  Very comfy beds. Had everything we needed. Clean but could do with some updating. Unfortunately the TV was not working for us, seemed to be an issue looking at other reviews. It’s not really walking distance to cafes ect,
  It was advertised as pet friendly but only released after booking dogs only welcome outside, so we did not bring our dog. I don’t think it should advertise as pet friendly

  This was the perfect accommodation for our family. It was comfortable, warm, clean and the gardens are gorgeous (watching a magpie and bunny frolic together on the front lawn was magical!). This place has everything you'll need for a cosy seaside escape. We'll be back!

  Loved my stay here The house was well set out The kitchen was well stocked making it easy to cook full meals!!
  A nice quiet neighbourhood. Despite a fairly busy road there was no traffic noise.A bonus having a washing machine so could pack my clothes clean.The back deck would be amazing in the summer.The small deck out the front was a nice place for the morning cuppa The house was warm and hardly needed the heat pump.

  Rented this house to spend the long weekend with our little family of 3 and friends with their 2 kids. The place was really clean, offered all the basics and more. Books and games for kids and adults to play after long days at the beach. Big garden for kids to run around. Very clean. Amazing stay
