Fishing Trip

Great home base for a week of fishing. Awesome that you are allowed pets outside. Nice neighborhood and has everything you need. This batch is just that - don't expect a flash house or anything but it was perfect for what we were after. Bring bug spray with you though!

When its good to be central to nowhere

A great little/big shaded base camp for the coastal drifters. Central to nowhere and quiet. Big enough to kick a ball in the shade, with a good-sized kitchen/entertaining area. Yet small enough to easily maintain through your stay. The only bug was that I couldn't get the wifi sorted, which would be an issue for parents with whinging kids. Solid 4 stars from me :)

Awesome bach

The bach was a great home away from home. Comfy beds, large kitchen area with full size fridge and oven. Only downfall was the shower, the pressure was almost non-existent.

Location good.

Location good. Seaview is tainted by a big pile of logs and a old rusty trailer close to the back decking. The accomodation comprised off two portacabins and metal doors. You were expected to take all green waste and rubbish away. The closest rubbish tip was closed on the day we left. The fridge seal was hanging off .

The accomadation for what it is “a bach” is fine and is relatively cosy, however there were a few issues: -no smoke alarms -an oven that has no bake function -the seperate sleeping room can’t be locked from the outside. -rusty sharp corrigated iron on the deck. -one of the showers has no tap connection for the temperature.
