandas—an unforgettable and magical moment that made our stay extra special.
