A few little details like the TV sound system not working and whilst this was fixed on the night of arrival the contractors (albeit nice people) arrived at 9pm at night. Toaster and icemaker in fridge not working and microwave a little worse for wear. Minor details however for the price per night it would be worth sorting these things before guests arrive. ##### Joelene C.

Its a special house, makes you feel relaxed immediately and the grounds and private beach are brilliant, especially for our dogs who are fascinated if a little freaked by the many rabbits around! Not as luxurious as some holiday homes and outdoor furniture (cushions) may need a spring clean, but still my favourite home from home. Kayaks are a plus as well - can't wait to return. ##### Mary W.

Amazing old Bach, very cool location. Stunning beach walks. Beware of the unfriendly groundskeeper up on the hill, don't stray too far from the property! Also we got charged part of our bond for cleaning of excessive dog hair, although property rental states ok to have pets. Don't even think of building a fire on the beach, you'll get a call asking you not to. It's the rules. Read the rules! Good internet coverage in the house. Heaters in each room.
