10/10 Excellent
"Great host, very helpful. Immaculate unit which has been recently stylishly refurbished I understand. Unusual to see a hob in there as well plus a microwave. Didnt use the hob myself but a great addition for someone who wants to cook their own meals rather than rely on the very limited food offerings. Would definately stay here again."

8/10 Good
"Was a bit tricky to find the cottage, the number was not visible at all because of a post in front of it.The shower was only hot for a very short moment, maybe a minute max, then suddenly freezing! Apart from that...Very nice and clean, private and quiet. comfortable beds. No tv or radio which didnt bother us. Fresh Flowers in vases and Cookies in the tin were nice touches. "

10/10 Excellent
"Lovely off the beaten track spot to stay while visiting Farewell Spit. Cute little cottage with everything you need for a night or two stop! The bathroom amenities are basic but do the trick for sure.There is a little stream in the garden, nature surrounds the cottage as well as other accommodation spaces on the property but it still felt very private. Heather the host was very welcoming and friendly. She was available if needed and quick to respond. "
