Good beach house in excellent location

Comfortable and dog friendly holiday house in an excellent location.Uninterrupted view of the water which is right across the road, road is a dead-end so quite quiet. Garden is fully fenced, good sized so good for the woofer. House is simple and comfortable, has good wifi.Would definitely stay here again.

My family had a wonderful short stay at this property in Marlo. It is in the perfect location with great views. Cathie is a wonderful host and left us all sorts of wonderful things for us to enjoy. The property itself is simple but very homely / cosy with a good set up.

Amazing stay

The property is in an amazing location has every facility you could need on a stay away. Biscuits on the table and milk in the fridge and a big stack of fire wood one of the best places I’ve stayed at can’t wait to go back. Caught plenty of fish too right out the front door!

We enjoyed our stay. The beds were comfortable. Everything was clean and we were able to prepare our Christmas dinner roast in the well appointed kitchen. The weather was mild and we were able to do lots of walks and do some interesting bird watching.

Home away from Home

The personal touches make this stay as comfortable as it comes. Sunsets and sunrises from the deck and the beach right on the doorstep makes the most relaxing and comfortable stay there is. Walking distance to the pub, jetty and general store, what more can you want?! Plenty of space for the whole family including the fur babies, excellent accommodation and can’t wait to go back
