10/10 Excellent
"This house was perfect for our group of 8. Very well equiped, very clean, heaps of room & warm. The only thing Ian couldn't arrange was the weather! We would have loved to use that outdoor fire. My Fat Puku at nearby Claris is highly recommended!"
"Very helpful staff, nice place to stay with stunning views. Just note there are no power sockets apart from a usb socket in the kitchen, complex is run on solar so bring external batteries. Would definitely stay again."
"Ashleigh was a brilliant host. Each communication she had with us was quick, thoughtful, warm and spot on for what we needed. She is one of the best hosts we have encountered. The house has superb views of the bay and was well position to safely ride out a major storm event we got caught up in. We knew we were safe from any risk of flooding or slips. "
"We love GBI this such a great location. Short walk to the cafe,beach, grocery and Irish pub! Plenty of room in the house out outside for kids to play. Beds were cozy! The place was extremely clean. Gavin was great to communicate with. The sunset from this place couldn’t be better! "
