Reviewed Jun 3, 2026Cleanliness is superb! Literally everything and everywhere in the place is very clean and we enjoyed the stay!
Just remember to bring your own shampoo, landlord has confirmed they do not provide the shampoo.

Reviewed Apr 5, 2026good location, nice and clean house with washing machine, dish washing and dryer.
it will be perfect if providing additional towels and milk for the second day.

Reviewed Mar 22, 2026Plenty of parking for the truck plus the boat right outside the house. The house was well-equipped with everything we needed, and more. The house was clean and tidy, and the rooms were spacious. We loved sitting in the wee conservatory, looking out at the garden and the hills beyond. There were even cherry tomatoes that were growing in the garden right outside - yum! The local supermarket was just down the road - a quick 5 minute drive. Absolutely loved this place!
Just a dud can-opener that didn't work! That's all! We seriously loved this place!

Reviewed Jan 1, 2026Had a washing machine and dryer which was very useful. Good location and value for one night stay. Bathroom was nice and clean.
No tissues, and only toiletry provided is body wash. Need to bring your own shampoo and conditioner. This is the first time I haven’t seen it in an accomodation so was surprised. Receptionist seemed to scoff when I asked.

coming from the south it was easy to confuse 201 as 201A. and it was noisy at night being on the main State Highway 1

Reviewed Apr 25, 2025Clean and tidy. Old bones but newly renovated. Great spot. Plenty of yard space.

Reviewed Mar 5, 2025The living area was lovely and very clean. The kitchen was immaculate, with everything needed for our stay. The large bedroom was very comfortable as away from the road noise, but the twin bedded room was far too noisy.
The road noise was intolerable, my Sister who had the twin bedded room got little or no sleep. So the owner needs to fit double glazed windows or some form of soundproofing. It is a real shame as the house was lovely but I could not recommend it because of this.

Reviewed Mar 2, 2025This was a recently renovated little house that was quite comfortable for two couples. Laundry was a bonus. Heads up that the alarm for the volunteer fire department is right outside of the house. It went off during the day but it would be startling in the night. The host did leave notes on it though so we werent alarmed.
You really cant access the beach from here. You still need to drive a bit to get there.

Reviewed Jul 19, 2024The pictures don’t do it justice. This place is renovated and clean. Lots of space for baby to crawl around. We wanted a place with laundry - this was perfect! I really appreciated all the counter space in the kitchen too. Sadly could only stay one night.
The entry to the driveway is a bit tight (but I’m not a great parking person anyway)
