If you like rustic charm then this could be the place for you. The cabin had a lot of natural grain wood finish if that's your thing, natural quiet surroundings, horses and an outdoor pizza oven. The owner is very friendly and check out times are very relaxed. Will definitely stay there again if we are in the area.

It's in a magical location with a special atmosphere all of it's own. If you look past the cobwebs, spiders and walls in desperate need of a paint, the important amenities (sheets, kitchen, floor, toilet) were clean. An enjoyable stay!

This property is at a beautiful location. The accommodation has a lovely stream in front. Seaview and (native) trees. The cabin looks nice but wasn't overly clean and could do with some love and maintenance. Unfortunately there was a course happening right in front of the cabin we stayed in, this course was on exactly during the time of our stay. We experienced this as disturbing and didn't add to a pleasant peaceful stay.
