The property was clean, comfortable and well appointed. The outdoor kitchen area was great in the evenings. Pelican is quiet but relaxing and the sunset over the lake was stunning. Would highly recommend staying here

We had a great mini getaway. The accommodation had everything we needed, was really clean and well presented. Such a great location tucked away in a quiet street but so close to the water and cafe etc. Wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. Thank you :)
