Quiet cosy house with all you need

Great quiet location with access to own small beach and jetty. couple of minutes walk to the main jetty with some great fishing with fishing gear provided by the hosts! Clean and comfortable 3 bedroom house. Only thing I would improve is having some block out curtains in the bedroom upstairs facing the road as it gets quite bright at 6am. Other than that, would definitely stay again! Completely fenced in as well for the puppies to stay safe

Loved the location and the available kayaks. The bathroom is downstairs and the bedrooms upstairs so that was a little awkward with young kids.

Location and view from the property was really good. Had a small issue where housekeeping only gave us 2 towels even though we paid extra for 4 pax. Called the owner and she delivered us 2 more towels. Fortunately I bought a SIM card with free calls, otherwise it would have been a hassle. Perhaps the owner should allow whatsapp or skype calls over wifi to cater to the guests for such emergencies.
