"We had such a good time—Mum, four teenagers and our little dog! We were hoping to unwind after the school term and work, and we did! We swam and walked every day. It’s a quiet, friendly neighbourhood. If you run out of something or fancy some takeaway, you’re in luck—there are shops nearby (you can walk or drive). It’s a short walk to the beach, and you can enjoy coastal walks nearby, swimming, fishing or just relaxing. It was easy to settle into this breezy beach bach—it felt like home away from home. It’s comfy, has everything you need if you’re looking for a peaceful escape. It definitely has a fishing village community vibe, safe, friendly and a relaxed family feel. The teenagers didn’t want to leave. We were looking for somewhere quiet. It ticked all the boxes for us. The Bach itself is well laid out, clean, warm, cosy and equally spacious as there’s plenty of separate areas, including outdoors, to seat yourself or gather without feeling like we were falling over each other. We really loved having our dog with us and great that he had a fenced off area to play in too. We especially loved the extra outdoor covered seated bbq area as an option to cook and eat. Indoor outdoor flow was perfect. Thank you, we loved it. What great hosts. Excellent communication."
"We had a wonderful experience. Emma was quick to respond, greeted us and made sure we have everything we needed. We had a very peaceful stay with our dogs. We had everything in the very spacious and clean cabin, located in the quiet and private place, incredibly tranquil, perfect for a relaxing getaway. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind. Looking forward to staying there again"
"Staff were friendly and good to deal with. However I sent an email directly to the motel and never got a response.
Property has dated decor and could do with modernizing. Bed had "roll together" and I would replace. Met others staying whose bed was not good. Looked like blood stains on the white curtain backing was the first thing I saw when I opened the door. Dimly lite rooms. Replacement down lights had fly poo all around them. Needs an extractor fan in the bathroom. Would suggest getting nett curtains to give privacy and to allow some light into the room. "
