• Vivien from Australia (9/10)

  Easy to find .
  The house and grounds had a welcome to the beach house feel about it.
  The garden was lovely to wander about in.
  The front veranda would be ideal to spend a sunny afternoon having a wine.
  The beds so comfortable had the best nights sleep.
  We kept finding little things to surprise us ,such as the whale ,and the fish in the bathroom.
  Had the feeling that our host had gone to great lengths to make this home so comfortable that one did not want to leave.
