Upstairs is the most special part of this property. It has a large open-plan living room (with full entertainment facilities including Netflix!), dining space and a new kitchen (with dishwasher and microwave). It also features a cool retro bar for mixing your favourite cocktails! Martini. Shaken. Not stirred? Make mine a dirty martini, please :-)

Lovely holiday home with great views

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed (no tumble dryer, might be a nice touch for those winter stays) Beds were very comfortable and plenty of linen and blankets. Nice little sun trap back yard to sit with your 4 legged friends.The views from the balcony are stunning. Easy walk to Whalers restaurant. Pizza restaurant and cafe/shop just about 100 metres away. Lovely walk to Victor along the beach when the tide is out. Nice spot to sit and watch the dolphins jumping after the fish! Thanks for making our few days away so comfortable.

Great Getaway

Couldn't have asked for a better spot. Great views of the sea and weather was kind to us for most of the time. The actual apartment was lovely. We certainly made ourselves at home, and the dog loved it too, although she did guard it like it was hers. Loved being able to hear the sound of the sea. Very relaxing
