Amazing location
Awesome location- nice place to destress with the family. We were a group of 7; the weather limited outdoor access- if fine it would be superb. It would be amazing for a smaller group or two couples. A definite place to revisit.

beachfront hideaway
This is the place to be if you're looking for privacy. Your closest neighbour is far away on another hilltop. The beach is just a couple of minutes walk away and you have it all to yourself. We'd love to be able to go back there again.

Great Stay
Great place to stay. It was tight as we were 7 adults and it was very rainy so weren't able to utilize the outdoor space as much as we would have liked but was still a great time.

Lovely relaxed setting.
This place is a gem. The location is superb, only a short walk down to the beach which was great for fishing. The cabins are comfy and clean and we loved the covered deck for sitting and admiring the ocean and the sunset. Lynette is an awesome host, friendly and helpful. We loved our stay.

Superb spot for a break. Loved everything about our stay including the rain, sun, wind, stormy seas and calm weather. The two separate cabins were great - cosy and contained. Great hot tub. Comfy bed. Primo! Thank you 🙏
